Mumbai hit top gear in the final Group ‘B’ match thrashing Baroda by 82 runs to lift their run-rate to 0.990, but failed to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy here on Tuesday.

The resounding win came a tad too late as Bengal ticked all the boxes to top Group ‘B’ with a better net run rate (0.995) than Karnataka (0.379), who still qualified finishing second after both the teams finished with 16 points. Mumbai finished with 12 points with three wins and two losses.
