A star-studded batting line-up, headlined by the troika of Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane and rising teenage batting sensation Prithvi Shaw, make Mumbai runaway favourites against Hyderabad in the first Vijay Hazare semi-final here today. With the inclusion of Prithvi and Rahane, who joined the squad after completing their Test match duty in Hyderabad along with the presence of Rohit and Shreyas Iyer, the Mumbai batting does have a menacing look to it.

Ambati Rayudu and young pacer Mohammed Siraj however do add some muscle to the Hyderabad outfit, which has been impressive in the national one-day championship this far. With Prithvi set to open alongside Team India's limited overs vice-captain Rohit, the left-handed opener Akhil Herwadkar is expected to be benched. Rahane, it is learnt, will be included in place of either Siddhesh Lad or Suryakumar Yadav.
