Ajinkya Rahane continued his T20 re-invention with a brutal 98 that carried Mumbai to a six-wicket victory over Baroda and into the final of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy here on Friday.

Mumbai bowlers chipped away at regular intervals as Baroda were restricted to 158-7, and Rahane’s blistering knock off 56 balls (11x4, 5x6) took his team to 164-4 in 17.2 overs in the first semi-final.
