With a victory against Himachal Pradesh behind them, Mumbai run into Puducherry in Round Five of the Ranji Trophy Elite Group D, starting at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday.
Group toppers Mumbai (17 points) will be up against a team that has been in the Ranji Trophy mix since 2018-19 when it became a full member of the BCCI. Puducherry have worked their way up from Plate to Elite, staying there since 2021-22. This will be the first time the two teams meet in the red-ball format. They have played each other in white-ball formats with mixed results.
