Rahane powers Mumbai to semis; Shami off colour

Out-of-favour India batter Ajinkya Rahane's explosive fifty capped Mumbai's stunning six-wicket victory over Vidarbha and their entry into the semifinals of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy here on Wednesday.

Once Vidarbha posted a massive 221 for six, Mumbai needed a strong chase and Rahane led from the front with an 84 off 45 balls (10x4, 3x6).

Mumbai made 224 for four in 19.2 overs and they will face Baroda in the semifinals on Friday here.

Under-fire Prithvi Shaw (49, 26b, 5x4, 4x6) reminded of the immense talent beneath his callous exterior with a powerful knock as Mumbai marched to 83 in just 7 overs.

Skipper Shreyas Iyer (5) and India T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav (9) fell in quick succession as Mumbai were reduced to 118 for three in the 11.1 overs.
