The win saw Mumbai book their place in the final which is set to take place at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rahane hit 5 boundaries and 11 sixes in his brilliant knock and was assisted well by skipper Shreyas Iyer who also played a decent knock of 46 from 30 deliveries to help Mumbai achieve the target of 159 in 17.2 overs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 88-run partnership between Rahane and Iyer led Mumbai to complete the chase rather comfortably. Suryansh Shedge finished the match with a towering six on the very first ball that he faced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier, Baroda was put into bat first under overcast conditions. Krunal Pandya and Shashwat Rawat took the score to 73 in the first 9 overs\u00a0before Shedge dismissed the former to trigger a batting collapse. Baroda could only manage to put a total of 158\/7 on the board after Hardik Pandya also failed to deliver, scoring 5 runs off 6 deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From 73\/1 to 103\/6, Baroda lost wickets in heaps before Atit Sheth and Shivalik Sharma played attacking cameos of 22 and 36 respectively to carry their side to a respectable total. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The
