Brilliant knocks of 118 and 73 respectively from Aditya Tare and captain Prithvi Shaw on Sunday helped Mumbai win their fourth Vijay Hazare Trophy title as they defeated Uttar Pradesh by six wickets in the final here at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
Shaw finished the season as the leading run-getter in the tournament with a total tally of 827 runs. Chasing 313, Mumbai got off to a fantastic start as openers Shaw and Yashasvi Jaiswal put on 89 runs inside the first nine overs. The onslaught saw the Mumbai skipper going past the 50-run mark and he also became the first player to score more than 800 runs in a single edition of the Vijay Hazare Trophy. However, Uttar Pradesh stormed right back as Shivam Mavi dismissed Shaw (73) in the 10 over of the innings.
Soon after, Jaiswal (29) was also sent back to the pavilion by Shivam Sharma and Mumbai was reduced to 127/2 in the 15th over. Shams Mulani then joined Aditya Tare in the middle and the duo retrieved the innings by stitching an 88-run stand for the third wicket.
With just 98 runs away from the target, Mumbai ended up losing the wicket of Mulani (36) as he was dismissed by Yash Dayal in the 31st over the innings. However, Tare continued from the other end as he went on to register his maiden List-A hundred.
