Herwadkar shines as Mumbai hammer Goa by seven wickets

Mumbai continued their ruthless showin the Vijay Hazare Trophy, as they hammered Goa by seven wickets in their Elite Group A clash here Tuesday.

After bundling out Goa for a paltry 186, Mumbai chased the target losing only three wickets in the process and in 36 overs with opener Akhil Herwadkar (108 not out) starring in the team's dominant victory.

Mumbai have not lost any of the matches in the ongoing national One-Day tournament so far, and at the Just Cricket ground here, their bowlers rose to the occasion.

With this win, Mumbai are on course to make it to the next round.

Experienced medium pacer Dhawal Kulkarni (3-32) led from the front as Goa lost wickets at regular intervals.

Kulkarni was ably supported by Royston Dias (2-36), Shams Mulani (2-31) and Shivam Dube (2-36).

For Goa, lower-middle order batsman Suyash Prabhudesai showed some resistance with a gritty 52, that helped his side pass the 175-run mark.

Amit Verma (49) too chipped in, but other than these two no .
