Tweakers Shams Mulani, Himanshu Singh give hosts the chance to bag precious seven points by beating Odisha by an innings or 10 wickets

Mumbai are on the verge of an outright win over Odisha in their Elite Group ‘A’ Ranji Trophy encounter at the Mumbai Cricket Association’s Bandra-Kurla Complex ground on Friday. After following on, the visitors were 126-5 at stumps on Day Three, trailing by 191 runs.
It will be interesting to see if the Ajinkya Rahane-led side can earn valuable seven points at stake (six for an outright win plus one point if won by an innings or by 10 wickets). Mumbai had the chance to beat Maharashtra by 10 wickets and earn seven points at the same ground last month, but lost the wicket of opener Ayush Mhatre while chasing 61 and so had to be content with six points.
