Indore:  Mumbai on Tuesday dished out a clinical performance to beat Uttar Pradesh by 46 runs in their last Super League Group B game of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy here. However, the win hasn't allowed Mumbai to make to the finals yet.

The team which makes it to the final from Group B, will depend on the result of the Vidarbha versus Karnataka game which is currently underway.

Muttiah Muralitharan says, there cannot be 11 Kohli in the team

The final of the domestic T20 championship will be played at the Holkar Stadium between the winners of Super League Group A and Super League Group B. Put into bat at the Emerald Heights International School ground, Mumbai posted a massive 183/7 with 'ever-dependable' Siddhesh Lad top scoring with 62 off just 44 balls and taking the opposition bowlers to cleansers.

After dismissal of  Jay Bista (0), Lad and Eknath Kerkar (46 off 36 balls) conjured a 96 run stand for the second wicket to lay the foundation of a big total. Then skipper Shreyas Iyer (43 off 27 balls) played his usual attacking game and when he departed Mumbai had crossed the 175-run mark.

DDCA is not to felicitate Virat Kohli, Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag for this reason

From UP side,  captain Ankit Rajpoot (3-47) was the pick of the bowlers. Mumbai bowlers then shot out UP for 137 with medium pacer Shardul Thakur (3-15), Siddhesh Lad (3-23) and Shivam Dube (3-31) sharing the spoils.
