Skipper Ajinkya Rahane conjured a typically gritty hundred and pacer Royston Dias supported his effort with a five-wicket haul as defending champions Mumbai completed a fine escape act, scripting a commanding 152-run over Haryana to enter the Ranji Trophy semifinals here on Tuesday.
Chasing 354, Haryana crumbled against left-arm pacer Dias' maiden five=wicket haul (5/39) and Shardul Thakur (3/26), as the veteran quick completed a creditable nine-wicket haul for the match.
Rahane, resuming on 88, wasted no time in the morning to notch 108 (180 balls; 13x4) -- his 41st first-class century, that guided Mumbai to 339 in the second innings for an overall lead of 353 runs.
