Mumbai to face Saurashtra in Ranji finals

Mumbai will meet Saurashtra in the final of Ranji Trophy Cricket beginning in Pune today. While Mumbai are chasing their 41st Ranji Trophy title, Saurashtra are taking a rare shot at domestic cricket's biggest prize in the summit showdown. The young but mighty Mumbai have history and form firmly on their side as they will be appearing in their 45th final of the top domestic tournament. Saurashtra, however, are in the title clash only for the second time. Incidentally, it was Mumbai who put paid to Saurashtra's hopes of a maiden triumph by wrapping the final in three days in 2012-13. Mumbai won that match by an innings and 125 runs for their 40th trophy. Three seasons later, the scene remains more or less the same and it will take a huge effort from Saurashtra to upset a side which has almost won more titles than the rest of India combined. For the record, since 1990-91, Mumbai haven't lost any of the 10 finals they have played.
