Shreyas Iyer (Mumbai Captain): "Obviously, you gain a lot of confidence from the way the top two batters go about things upfront. We have discussed in the team meetings that we have to go berserk because we have a long batting line-up. We have to make full use of it.
You have to be decisive in this format. It’s important to stay in the present. There are six bowlers and to rotate them, it’s kind of difficult. But when they are bowling this way, it becomes hard for the batters to come up.
Bowling in the powerplay, they have been pretty decent. It was a commendable total on the board put by Baroda on this wicket. I feel we could have restricted them between 140 and 150 but they got 10 runs extra. But it was important for us to stay in the moment while chasing and seize the moments."

Ajinkya Rahane (Player of the Match): "Really happy with the way I’m batting at the moment. It’s about contributing to the team. The way I’m batting, I don’t want to think much about the individual outcomes and results. I just want to think about the team.
The way this T20 format is going forward, you have to go hard in the first six overs. I must go hard and give my team a solid start. Once I get start, it becomes easier for me to carry on till the 15th and 16th over.
We have been together in a couple of practice sessions. There are a lot of experienced players. Our job is to share our experiences with the youngsters and give them the freedom to play in their style."

Player of the Match: Ajinkya Rahane
Krunal Pandya (Baroda Captain): "Pretty happy with how the boys went in the entire season. We were in tough situations but did well to come out on top. We were in a good situation but lost back-to-back wickets. From there on, it was slightly difficult but we did well to get to 160.
A lot of positives. We are a work in progress team. We are on track to getting better. Shashwat has done really well in this season. Bhanu and Shivalik have also played brilliantly. Hardik was also there.
Shashwat picked up the wicket of Suryakumar and not a bad wicket to pick up on his first T20 ball."

2:28 PM IST, Local Time: That’s it. Mumbai enter the final of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024. The bowlers did a fine job to restrict Baroda to 158 before Ajinkya Rahane displayed a T20 batting masterclass which helped his side chase down the total in just 17.2 overs with six wickets in hand. Baroda's journey in this year's competition comes to an end.
Chasing 159, Mumbai got off to a blazing start, thanks to Ajinkya Rahane who played some magnificent strokes upfront. His opening partner Prithvi Shaw scored eight off nine balls before being dismissed by Hardik Pandya. Skipper Shreyas Iyer joined Rahane at the crease who continued going strong as Mumbai finished the powerplay on 61/1.
The Baroda bowlers looked clueless on the field as the pair of Rahane and Shreyas took the second-wicket stand past 50. Rahane carried forward his right form and brought up his third successive fifty off just 28 balls. Mumbai were cruising before Shreyas holed out in the deep on 46 as the 88-run stand was broken in the 13th over by Atit Sheth.
There was no stopping Rahane though as he continued going berserk at the other end and entered into the 90s. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav gave Rahane a chance to bring up his hundred by playing out dot balls. Rahane scored 98 off 56 before falling when Mumbai required two to win. Suryakumar also departed on one but Suryansh Shedge finished things off in style as Mumbai entered the final of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024.
Earlier, Baroda were asked to bat first in overcast conditions. After losing Abhimanyusingh Rajput (9) early in the innings, Shashwat Rawat and Krunal Pandya led the recovery work and put 50 between them. Mumbai stormed back into the contest by sending back Krunal (30), Bhanu Pania (2), Rawat (33) and Hardik Pandya (5) in quick succession. Vishnu Solanki also fell cheaply on six.
Shivalik Sharma was joined by Atit Sheth and both put 49 between them for the seventh wicket to help Baroda finish with a flourish. Sheth fell on 22 in the last over but cameos from Shivalik (36*) and Mahesh Pithiya (6*) helped Baroda post 158 on the board. Each of the six Mumbai’s bowlers picked up at least a wicket, with Suryansh Shedge finishing with two. Rahane then scored a quickfire 56-ball 98 to help Mumbai chase down the total comfortably and storm into the final.
