Tue Dec 03 11:30:50 UTC 2024: ## Suryakumar Yadav Blasts 70 as Mumbai Triumphs in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy
**Mumbai, India** – Suryakumar Yadav marked a stunning return to competitive cricket with a blistering 70 off 46 balls, leading Mumbai to a convincing 39-run victory over Services in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Yadav’s explosive innings, featuring four sixes and seven fours, was complemented by a equally impressive 71 from Shivam Dube (36 balls, seven sixes, two fours). The duo propelled Mumbai to a challenging 192/4 in their 20 overs.
In contrast, Prithvi Shaw endured a disappointing outing, dismissed for a duck off just three balls. While Ajinkya Rahane contributed a useful 22, Shaw’s continued struggles following his IPL exclusion remain a concern. Shreyas Iyer also made a 20-run contribution for Mumbai.
Services’ chase fell far short, bowled out for 153 in 19.3 overs, despite a valiant effort. Yadav’s return to form, following a brief break for his sister’s wedding, will be a welcome boost for the Indian T20 team, currently touring Australia under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy. The remaining players are participating in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
