Hyderabad vs Mumbai, 1st Semi final at Bengaluru, Oct 17 2018 - Ball by Ball Commentary
If you missed much of the play, worry not. Saurabh Somani has you covered in our match bulletin that revolves around a spicy contest between Prithvi Shaw and Mohammad Siraj. Cheers
4.34pm Alas, the match has been called off. Mumbai, who were in any case hurtling towards their target have been declared winners by 60 runs - and worthy winners they are - as per the VJD method. That ends Hyderabad's journey in the competition and means that Mumbai, who last won the Vijay Hazare Trophy in the 2006-07 season, are through to the final. They now await the winner of the Delhi-Jharkhand semi-final, which takes place tomorrow.
4.10pm But with the rain refusing to relent, chances of resumption looking pretty bleak at the moment.
3.40pm The rain's not as heavy as a few minutes ago, Saurabh informs us, but it remains steady. Hyderabad, who need more cricket to stay alive in the tournament could take refuge in the fact that the Chinnaswamy has an excellent drainage system.
Saurabh Somani, our reporter at the venue, says that it's pelting down at the moment, which significantly reduces the chance of a resumption.
Mumbai are way ahead of where they need to be as per the VJD method. The par score with two wickets down is only 95 and Mumbai are well on course at 155 for two.
3.18pm The heavens have opened and the players are going off.

steers this past short third man. Too easy, at the moment, Iyer is toying with the bowling. Too short, too much width and that is a recipe for trouble against a batsman of Iyer's class.
