Match Summary

Mumbai batted first. 331/7 in 50 overs—a daunting total. But the headline wasn't the run-fest. It was the opener. Rohit Sharma out for a golden duck. First ball. Devendra Bora struck immediately. The 10,000+ fans at Sawai Mansingh Stadium who came to watch the India captain's encore were stunned into silence.

Mumbai's depth took over. Hardik Tamore was the hero: 93* off 82 balls. Sarfaraz Khan (55) and Musheer Khan (55) contributed crucial fifties. The middle order delivered exactly as the pre-match analysis predicted.

Uttarakhand's chase showed fight. Yuvraj Choudhary scored 96 off 96 balls—a near-century that kept them in the game. But 331 was always too many. All out for 280/9. Mumbai win by 51 runs.

Analysis Review

Validated: Mumbai's squad depth. Predicted they could handle the loss of any individual—even Rohit. Tamore (93*), Sarfaraz (55), Musheer (55) proved the thesis. IPL-quality depth matters.

Validated: The mismatch assessment. 88% confidence delivered. Mumbai won comfortably despite their talisman failing. Uttarakhand was outgunned—exactly as predicted.

Overestimated: Rohit Sharma's form. Predicted back-to-back fifties as "likely." He scored 0. Cricket humbles everyone. Form is not guaranteed from match to match.

Underweighted: Uttarakhand's resistance. Yuvraj Choudhary's 96 was unexpected. Dismissed them as "Plate-level"—but they made Mumbai work for the win. 280/9 chasing 331 is respectable.

Outcome

No bet placed. Edge was -1.0%—below the 2% minimum threshold. Correct decision. At odds of 1.12, even a ₹100 stake only returns ₹12 profit. The risk-reward was poor despite the correct prediction. Mumbai's win validates the analysis; the SKIP validates the staking discipline.
