After ouster, Mumbai team to ask MCA to take up 'unfair' rule with BCCI

The Mumbai Ranji team will ask the state cricket association to discuss with the BCCI the "unfair" rules that cut short their Vijay Hazare campaign despite dominating the quarterfinal against Chhattisgarh.

Chhattisgarh were declared winner in the quarterfinal on the basis of more number of victories than Mumbai during the league phase as the match could not be completed due to rain in Bengaluru.

Chhattisgarh had won five out of their eight games in Group A while Mumbai had managed four victories.

A member of the Mumbai support staff expressed displeasure over the current rules.

"Yes definitely we will make a demand. This was unfair," the member told PTI on condition on anonymity.

"How should the performance in the league stage matter in the knock-out stages. Every day is a new day. Else, a good team goes out in this fashion," the member said, adding "else this thing would continue."
