Madhya Pradesh looked in control on the third day, thanks to a double-century stand between Yash Dubey and Shubham Sharma. The partnership powered MP to 228/1 at lunch. Dubey reached his hundred at the stroke of lunch, while Sharma scored his fourth hundred of the season in the second session. The pair helped Madhya Pradesh go past 250 without losing a single wicket on Day 2. On the previous day, Mumbai found great strength through Sarfaraz Khan, who put on a brilliant 134 to power the team to 374 runs in their first innings. Sarfaraz was unperturbed by his team losing regular wickets at the other end. He continued his terrific form in the domestic circuit and hit a fourth century of the season. Sarfaraz scored a gritty 134 before his departure brought an end to Mumbai's innings, on 374. In response, Madhya Pradesh put in a terrific performance with the bat against Mumbai's just-about par score. At the close of play on the second day, MP were 123/1, trailing Mumbai by 251 runs at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
