Dwaraka Ravi Teja smashed an unbeaten 45-ball 61 as Meghalaya stunned heavyweights Mumbai by six wickets in a Syed Mushtaq Ali domestic T20 Group D clash here on Friday.

Electing to bat first, Mumbai rode on Jay Bista's 44 to post 157/6 in the allotted 20 overs. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav scored 28, while wicketkeeper-batsman Aditya Tare hit 27. India batsman Shreyas Iyer flopped on the day as he could manage only 14.

In reply, Meghalaya recovered after being reduced to 41/3 at one stage to launch a superb comeback, riding on Ravi Teja's unbeaten 61 and R Sanjay Yadav's 55 as the pair added 92 runs in quick time to tilt the tie in their favour.
