Mumbai will not make any changes in their squad for the Ranji Trophy final against the winners of the match between Delhi and Tamil Nadu, captain Paras Mhambrey said on Sunday.

Speaking to newsmen soon after the innings and 138 run victory over Baroda in the semi-final on Sunday, Mhambrey, however, said it is up to the chairman of Mumbai Cricket Association to decide on the team.

Mhambrey said he was very happy with the performance of his team as all the players, including the youngsters lived up to expectations.

He said Bhavin Thakkar, Navin Shetty, Aavishkar Salvi, Sairaj Bahutule, Ajit Agarkar and others played according to expectations.

Asked which ground he would prefer to play the final on, Mhambrey said his team is ready to play on any ground.

Mumbai manager Chandrakant Pandit, said accurate bowling by Agarkar, Bahutule, Salvi and others played an important role in Baroda's collapse.

He commended Zaheer Khan for maintaining his line and length and preventing Mumbai from piling up a big total.
