The 1997–98 Irani Cup match was played 30 September - 4 October 1997 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The reigning Ranji Trophy champions, Mumbai defeated the Rest of India by 54 runs.[1][2]

Sairaj Bahutule's match figures of 13/168 were only the second instance of a bowler taking 13-wickets in an Irani Cup match, after Anil Kumble in the 1992–93 Irani Cup.[3]
