Mumbai Indians
Deccan Chargers
Mumbai will be pretty happy with their bowling performance after being asked to bowl first. They've restricted a strong Hyderabad batting line-up to 145/6 in their 20 overs and will be confident of chasing it down. Gilchrist (25), Suman (20) and Sharma (38) all got off to starts but couldn't convert and stay till the end. Venugopal Rao did well with a quick 28 at the end.

Hyderabad have won the toss and Adam Gilchrist has chosen to bat first.
After a brilliant 4 match winning streak to begin the tournament, Hyderabad find themselves precariously placed in the table following three consecutive losses. What promised to be a magical run to the semis is now looking like a dogfight against a cluster of teams, all with a chance at a top 4 spot. Hyderabad's batting, which looked unbelievably good at the start, has let them down recently, with Gibbs, Gilchrist and Rohit Sharma without a good innings in their last 3 games. Fidel Edwards has flown back to join the West Indian side which is an added blow to their bowling attack. A loss here, and Hyderabad will find themselves out of the top 4 for the first time this year and they will be desperate to avoid this. Mumbai have lost their last two games as well, moving from 3rd in the table to 6th in a matter of days. They have been a team of individual performances so far, be it Tendulkar, Jayasuriya, Malinga or Harbhajan, but their overall team game hasn't clicked consistently. Their middle order still looks unsettled and they seriously miss the services of a power hitter towards the end overs. A win will take them a few places above and into the top 4 while a loss could see them into 2nd last and that would hurt their chances greatly. Malinga and Zaheer are still a dangerous opening combination and they will need to keep firing if Mumbai have any chance to quell the Hyderabad attack. This one promises to be a cracking game.
