Delhi Daredevils
Mumbai Indians
Mumbai have done well having gotten to 165/8 at the end of 20 overs. They were struggling at the start of the innings haviing been reduced to 28/3 with Jayasuriya and Duminy back in the dug out. But that was followed by a 73 run stand between Tendulkar and Rahane along with a brisk 43 run stand for the sixth wicket between Rahane and Shah. They have done well to push their score past the 160 run mark and even though it's a smaller ground, it won't be an easy task.

Delhi have won the toss and Virender Sehwag has elected to field first.
Mumbai play Delhi at the SuperSport Park, Centurion as the teams face off in their last league game of the tournament. The match is dead rubber in a way as Delhi have have already cemented their place in the final four while Mumbai can do nothing to change the fact that they will be on their way home after the game is over. But they both would want to win here as a win for Mumbai would mean a higher position in the final table and that increases their prize money as also their pride whereas Delhi are going into this match after having suffered a thumping defeat to Bangalore and another defeat before the semis would not do their confidence much good. Mumbai would be without Dwayne Bravo who has left for England to joing the West Indies squad.
