Mumbai Indians Fan Club

Deccan Chargers will host Chennai Super Kings today.

After Mumbai Indians defeat yesterday, Delhi Dare Devils have progressed to the semi-finals. Mumbai Indians will have to rely on Chennai Super Kings losing this game against the bottom placed Deccan Chargers along with defeating Bangalore to ensure they end on a higher run rate.

The irony of tonight's game is that a side not playing has more to lose than a team that's playing.
Deccan, that has one of the strongest sides on paper have been firing duds through the length of the IPL. If Chennai Super Kings win this game, they earn the last semi-final spot.
Mumbai can only hope that the Deccan's "charge" today under Captain Adam Gilchrist will be a strong one and find them victorious.


Deccan Chargers Team (Likely):
Adam Gilchrist (capt & wk), Shahid Afridi, Herschelle Gibbs, Rohit Sharma, Venugopal Rao, Ravi Teja, Scott Styris, PM Sarvesh Kumar, Pragyan Ojha, RP Singh, P Vijaykumar.

Chennai Super Kings Team (Likely):
Parthiv Patel, Stephen Fleming, Suresh Raina, Mahendra Singh Dhoni (capt/wk), S Badrinath, Albie Morkel, S Vidyut, Joginder Sharma, Muttiah Muralitharan, Manpreet Gony, Makhaya Ntini.
