Form

Mumbai Indians

The Mumbai Indians have six points from their three games, but they sit in third place behind the Otago Volts after what has been a rather disappointing campaign.

Perth Scorchers 

Perth are without a win in Group A, losing two games and seeing their other against the Highveld Lions abandoned without a ball being bowled in what has been a very poor CLT20 for the Big Bash side. 

Key Men

Mumbai Indians

In Mumbai’s last game against the Highveld Lions, Dwayne Smith struck an unbeaten 63 from 47 balls at the top of the order. If the Indians are to have a chance of winning, he will need to get them off to a strong start with the bat.

Perth Scorchers 

If the Scorchers are to taste victory in this year’s CLT20, they will need a big performance from captain Simon Katich, who has been out of form so far but has the potential to deliver when his team needs him. 


Other Information

Weather: Yahoo! Weather promises sunshine and highs of 32C in Delhi, ideal conditions in a tournament that has suffered very few problems with rain so far.

Pitch: Given the promising weather forecast and the true nature of the Delhi pitch, the wicket is likely to stay flat throughout and comfortable for batting.

Form

Chennai Super Kings

Chennai are undefeated in Group B with three wins from their three games, guaranteeing themselves a semifinal berth having dominated their group.

Trinidad and Tobago 

Trinidad and Tobago sit in second place, ahead of the Titans on net run rate and also guaranteed a place in the semifinals by virtue of their opponents having finished their Group B schedules.

Key Men

Chennai Super Kings 

Mike Hussey remains the lynchpin of this Chennai batting lineup, as the Australian opens the batting and continually provides big, fast scores to build the innings.

Trinidad and Tobago 

Sunil Narine is a crucial spinner for Trinidad and Tobago, and having already picked up eight wickets in the competition he will be hopeful of adding more on helpful Indian pitches.
