Mumbai Indians to play against South Australian Redbacks for first win

THIS EVENING at Kingsmead in Durban, Mumbai Indians will play for their first win in the ongoing Airtel Champions League T20 tournament against South Australian Redbacks in a Group B match. In the opening tie of the Champions League 2010, Mumbai Indians lost against Highveld Lions, whereas, South Australia Redbacks started their campaign with a victory over Highveld Lions at the SuperSport Park, Centurion, on Sunday.
Mumbai Indians skipper Sachin Tendulkar has the ability to clinch the victory from the jaw of defeat single-handed, but in cricket it is also important to see the team effort. In today's match, Mumbai Indians may consider the reshuffle in batting order of Kieron Pollard. He is one of the best stroke player of the world. Young Shikhar Dhawan and Ambati Rayudu can also steal the show for their team. Today, Saurabh Tiwary may also get a chance ahead of R Sathish against South Australian Redbacks.
Mumbai Indians main concern is their bowling, in the previous match Zaheer Khan was very expensive, Harbhajan Singh is also not performing well. However, Lasith Malinga did bowl well against Highveld Lions.
South Australian Redbacks Captain Michael Klinger smashed 78 runs in 48-ball innings which had six fours and five sixes, to an 11-run victory over Highveld Lions. In the bowling department Shaun Tait, whose deliveries touched 150kmph, was the most successful bowler with three for 36 from his four overs.
