Today will be the much awaited eliminator match between Mumbai Indians and defending champions, Chennai Super Kings. Both the teams have played much below their expected performance level and thus will be hoping that today they come back to their full form.
Chennai had the poorest performance so far still the start of IPL are really lucky to qualify for the playoff’s, thanks to RCB who lost their match against Deccan Chargers.
While Mumbai Indians also need to realize their full potential as this is the eliminator, means the team which loses goes packing.
