Today in the second qualifier of IPL 2013, it will be a do or die situation for both teams, Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals as the winner will take onCchennai Super Kings in the finals of IPL 2013 on Sunday where as the loser’s dream will end today.

Mumbai who lost their first chance to qualify for the finals when they lost their match against Chennai would be hoping that they make the most of this second chance. Mumbai who have been in the top fours teams since last three seasons need to remove the tag of chokers as they fail to deliver in crunch matches. Even in the previous match against Chennai, Mumbai crumbled under pressure and lost the match by 57 runs.

On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals have impressed everybody with their performances, though they are demoralized by the spot fixing charges against three players, Darvid lead Royals know this is the chance to regain the lost glory. In the last match against Sunrisers, Royals looked down and out at one stage but they bounced back to win the match and move to this qualifier. This act of coming back from stages where other teams crumble under pressure is the strength of Royals and will cause headache to the Mumbai Indians.
