Do or Die matche for both Mumbai Indian & Lions

Its around another 2 hours left for the T20 match between Mumbai Indian and Lions be begin. Both team have already lost their match match of Rajashtan Royals and once match was white washed to different opposition teams. So both teams have 2 points from equal number of matches.

Today both team will enter the stadium to seal their first win of CLT20 as a win here can only keep the hope alive in the tournament.  For the losing team today it would be end of qualifying to the semi-finals whoever for winning team also its not going to be an easy task and they need to win the next match as well and still can't be sure of the semis with Otago Volts team already 4 points ahead of both the teams.

Lets see what happens it the Champions League match today and then see the point table.

Good luck to both the teams and the retiring legend Sachin Tendulkar who is 31 runs short to become the 16 player to score 50,000 runs in all recognized form of cricket. Interestingly he'll be the first Indian to do so.

Mumbai Indians restricted to 94 runs by Rajasthan Royals

Mumbai Indians, a team with strong batting line up was restricted to their lowest ever score in IPL by the Sharne Warne lead Rajasthan Royals. Previous lowest score by Mumbai Indians was 116 runs. So far in the tournament Mumbai teams top orders was scoring runs heavily and thus the middle order didn't have the real match practice leading to the disaster today.

Rajashtan needs just 95 runs and seems they will chase the score comfortable if not easily. Just to update you on yesterdays match Delhi team once again failed to chase the score and remain at the bottom of the points table.

Keep watching the live scoreboard, also don't miss the next match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Pune Warriors.

48 Tons and still going - Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar

Don't know when and where he will stop. Its hard to predict number of centuries, runs he will score before stopping. Today he stood against the Sri Lankan attack and I hope his test century number 48 will help India save the match. India now needs only 61 runs to avoid follow on.

It was also nce to see debutant Suresh Raina hitting half century and he is still on the crease with Sachin.

Below are this pics from the second test match between India and Sri Lanka:






I Hope one day I'll have 100 posts about Sachin Tendulkar at this blog :)
