Cobras to end Mumbai's run

So far Mumbai have been the magicians of the Nokia Champions League even though they left Sachin Tendulkar out of their squad and were predicted to struggle for runs.

That has certainly been the case and, with wicketkeeper Davy Jacobs injured, the man who has stepped up to the plate is Ambati Rayudu.

He not only took over the stumper role but was promoted up the batting order after his nerveless performance which edged out Trinidad and Tobago in their run-drought thriller.

Cape Cobras seemed set to enhance their chances until Dwayne Bravo smashed Dale Steyn into oblivion. Steyn has long been seen as one of the top "death" bowlers in world cricket, but 14 off the first three balls of the penultimate over reduced the runs required to very manageable proportions.

With victory in that game, Cobras would have been well placed but now they are under more pressure than Mumbai,1.80 to win Friday's game.

It is still difficult to see where the Indians will find the runs to threaten a third win, but so far Harbhajan's men have found a way thanks largely to leading run-scorer and wicket-taker Lasith Malinga.

Cobras have oozed runs and will expect to post another meaningful total and, if the likes of Herschelle Gibbs perform well again, then a win for the South African side will surely follow at 2.00.

Mumbai are the only unbeaten side in the group and will be virtually assured of a semi-final spot with a win but amazingly have been the least impressive team in Group A.
