Chennai: Mumbai Indians captain Harbhajan Singh won the toss and chose to bat against New South Wales in their Champions League Twenty20 clash at MA Chidambaram stadium in Chennai on Sunday.
Both Mumbai and NSW are unchanged from their last matches.
Sitting at the top of the table with 5 points, Mumbai Indians' bid to enter into the semifinals last night itself got derailed as the match against South African side, Cape Cobras, was abandoned due to heavy rains.
Mumbai have done very well in the tournament so far, having put their injury nightmare behind. They had as many as six Indian players, including their captain Sachin Tendrils, out due to injury before the start of the series.
Although, Mumbai struggled with their batting initially, but a commanding performance in Friday's group match against Cape Cobras, where they piled on 176 for five in 20 overs before rain washed it away, shows that their batting unit has finally found its feet in the competition.
NSW's pace bowlers may be spared a similar treatment on the newly relaid Chennai pitch, which is a lot slower than it used to be and the ball does not come on as readily to the bat.
However, the pitch has aided spin. Simon Katich's spinners - Steve O'Keefe and Steven Smith - have impressed in their outings here, with O'Keefe in particular succeeding in restricting Trinidad & Tobago to just 15 runs in the Super Over to help NSW register victory.
Besides spinners, Katich will also hope that to his fast bowling department, which includes upcoming pacers Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and veteran Stuark Clark, check the threat of Pollard.
