The mighty Mumbai Indians who have been knocked out of the Champions League Twenty20 will lock horns with the formidable Sydney Sixers in their last match of Champions League Twenty20. The Sixers have already reached the semis and they would not take their opponents lightly after their super performance in their previous game against the Chennai Super Kings. Apart from Tendulkar, everybody has contributed with the bat and the Little Master would want to make some significant contribution in their last match of the Champions League T20. The Sydney Sixers have some excellent bowlers like Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins. Mumbai would want Lasith Malinga, who took a 5-for in his last match to continue in the same rhythm.
