While Mumbai and Cobras have only one group match left, the other teams have two more and almost everyone in the group is with a chance to make it to the last four.With only one win from three matches so far, the Australian outfit NSW face the prospect of elimination if they lose tomorrow`s tie against Mumbai.Mumbai, meanwhile, 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 yesterday`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.Right after MI narrowly defeated Trinidad & Tobago by one wicket, captain Harbhajan Singh had warned his side that unless they improved their batting performance, they would soon be bundled out of the tournament.
