A year has passed since Mumbai Indians’ forgettable Champions League campaign in South Africa but the script continues to have an eerie resemblance. The 2011 winners bowed out in the group stages after suffering a defeat in the first game and a wash-out in the next and their ongoing journey seems to be running on the same path.

Sunrisers Hyderabad, who became the fourth Indian team to enter the main draw of the Champions League T20, face their first big test when they take on Trinidad & Tobago here on Tuesday night.

Over the six seasons of the Indian Premier League, Chennai Super Kings’ batsmen have developed a knack of rising to the occasion while chasing big totals and Sunday was another day when that quality was displayed in abundance by Suresh Raina and Michael Hussey in their CLT20 game here against Titans.

With four of their players alleged to have ‘fixed’ an Indian Premier League game early this year, the Sunrisers Hyderabad went about their business in a calm manner at the PCA Stadium here on Monday afternoon. “We are only talking about tomorrow’s match,” said coach Tom Moody as his players ground out a two-hour training session.

The Pakistan Cricket Board has no mechanism in place to “convince” retired Test umpire, Asad Rauf to go to Mumbai to face spot-fixing charges, an official said on Monday.

Dale Steyn does not want the standoff between the BCCI and CSA to result in a curtailed series between India and South Africa later this year as the speedster says the two teams share a “great cricketing rivalry”.
