Dubai, Nov 4 (Ians/GloFans) Reigning champions Mumbai Indians (Mi) will face Delhi Capitals (DC), looking to shake off the ghosts that haunted them in the closing stages of the league phase, in the first Qualifier of the Indian Premier League (Ipl) at the Dubai International stadium here on Thursday.
The team that lose the match will get a lifeline, and both sides will be looking to avoid playing the extra match.
Mi have always been a strong contender for the title, and this season is no different. Ticking all the boxes so far, the Rohit Sharma-led side are clear favourites on Thursday.

And yet, Mi have comfortably managed to put big totals on board. They were, however, at...

Sharjah, Oct 22 (Ians/GloFans) Chennai Super Kings' (Csk) dream of entering the play-offs had almost been dashed but the defeat of Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) by Bangalore has handed them a ray of hope. Csk would look to capitalise on this when they face a confident Mumbai Indians (Mi) in their return fixture here on Friday.
Languishing at the last spot on the points table with just six points from 10 matches, Csk need to win all their remaining four games and will have to pray that the results of the other matches go in their favour to help them scrape through to the play-offs.
The last time Csk and Mi met in the ongoing season, Csk had registered a five-wicket win but since then, things have gone awry for Dhoni's men.
Nothing has gone Csk's way and to add to their woes, their most experienced all-rounder Dwayne Bravo has now...
