Only pride at stake for Bangalore, Mumbai

Chennai Super Kings' victory dashed the hopes of Mumbai Indians, who will play their last match against Royal Challengers on Wednesday but are now out of semi-final contention. For, even if they do enough to win the match against the second-placed host side from the bottom up, it might not be enough to stay alive in the tournament.This is because Mumbai Indians snatched defeat from the jaws of victory against Team Jaipur, and despite whatever happens in Bangalore or Hyderabad, the Delhi Daredevils, with 15 points, are through to the semis.Mumbai's excruciating loss to Team Jaipur has given the Daredevils a second lease of life and a toehold in the last-four.

Chennai beat Chargers to reach semi-finals

Chennai Super Kings grabbed the last available semi-final spot in the Indian Premier League after beating Deccan Chargers by seven wickets in their last league match on Tuesday.Chasing 148 to win, the visitors overhauled the modest target with four balls to spare, thanks to sensible batting by Suresh Raina (54 not out) and skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni (37).The Chennai team not only sealed a semi-final place for themselves they also broke the heart of Sachin Tendulkar led Mumbai Indians team, which is now out of the tournament.A lose of Chennai and a Mumbai win tomorrow against Bangalore Royal Challengers would have enabled Mumbai to enter the last-four stage of the tournament. Now Mumbai's last league match has been rendered inconsequential.
