Would not Daniel Vettori like to push the Mumbai Indians out of the IPL 2 qualifier match so that the Royal Challengers Bangalore can make a date with the Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 4 final on Saturday?

The Royal Challengers Bangalore had one foot in the IPL 4 final before Chennai Super Kings stormed back like defending champions should to take the first spot. However, for the Royal Challengers Bangalore, it has meant that they must confront one more hurdle - in the shape of the Mumbai Indians who beat Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL 4 eliminator to earn their right to another rematch before the final.
The Mumbai Indians will be going into the match brimming with excitement and confidence while one would expect a hurt and pressure fuelled Royal Challengers Bangalore. It makes one team the confident one and the other one a wounded tiger. Either way, that they will face each other should make for a pulsating competition to decide the second finalist.
With Sachin Tendulkar's Mumbai Indians, he will form the crux but for the Royal Challengers Bangalore, their fate appears to lie in the hands of Chris Gayle whose entry has dramatically enriched for the fortunes for the IPL 4 team. With the setting in Chennai at the same venue wherein less than twenty-four hours, one of these two teams will be locked in yet another battle royale in the IPL 4 final, one can expect both teams to raise their game and also, feel the pressure pulse in the course of the match.
With the final riding on it, it would be unwise to attempt to pick a winner in such a prickly match. The Royal Challengers Bangalore may have topped the IPL 4 points table, but the Mumbai Indians have stormed back into contention and will be on a high. If they can sustain it, it should make for a contest not to be missed.
