Mumbai team has played eight matches in this tournament so far. It remains seventh in the points table with three wins out of three. In the background of losing against the Rajasthan team by nine wickets, the Mumbai team made its play-off chances even more difficult. Mumbai have 6 more matches to play in this season. Mumbai team has to win six out of six matches to make the play-offs. If any match is lost then the run rate becomes the most important. Looking at the way the Mumbai team is playing now, it seems almost impossible to win six matches. Unless the sensational performance is shown, the team is not likely to win. Mumbai team has to play its next matches against Delhi Capitals, Lucknow, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Lucknow teams. However, three matches will be held at Mumbai team's home ground, Wankhede. That's the only chance for the team to come together.
