The Highveld Lions meet the Mumbai Indians on Friday in the 2013 Champions League T20 cricket tournament. The match starts at 10:30 a.m. EDT (8 p.m. IST). Watch the free live stream HERE.
Both teams need a win on Friday to retain a chance of making it to the CLT20 semifinals. Mumbai and the Lions are in similar positions, IB Times reports. Mumbai has two points after an opening-game loss to the Royals and an abandoned match against Otago, due to rain. The Lions also have only two points - the team's opening-game against Perth was abandoned, and they lost to the Royals.
"It looks like a decent wicket, the grass reminds me of the Wanderers. Playing Mumbai is always a big game, we would have bowled first as well," Lions skipper Alviro Petersen said, via CricBuzz.com. "Two changes for us. Neil McKenzie is back in place of Temba Bavuma and Imran Tahir replaces Thami Tsolekile."
"We will bowl," Mumbai skipper Rohit Sharma said. "It looks a fresh wicket, we will try to make use of the conditions and put them under pressure. We need to assess the conditions quickly. We are well prepared. No changes in our squad."
