Mumbai, May 6: Welcome to super Sunday and the first match is between the Mumbai Indians and the Chennai Super Kings from the Wankhede stadium. These two team clashed in the first match of this year's tournament and Mumbai emerged victorious in that. Since then, both teams have struggled to maintain consistency. This match assumes importance for both teams.

Mumbai Indians have won the toss and elected to field

Harbhajan: Big game today. Chennai is a very good side and we need to play well. It's an important phase of this tournament and every game matters for all the teams. We'd like to stick to the basics and hopefully do well. Everyone is fit and we're looking forward to the games. We're bowling first. I'm not sure how the wicket will play, it's always been easier to chase first. RP Singh replaces Ojha. Ojha bowled well but going by the wicket, we needed a seamer. Smith comes in and will play in the middle order.

Dhoni: We're going into the business end of the tournament. Most of the teams will want to finish in the top 4 and it's important to peak at the right time and continue the momentum into the play offs. It looks like a good wicket, it generally is a sporting wicket. We were looking to bowl first also. The wicket will remain the same. We are confused about the wicket and it happened even in Chennai. Suresh Raina and myself are a bit unfit today but we're still playing, it's not a major issue. We have to play well at this juncture and we have to be at our best. We are unchanged.

Murali Vijay: I'm hitting the ball well and going to bat with an open mind. If I get runs, I'll be there and if I don't, I'll be dropped so the equation is very simple for me. I have to try and be at my best.
