Can NSW ride on Super Over success?
ESPNcricinfo previews the Champions League Twenty20 match between Mumbai Indians and New South Wales
Match facts
Mumbai Indians v New South Wales, October 2, ChennaiStart time 1600 (1030 GMT)
Big Picture
A Super Over win against Trinidad & Tobago has revived New South Wales after a poor start to the tournament. A defeat in that game, which looked very likely, would have put the former title-winners on the brink of elimination but Moises Henriques engineered a thrilling victory that has kept their hopes of qualification alive. Wins in their next two games would guarantee their progress, but they are up against a team on the verge of making it to the semi-finals. Should New South Wales lose, they leave themselves at the mercy of other results.Watch out for …
David Warner: Like the rest of the New South Wales top order, Warner has got the starts but hasn't quite pushed on. He struck 20 in his team's opening game and 38 against Trinidad and Tobago but the domineering approach that he introduced himself with more than two years ago against South Africa is yet to be put on show this tournament.Team news
Mumbai Indians are unlikely to make any changes given Kanwar's bright start with the franchise. Ben Rohrer has an impressive record for New South Wales, but has been dismissed cheaply twice in as many games at No.6. Whether his team addresses that with a change in the line-up remains to be seen.Stats and trivia
- New South Wales were involved in a tie, and then a Super Over win, for the first time in their Twenty20 history. There have been eight T20 ties this year; last year had the most ties in T20 history, 11 in all.
