Rajasthan Royals has made it to the finals after a thumping win against the Chennai Super Kings. Now, the second semi-final between the Mumbai Indians and Trinidad & Tobago will decide, who will play against the Royals in the final of CLT20 2013.

It’s hard to pick the favorites from this match because both the sides have played some wonderful cricket throughout the tournament. On papers, Mumbai Indians looks a better side, but many of their big players haven’t made any significant contribution. Sachin Tendulkar and Dinesh Karthik have failed to make a mark, but the pair of Dwayne Smith and Rohit Sharma has been winning the matches for MI, with the bat.

For Trinidad & Tobago, a lot will rely on the opening pair of Lendl Simmons and Evin Lewis to see the team off to a quick start. Young Lewis has been the star for T&T with the bat and the likes of Darren Bravo and Simmons have chipped in with some good performances. T&T, as always, depend a lot on Sunil Narine. Narine has the maximum number of wickets (8) in the tournament and his four overs will have a crucial imapct on the outcome of the game.
