Chennai Super Kings V Mumbai Indians, September 24
Start time 2000 (1430 GMT)
They call themselves the Indians of Bombay. But their 14 man squad has no one in Mumbai and seven non-Indians. Three foreign players selected to play for Mumbai in front of the other sides involved in the Champions League. If you thought that was a joke, think about it - an injury-induced relaxation in the rules allows Mumbai abroad in the field five players instead of the four sides IPL usually attributed to already generous compared to other teams. Seismic zones of high intensity fields provide more uniform than that.
Even after the relief provided by the organizers, Mumbai see a hand in the conflict. Harbhajan Singh - on the back of his worst season in international cricket - held a missed three leading Indian stars, including the biggest of them all. Sachin Tendulkar absence is a challenge not only for Mumbai, but the tournament itself. The problem will not be felt so bad Chepauk, which should be filled with loyal people who have lapped up a whole season without seeing a home defeat IPL.
Chennai Super Kings are among the favorites to win the tournament, and the overwhelming favorites in their opening game. Michael Hussey has won almost every piece of silverware on offer in Sri Lanka, while MS Dhoni was a tournament player in England ODIs, a series of Suresh Raina shrugged off his test blues. R Ashwin and Doug Bollinger are also coming off a consistent international performances. Mumbai is to pull off a big surprise to put on the cable, which has become a good form before the tournament.

What is Andrew Symonds has done? He had a limited role in the IPL and has not played any cricket since. Not that he would turn up rusted - expect him to fly and let fly blankets. Expect fireworks when it is at the crease. And read his lips when he put the fields in consultation with the captain Harbhajan.
M Vijay was the man of the match for the 2010 Champions League final, and this year's IPL final. He was unable to exploit the opportunities that came their way to India from the tournament, and this gives him the opportunity to share the Indian domestic season.
