'Washout hurt chances'

Mumbai Indians coach John Wright on Tuesday said the washout match against Otago Volts dented their chances in the Champions League and hoped the must-win game against Perth Scorchers on Wednesday does not turn out to be their last outing in the tournament.

Mumbai have been left with no other option but to win their last Group ‘A’ game against Scorchers to make the cut for the semifinal.

“We’ve already missed one game, which is proving problematic for us. It’s unfortunate that weather has a bearing on the outcome of the tournament,” said Wright.

“Hope the Delhi weather is fine and we get a game tomorrow (Wednesday). We are well supported wherever we go. Hopefully that will be the same,” he added.
