Delhi Waveriders to take on winless Mumbai Magicians
16 Feb 2014 5:00 AM IST
Laggards Mumbai Magicians would desperately look for a win against table-toppers Delhi Waveriders when they clash in their penultimate Hockey India League home tie, here on Saturday.
The Mumbai franchise, last edition’s wooden spoonists, would be rejuvenated after a long break but face a formidable task against the Sardar Singh-led Waveriders. Mumbai, who are to clash with Kalinga Lancers on Sunday to complete their home engagements, have been consistently poor barring a few games which includes their first leg tie against Delhi which they narrowly lost.
The Delhi outfit had earned a hard-fought 2-1 victory over the Magicians on their home turf. Despite being in control for most part of the match the Magicians allowed the Waveriders to take the game away.
‘We will go out and play well tomorrow. It is very much important for us to win and will try not repeating the mistakes in our game against Delhi Waveriders and the team has been working on that,’ said Mumbai coach MK Kaushik. ‘I agree the advantage is with them.’
