Mumbai Indians lose to Redbacks, Virtually out of CLT20

Tom Cooper hit 19 off five balls to see South Australia to a five-wicket win over IPL giants Mumbai Indians in the Champions League Twenty20 cricket match here today.

The defeat, Mumbai's second in two games in group B, puts Sachin Tendulkar's team on the brink of elimination.

Cooper smashed two sixes and a four at the death as South Australia overhauled Mumbai's 180-7 with three balls to spare. The Redbacks finished on 182-5.
Openers Michael Klinger and Daniel Harris both made half-centuries in a 112-run opening partnership, but the Redbacks needed big hitting from Cooper and Cameron Borgas (14 off five) to see them to victory.

Saurabh Tiwary topscored for Mumbai with 44 off 36 balls.
