Mumbai: 
Six straight defeats weighing them down, debutants Pune Warriors' enormous task of keeping their wafer-thin hopes of advancing to the next stage alive doesn't get any easier as they take on table-toppers Mumbai Indians in an Indian Premier League match on Wednesday.
The two teams are on opposite ends of the win-loss table going into their ninth round clash at the D Y Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai.
Pune have, however, got a shot in the arm with the inclusion of the Sourav Ganguly in place of the injured pacer Ashish Nehra on Tuesday. But it remains to be seen whether he would get a game.
Mumbai bounced back from a hiccup against Rajasthan Royals to notch up their sixth victory in eight ties on Monday against Kings XI Punjab at the Wankhede Stadium while Pune went down to the same Jaipur franchise two days ago for their sixth loss in eight games.
The six-wicket defeat to the Royals has put the Warriors at the bottom of the 10-team ladder with just four points to their tally. Another defeat would put their campaign off track, making the rest of their round robin engagements into matters of only academic interest.
