The odds are certainly stacked against the law enforcers who have yet to win a game in ten matches. They were a bit unlucky to be pipped at the post by the CR (31-33) in a second round game. Scores of 20, 31 and 26 in the second round underline this. The absence of the dynamic Muthutantri, and the injury to Dixon, in all probability, set the Havies back a bit. So far as the mind-games go, the Havies are far ahead.
