When Mumbai Magicians enter the field at MHAL Stadium on Tuesday, they will have no other choice but to beat Uttar Pradesh Wizards if they are to keep alive their hopes of entering the Hockey India League semifinals.
The race for the fourth semifinal spot opened up when UP lost to high-flying Delhi Wave Riders 0-3 in Lucknow on Sunday.
A loss here against the Lucknow franchise would bring an end to Magicians' campaign. Currently, Wizards lead Magicians by eight goals (22-14). But the Magicians need to win not only against UP but also their final match against Ranchi Rhinos on February 7 and pray that Wizards lose to Wave Riders.
The fact that the Magicians blanked Wizards 4-0 in their previous meeting should boost their confidence going in to Tuesday's match. Magicians put up their best display against the Wizards in the previous encounter to post their only win of the tournament.
Meanwhile in Jalandhar, Punjab Warriors would get a last chance to settle scores against Waveriders when they host the leaders in their last league encounter at Surjit Singh Hockey Stadium on Tuesday.
Both teams have booked their semifinal berths and the result is unlikely to affect the Wave Riders, who are safely perched on the top with 44 points.
The Warriors are currently third with 27 points.
But like all the other teams in the competition, the Warriors have never managed to conquer the domineering Wave Riders.

'The book is a model in methodology and organization, and it is an extremely important contribution to the accessible archaeological data on sites in China. Shelach should be congratulated for successfully conducting archaeological research as a foreigner in China...' Antiquity, 74:285 (2000) 'Chinese specialists naturally welcome this work, which supplies important comparative material for students of complex societies. ...this book is a significant contribution to the archaeological study of complex societies in general, and it succeeds in stimulating a range of important questions in the study of Chinese complex societies in particular.'

Production may come down by 50 per cent this year in the State
BERHAMPUR: Except salt farmers in Ganjam district, who incurred losses, most inhabitants in coastal Orissa are happy over the rain that accompanied the weakened cyclone 'Laila'.
Most of the people preferred to do away with their raincoats and umbrellas to drench and enjoy the much-needed respite from the scorching summer heat. Families, including children, were seen moving around the city on bikes without any protection to enjoy the rain. Farmers like S. Rath of Ankushpur say the recent rain would help vegetable farmers and in a way would put check on the probable rise in vegetable prices.
But, the state of salt farmers of Ganjam district is quite a contrast to the situation of general farmers. Salt production has been badly affected by the untimely summer rain which continued for three days. It is feared that the salt production in Orissa may get reduced by 50 per cent due to the recent rain.
Orissa is yet to be self-sufficient in salt production. Around 30,000 tons of salt gets produced in Orissa. A major chunk of the salt produced in Orissa comes from Ganjam district as salt production as a profession has been stopped in other areas of the State. Ganjam district's salt beds are located in two stretches on the coast line. One stretch is near the Ganjam and Humma area, while the other is near Sorala-Somandi. Salt is produced through cooperatives as well as by private companies in these areas. Salt is also produced in small quantity in Balasore district. The salt beds near Astarang in Puri district are non-functional. As per official records, there are 5,143 acres of salt beds in the State and out of it 3035 acres are functional.
Salt beds damaged
Secretary of the Humma Binchanapalli Salt Production and Sales Cooperative (HBSPSC), K. Duryodhan Reddy, says rain water has damaged salt beds as several embankments have been swept away and salt beds are silted. This cooperative society has targeted to produce 10,000 tons of salt this year as its past year's production was 8500 tons. Now it expects that production may go down to 4000 tons.
Usually salt production process in Ganjam district starts from February and continues till onset of monsoon in June. This year the oil spill from a ship in the sea near Ganjam coast also stopped salt production process for about a week in April.
