IPL Cricket and SEO

IPL 2010 is beginning on March 12 and being a cricket player in the college time I've a great interest in cricket. IPL twenty twenty is about to begin and I have been a supporter of the Mumbai Indians team from the start of the tournament. Unfortunately the team was unable to do well in both the previous seasons.

Now comming to the reason why I am making this post at SEO blog is that, I just searched for Mumbai Indians to check latest updated from the team I support. Niow when i search "Mumbai Indian" in google. top two site in the results both are having same content in fact one website is photocopy of the other.

My question here is if google doesn't support duplicate content why both the site are enjoying the top rankings. One of them should be banned.

FYI URLS are:

http://75.126.186.214/Index.aspx
http://www.themumbaiindians.com/

Now this is a query you all SEO experts needs to check and answer. :)

Google Buzz a failure
