Mumbai: VVS Laxman does not foresee any problem when his teammate Andrew Symonds and feisty Mumbai Indians' stand-in skipper Harbhajan Singh come face-to-face in tomorrow's IPL tie at the D Y Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai.

This is a new tournament. That was in the past and both are thorough professionals. Both are aggressive players and match winners for their teams and countries," the Deccan Chargers captain told reporters here on the eve of the match.

Harbhajan and Symonds had an acrimonious confrontation during the Sydney Test between India and Australia at the beginning of the year and the former has now plunged into a fresh controversy by allegedly slapping S Sreesanth last night at Mohali during his team's third IPL tie.

The feisty off-spinner has been served a show-cause notice by the Cricket Board, which has asked an explanation from Harbhajan on the incident by Monday.

Laxman said that his team had lost two close matches by not being able to finish off after starting well and it was imperative that they learn lessons from these.

"Two of the three matches, that we lost could have gone either way. We just could not finish off what we started. It's important we finish off well tomorrow," he said.
