Match Over
CSK 212/2 (20 ov)
CSK won by 23 runs
212 on the board. CSK have set a massive target — the kind that changes body language in the dressing room. Samson's 114 off 56 (SR 204) was the innings that held everything together, with Mhatre (59 off 36) providing the support act. Patel (1/39 in 4 ov) and Natarajan (1/44 in 3.1 ov) did the damage between them. DC need 213 to win. 213 is a big ask for a team still searching for that first title. The innings break will be full of numbers, plans, and second-guessing — but this game will be decided by nerve, not arithmetic.

Match Over
CSK 212/2 (20 ov)
CSK won by 23 runs
212 on the board. CSK have set a massive target — the kind that changes body language in the dressing room. Samson's 114 off 56 (SR 204) was the innings that held everything together, with Mhatre (59 off 36) providing the support act. Patel (1/39 in 4 ov) and Natarajan (1/44 in 3.1 ov) did the damage between them. DC need 213 to win. 213 is a big ask for a team still searching for that first title. The innings break will be full of numbers, plans, and second-guessing — but this game will be decided by nerve, not arithmetic.
