INNINGS OVER — MI 159/7
159/7. A total that asks questions but does not answer them — CSK will fancy this chase, but cricket has a way of humbling confidence. Dhir's 57 off 37 (SR 154) was the innings that held everything together, with Rickelton (37 off 24) providing the support act. The bowling was a collective effort — Kamboj (3/32 in 4.1 ov), Ahmad (2/26 in 4 ov), Overton (1/23 in 4 ov) all contributed. The death overs were the story — 3 wickets fell as MI tried to accelerate, and what looked like 179+ became 159. CSK need 160 to win. And CSK are among the best chasers in the league — they will fancy this. The innings break will be full of numbers, plans, and second-guessing — but this game will be decided by nerve, not arithmetic.
