INNINGS OVER — DC 155/7
155/7. A total that asks questions but does not answer them — CSK will fancy this chase, but cricket has a way of humbling confidence. Rizvi's 40 off 24 (SR 167) was the innings that held everything together, with Stubbs (38 off 31) providing the support act. The bowling was a collective effort — Ahmad (2/22 in 3 ov), Overton (1/5 in 1 ov), Hosein (1/19 in 4 ov) all contributed. The middle-overs squeeze did the damage — 3 wickets between overs 7 and 15 sucked the momentum out of the innings. CSK need 156 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.

If the set batsmen survive the death, 130+ is on the cards.
