225 on the board. RR have set a massive target — the kind that changes body language in the dressing room. Parag's 90 off 50 (SR 180) was the innings that held everything together, with Ferreira (47 off 14) providing the support act. The bowling was a collective effort — Starc (3/39 in 4.2 ov), Patel (1/39 in 4 ov), Jamieson (1/48 in 4 ov) all contributed. The death overs were the story — 3 wickets fell as RR tried to accelerate, and what looked like 245+ became 225. DC need 226 to win. 226 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.

225 on the board. RR have set a massive target — the kind that changes body language in the dressing room. Parag's 90 off 50 (SR 180) was the innings that held everything together, with Ferreira (47 off 14) providing the support act. The bowling was a collective effort — Starc (3/39 in 4.2 ov), Patel (1/39 in 4 ov), Jamieson (1/48 in 4 ov) all contributed. The death overs were the story — 3 wickets fell as RR tried to accelerate, and what looked like 245+ became 225. DC need 226 to win. 226 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.
