End of innings
SRH 194/9 (20 ov)
194 on the board. SRH have set a massive target — the kind that changes body language in the dressing room. Klaasen's 60 off 40 (SR 150) was the innings that held everything together, with Sharma (58 off 21) providing the support act. The bowling was a collective effort — Kamboj (3/20 in 2.5 ov), Overton (3/37 in 4.1 ov), Choudhary (2/23 in 2.1 ov) all contributed. The death overs were the story — 4 wickets fell as SRH tried to accelerate, and what looked like 214+ became 194. CSK need 195 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.
2 wickets in the over! Just 7 off it. CSK seizing control.

End of innings
SRH 194/9 (20 ov)
194 on the board. SRH have set a massive target — the kind that changes body language in the dressing room. Klaasen's 60 off 40 (SR 150) was the innings that held everything together, with Sharma (58 off 21) providing the support act. The bowling was a collective effort — Kamboj (3/20 in 2.5 ov), Overton (3/37 in 4.1 ov), Choudhary (2/23 in 2.1 ov) all contributed. The death overs were the story — 4 wickets fell as SRH tried to accelerate, and what looked like 214+ became 194. CSK need 195 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.
2 wickets in the over! Just 7 off it. CSK seizing control.
