What to expect:
Yet another hot evening and uneven square boundary dimensions. Both the teams will have to learn and adapt on the go on Friday, having not played a game at this venue this season. Last year, they each beat PBKS here.


Head to head:
GT 5 - 2 MI. The Titans have done the double over MI this season, and have won each of their last four encounters, including the second qualifier of 2023.

a chance and Coetzee has dropped a sitter, went very high and hew had plenty of time to get under it, kept his eyes under and then let the ball burst out of his palms, back of a length and at the stumps, Rohit was swivelling across on the pull, hit it very high and behind square on the on-side, 99 times out of 100, Coetzee would've gobbled it up, but he lets Rohit off the hook tonight

Kusal Mendis puts it down now. It's not been a great start from the Titans. Was a short of a good length outside off, Rohit cleared his front leg on the slog, gets a thick edge and it went to the keeper's right - Kusal Mendis moved across, goth both gloves, but it popped out. In panic he tried to grab it on the second attempt but he's not well placed and down goes the chance

Sai Kishore to Bairstow, out Caught by Gerald Coetzee!! A tag catch and the Titans have struck finally, credit to Sai Sudharsan, but it'll go down as a catch for Coetzee. Acrobatic effort from the orange cap holder - dived across to his left, but the ball was still going high, so he plucks it one-handed and tips it over the bar, straight into the hands of Coetzee at short third. On replay - this is subnlime from Sai, he not just dived, but had the sense to pluck his right hand out and palm it into the path of Coetzee.

Rashid Khan to Rohit, SIX Rohit is playing a gem here, he's sweeping the spinners into frustration - tossed up on off, he bends down low, gets under the ball and then places it high over square leg, has enough to clear the ropes on the maximum

Sai Kishore to Rohit, FOUR, smashed, dragged short by Sai Kishore - Rohit picks the length early, stays back and then whips the pull through mid-wicket, bisects the two fielders in the deep to a nicelty. MI are going well and in sight of easily going past 200

Rashid Khan to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, Rashid Khan is down on his knee. He can't believe how has that missed the stumps? This was pitched up by the spinner and Suryakumar Yadav was down on his knee to play the sweep, gets an underedge past the leg-stump and the keeper fails to grab it

11.2
Gerald Coetzee to Suryakumar Yadav, SIX, that's gone all the way! A short and quick ball by Gerald Coetzee, well directed bouncer but Suryakumar Yadav picks it well. Sends it sailing over fine leg for half-a-dozen

Gerald Coetzee to Suryakumar Yadav, 1 run, dropped! Mendis has put down another catch. He dropped Rohit earlier in the evening. This was a short of a length delivery outside off, Suryakumar Yadav has a poke and gets an outside edge. The keeper flies to his right and gets his gloves to it, but fails to latch on to it. Can't afford to drop someone like Suryakumar Yadav. He can hurt you!

Sai Kishore to Suryakumar Yadav, SIX, that's gone into the stands. Suryakumar Yadav advances down the wicket and launches it over long-off for half-a-dozen. Moves into the 30s. Sai Kishore proving to be expensive tonight. Has picked a wicket, but has given away too many runs and conceded a lot of boundaries

Sai Kishore to Suryakumar Yadav, out Caught by Washington Sundar!! Sai Kishore finishes off his spell with a wicket. That too an important one. A low full toss around middle and leg, Suryakumar Yadav goes down on his knee to play the sweep and he goes aerial.
