The Titans had trouble getting going and ended up with a small score on another humid afternoon pitch. Gill was out for a duck, but Saha had fun with a 37-ball 47 that gave the team momentum and let Hardik settle in.
The Titans were cruising at 71 for 1 at the midway point, anticipating a score of 150 or more, but they were pulled back in the second part of the innings. The Titans were effectively strangled by Krunal, Mishra, Naveen-ul-Haq, and Stoinis’s deployment of variation in pace. Hardik Pandya could manage one 19 runs over. LSG probably won’t be too concerned about a score of 136 on their home pitch, but the Titans do have some good bowlers.

KLoL gave a full over to Bishnoi when he was getting bashed and in the previous match when he was doing good he gave only 2-3 overs. 🤡
