The match was reduced to 19 overs per side due to rain interruptions. MI posted a total of 155/8, with Suryakumar Yadav leading the charge with a quickfire 48 runs off 28 balls. However, the Titans' bowlers, including Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj, kept the scoring in check, taking two wickets each and restricting MI's progress.

In response, GT's chase was equally challenging. Despite a valiant effort, they managed to reach 147/7 in 19 overs, just surpassing the DLS-revised target. The rain-affected match added an extra layer of drama, with the Titans clinching victory in the final moments

  • DLS Method Drama: The rain delays and subsequent DLS adjustments created uncertainty, making the chase more challenging for GT, who had to adapt swiftly to the revised target.

  • Final Over Nerves: The match concluded in a nail-biting finish, with GT managing to edge past MI's total in the last over, highlighting the unpredictable nature of rain-impacted matches.
