Kamboj dents MI’s finish

Anshul Kamboj’s hard-length burst at the death was the hinge that let Chennai Super Kings chase with comfort. Mumbai Indians were well set after Naman Dhir’s counterpunch, but Kamboj’s 3/32 ensured they never got the late surge that turns 160 into 175. CSK then rode a calm, two-man chase to win by eight wickets with 11 balls left, even after an early wobble had briefly opened the door.

Middle overs seal the chase

The match swung most clearly in CSK’s middle overs with the bat. After the powerplay ended 62/2, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Kartik Sharma refused to let MI’s spinners and cutters dictate terms, adding a decisive 98-run stand. CSK’s middle phase read 76/0 at 7.6 an over — not explosive, but relentlessly low-risk — and it meant the asking rate never climbed. By the time the last five overs arrived, the chase was a formality rather than a scramble.

Gaikwad and Kartik finish

Gaikwad’s 67 off 48 was the chase’s anchor, paced to keep boundaries arriving without gifting chances, while Kartik’s 54 off 40 provided the second-gear acceleration that prevented MI from resetting fields. For MI, Dhir’s 57 off 37 was the innings’ spark, especially as wickets fell around him, but Noor Ahmad’s 2/26 and Overton’s 1/23 kept the scoring lanes narrow. Kamboj then closed the loop with the key overs that left MI short by a handful.

Pre-match edges show up

The build-up suggested CSK had the steadier overall profile, and that played out in the phases that matter most: control after the powerplay and a cleaner finish with the ball. MI’s pre-tournament strength has often been about squeezing early, but CSK matched them in the first six and then out-executed them through overs 7–15, where MI slipped to 67/3. The bookmakers’ lean toward MI needed a bigger top-order statement; instead, CSK’s experience in these matchups showed in calmer decision-making under par-score pressure.
