Pooran-Curran steady the chase

Nicholas Pooran’s calm counterpunch, followed by Sam Curran’s busy, low-risk hitting, turned a potentially awkward pursuit into a controlled finish as MI London chased down 161 to beat London Spirit by four wickets with an over to spare. Spirit had moments of hope when wickets fell late, but MI London’s set batters ensured the asking rate never spiked into panic territory.

Middle overs choke Spirit

The game pivoted in Spirit’s middle overs, where momentum leaked after a fast start. From 37/1 in the powerplay, they managed only 81/4 through the middle phase at 6.8 an over, repeatedly failing to convert starts into a platform. Nathan Sowter’s 2 for 29 was the tone-setter: he kept lengths tight and forced risk, and the wickets meant Spirit couldn’t fully cash in until the death overs, where 42 without loss lifted them to 160/5.

Pretorius shines, Sowter lands punches

Lhuan-dre Pretorius was Spirit’s standout, blasting 52 off 28 to give them a score worth defending and earning MVP honours. But MI London had answers: Sowter’s control in the middle overs created the only prolonged quiet period of the innings, and Pooran’s 39 off 25 stitched the chase together. Curran’s 33 off 23 then ensured MI London finished the job even as Jamie Overton’s 2 for 23 briefly tightened the screws late.

Numbers favoured MI London

Pre-match, MI London’s stronger season profile and recent form suggested they’d handle a chase if they avoided a powerplay blowout. That’s exactly how it played: a modest 33/1 up front didn’t win it, but it prevented Spirit from dictating terms. Once MI London got through the early movement, their deeper batting allowed them to keep scoring at 8-plus in the middle (99/2), absorbing brief pressure rather than letting it snowball.
