Starc returned for the 19th and started with drama- five wides! A wayward delivery down leg that beat everyone, including the keeper, sending the crowd into a frenzy and briefly lifting CSK spirits.
Dhoni followed with a drive to long-on for a single, then Shankar thumped a much-needed boundary. A few singles followed as both batters tried to keep the scoreboard ticking, but they couldn't find the big over CSK desperately needed. A dot ball to end summed up the innings-rusty and lacking rhythm.13 runs came off the over, but not in the manner CSK would've wanted.
After 19 overs, they're 143 for 5, and now need 41 from the final over. The target is well out of reach barring something truly extraordinary.
