Put in to bat, Mitchell Marsh slammed his maiden IPL century (117), Nicholas Pooran scored an unbeaten 56 off just 27 balls, along with contributions from Aiden Markram (36) and skipper Pant (16 not out) to help us post a mammoth 235/2 in our 20 overs.
Later, our bowlers picked up wickets at regular intervals to restrict the Titans to 202/9 in their allotted overs.
With a match-winning spell of 3/27, Will O'Rourke was our wrecker-in-chief, while Avesh Khan and Ayush Badoni bagged two scalps apiece.
Having accumulated 12 points from 13 games, a victory over RCB will confirm a sixth-place finish for us on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Marsh, Pooran and Aiden Markram became the first overseas trio to accumulate 400+ runs in an IPL season for a team.
Marsh has been our leading run-scorer in IPL 2025 with 560 runs in 12 games at an average of 46.67 and a strike rate of 161.84. He has recorded one century and five fifties this season.
