Dismissal at a Crucial Juncture
In the 18th over, with MI at 180 for 5, Suryakumar looked to accelerate further. Facing Avesh Khan, he attempted to loft a wide, full delivery over extra cover but mistimed it badly.
The ball landed straight in the hands of Mitchell Marsh, stationed at extra cover, ending a brilliant knock. SKY stood at the crease momentarily, stunned by the dismissal, knowing the significance of his wicket at the death.
