5:35 AM IST EARLIER - LAKR overcame a stuttering start to post a competitive 165, recovering from the early loss of Unmukt Chad. After a sluggish Powerplay that yielded just 37 for 1, Andre Fletcher injected brief momentum with three towering sixes before falling, leaving Matthew Tromp to anchor the innings with a solid top score of 44. Rovman Powell provided a quickfire 23, but his dismissal triggered a late-order wobble, punctuated by Corbin Bosch bowling a spectacular wicket-maiden in the 17th over to dismiss a struggling Andre Russell. Just as MI New York threatened to choke the scoring, skipper Jason Holder took absolute charge of the death overs, blasting a crucial, crisp cameo of 43 before holing out in the final over to give his bowlers a fighting total to defend.
