Point of View
Partnerships in the 14th-to-18th-over window routinely decide outcomes more than top-order fireworks. Tezpur's 156 was competitive on this ground, and Malakar's 3/36 showed they have death-bowling teeth. The real question for the Titans is whether their top order — reliant on Haque's solidity and Deka's aggression — has the depth to post 170-plus when conditions demand it.
