Point of View
Home advantage, and a head-to-head edge. Sunrisers have the momentum of a turnaround (six of seven), but their second-place perch masks inconsistency earlier. Gill's batting form and Rabada's bowling will be the Titans' anchors; if Cummins's side can replicate their recent intensity, they could upset the narrative. The outcome will ripple through the playoff race.
