Southern Brave crumbled in Dharamsala, posting a meager 129/9. Despite a masterclass from Marcus Stoinis, who snatched 3/17, MI London cruised to a six-wicket victory.

The Issue: Fragile batting partnerships. The Spark: Stoinis dominated with the ball.

The Verdict: Brave must overhaul their top-order strategy immediately to survive. Can they pivot before their next high-stakes clash?
