We were good from the batting perspective in the last game. From a batting perspective, it was clinical. We had more bowling options. Stoinis had some finger injury. The batters never got used to a plan or a bowler. Mentally, it is very important. You need to keep working hard every day. The game keeps evolving. Strike-rate is one of the things I have worked upon. You have to evolve. You have to score at above 140 these days as an opener. The game keeps you humble. I still love being around and on the field. The tournament is set up nicely. I look at the overseas players and feel it is up there with international cricket or the IPL. There are 6 international stars compared to the 4 that is there in other leagues. It is a well structured league. Mohsin has been my main weapon. Leg spinners usually have their tails up,&#8221; said Super Kings captain <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/faf-du-plessis\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" frmappuse=\"1\">Faf du Plessis<\/a> after the match.<\/p>\n<p>After winning the toss, the Super Kings bowled out the Unicorns for a below-par 127 in 17.5 overs, with spinner <!-- -->Mohammad Mohsin<!-- --> taking four wickets. <br \/>Skipper Faf du Plessis (34 off 17 balls) and <!-- -->Devon Conway<!-- --> (32 off 19) then set a solid foundation for the chase with a 61-run opening partnership in just 4.5 overs. The Super Kings chased down the target in just 12.5 overs, with seven wickets in hand. Aaron Hardie also made a significant contribution, scoring 34 off 23 balls.<br \/>Earlier in the match, Mohsin and <!-- -->Dwayne Bravo<!-- --> (2 for 20) dismantled the Unicorns&#8217; middle and lower order. Matthew Short was the top-scorer for the Unicorns with 33 off 15 balls, in what was otherwise a dismal batting performance.<br \/>Mohsin finished with impressive figures of 4 for 13 in 3.5 overs, earning him the &#8216;Player of the Match&#8217; award.<br \/>&#8220;The fast bowlers set the tone for us. Always nice to get wickets. We just kept it simple. We bowled stump to stump. Nice to contribute to the team&#8217;s win. It is giving me more confidence being a local. The presence of international stars helps us. Last year, we had Imran Tahir and I learnt a lot from him,&#8221; Mohsin said after the victory.<\/div>\n<p><script>\nvar _mfq = window._mfq || [];\n_mfq.push([\"setVariable\", \"toi_titan\", window.location.href]);\n!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };\n    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };\n    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')\n      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed){\n        (function(w) {\n         function setAttributes() {\n                    var prime_user_status = window.isPrime ?
