MLC 2025 Qualifier 2, TSK vs MINY: What to Expect?
The Texas Super Kings enter this Challenger match after a strong league phase, where they finished second on the points table. The team has shown remarkable consistency, with captain Faf du Plessis leading from the front as the top run-scorer. The bowling attack has also been formidable, highlighted by Adam Milne’s recent five-wicket haul, which showcases the ability to dismantle opposition lineups. They’ve proven capable of both setting formidable totals and successfully chasing them down.
MI New York, on the other hand, comes into this match having secured their spot in the Challenger by winning a thrilling Eliminator against San Francisco Unicorns. Their recent victory, where Trent Boult starred with both bat and ball to guide them through a tricky chase, demonstrates their fighting spirit and ability to perform under pressure. While they finished fourth in the league, their knockout performance indicates they are a dangerous side. Key players like Nicholas Pooran, Quinton de Kock, and the ever-reliable Trent Boult will be central to their strategy.
Looking at the head-to-head record in MLC 2025, the Texas Super Kings have had the upper hand against MI New York. We have beaten them in both of our league stage encounters. The first match was a narrow 3-run victory, while the second saw us secure a more comfortable 39-run win where Faf du Plessis scored a century. While history favors us, MI New York’s recent Eliminator win shows they’ve found form at the right time.
