Texas Super Kings and MI New York will be facing off in the high-stakes battle of the ongoing Major League Cricket on Saturday at Grand Prairie Stadium, Dallas. MI New York qualified for the Challenger after blowing away San Francisco Unicorns in the Eliminator. Their openers Monank Patel and Quinton De Kock, who gave the side a blazing start in their chase of 132, slammed 33 runs each to help the side go over the line in 19.3 overs.
Texas Super Kings are also in fine form, banking on the red-hot form of Faf du Plessis, Shubham Ranjane and Marcus Stoinis. Faf du Plessis remains the highest run-scorer in the tournament with 409 runs. Meanwhile, MI New York also possess some of the biggest hitters of the game in Nicholas Pooran, Kieron Pollard and Michael Bracewell, as they are well capable of swinging the game in MI’s favour. The winner of this contest will qualify for the final where Washington Freedom are already sitting.
