MLC 2024, NY vs TEX: Team Previews

MI New York

MI New York launched their title-defense with a six-wicket win over Seattle Orcas in the opening match of the 2024 MLC season on July 5. The following day, they lost to Washington Freedom by four runs in a rain-affected thriller at Morrisville. With a win and a defeat from two fixtures, the MI New York franchise is placed at number three on the MLC 2024 points table, finding themselves above LAKR, San Francisco Unicorns and Seattle Orcas owing to a higher NRR.

For the MI New York, wicketkeeper Nicholas Pooran has emerged as their most prolific batter of the season, having tallied over 100 runs from just two innings with a strike-rate of 158.20. Among the bowlers, overseas star Trent Boult will start out as one of the key figures alongside Afghanistan’s spin wizard Rashid Khan.

Texas Super Kings

After crashing to a 12-run defeat against Los Angeles Knight Riders, the Texas Super Kings incurred a rain-affected no-result against Washington Freedom. Under the leadership of Faf du Plessis, they subsequently blanked San Francisco Unicorns by seven wickets to register their first win of the MLC 2024 season.

Captain Faf du Plessis and his opening partner Devon Conway have emerged as the leading run-scorers so far this tournament, and will start out as two of the players to watch out for when Texas Super Kings takes on the MI New York at Morrisville. Meanwhile, USA stars Mohammad Mohsin and Zia-ul-Haq have led TSK’s bowling charge this season by chipping in with key wickets at critical junctures.

MLC 2024, NY vs TEX: Church Street Park Pitch Report

The playing surface at the Church Street Park seems to be offering considerable assistance to spinners off late, with something on offer for the fast bowlers as well. Barring a high-scoring evening between Texas Super Kings and Washington Freedom, each MLC fixture held here this season has turned out to be a low-scoring affair. The average first innings total at the venue after four MLC 2024 matches has emerged in the range of 145 to 150. The captain winning the toss will likely opt to field first, considering the chasing teams have won each time this season.
