In Taylor's second over, Du Plessis hit a towering six over the long-on boundary, showcasing one of his most aesthetically pleasing shots of the match by creating space and driving the ball to his strong zone.

Following Faf and Conway’s explosive batting, Marcus Stoinis provided the finishing touch, helping TSK surpass the 175-run mark.

For MINY, Rashid Khan delivered an economical spell, finishing with figures of 1 for 17 in four overs.

MINY struggled in their chase for 177, with Nicholas Pooran falling cheaply and captain Pollard managing only 5 runs off 17 balls. 

However, T20 World Cup hero and USA captain, Monank Patel, along with Rashid Khan, mounted a late challenge that made the game thrilling. Ultimately, MINY fell short by 16 runs, with Rashid Khan being named Man of the Match.

That win keeps Texas Super Kings in second place, now with a 3-point lead over the teams below them. MI New York remains in third and has three games left to secure a playoff spot.
