In another crucial mid-season clash between SEA and NY, both sides look to bounce back from poor form. SEA, still searching for their first win of MLC 2025, have struggled across departments, especially with the bat. NY, who won one of their five games so far, have been let down by their inconsistent bowling.
From a fantasy perspective, the surface has favoured batters initially, so it is advisable to select more NY players if they bat first. SEA has been struggling badly with the bat but might find some rhythm against an out of form NY bowling if they get to bat first.
