Led by Nicholas Pooran, MI New York have played exceedingly well in the ongoing Major League Cricket 2023 and have qualified for the playoffs. They initially beat Washington Freedom in the Eliminator and have now booked their place in the finals versus Seattle Orcas.
Trent Boult once again breathed fire with the ball and showed everyone as to why he is an absolute beast in this format of the game. Batting first, Texas Super Kings managed to put up only 158 runs on the board.
Devon Conway top-scored with a knock of 38 runs and Milind Kumar scored 37 runs in the middle-order.
Trent Boult was at his fiery best as he picked up 4 wickets and conceded only 24 runs. His wicket tally in the ongoing Major League Cricket 2023 has now gone up to 19 wickets.
Tim David too performed well with the ball as he picked up 2 wickets. Even though he was quite expensive in his 1 over, he picked up the wicket of the dangerous and explosive batter David Miller.
MI New York chased down the total quite comfortably

Dewald Brevis had bagged the player of the match in the previous game and he continued his good form in this game too as he scored 41* runs in just 33 deliveries.
For Texas Super Kings, Daniel Sams, Rusty Theron, Calvin Savage and Mohsin Mohammad took 1 wicket. Even though Faf Du Plessis and co. took the game till the last over, they couldn’t really win it for their side.
