MI New York vs Texas Super Kings match prediction, MLC 2025: Who will win between NY vs TEX in California?
MI New York (NY) will embark on a fresh journey under new captain Nicholas Pooran when they take on Texas Super Kings (TEX) in the second match of the Major League Cricket (MLC) at the Oakland Coliseum in California on Friday (June 13).
Both MI New York and Texas Super Kings didn't had the best of the campaigns last year and would like to change their fortunes this season. While Texas Super Kings finished third on the points table with just three wins from seven games, MI New York finished a place below with just two wins in their kitty from the same number of games.
MI New York were dealt with a heavy blow ahead of the season after the Afghanistan duo of Rashid Khan and Azmatullah Omarzai opted out of the tournament. However, Afghanistan pacer Naveen-ul-Haq is available for selection.
On the other hand, Texas Super Kings will be relying on their big three - Devon Conway, Faf du Plessis and Daryl Mitchell - at the top of the batting order. South African all-rounder Donovan Ferreira will be a threat to the opposition in the middle order along with Marcus Stoinis.
Among the spinners, Afghanistan's Noor Ahmad will look to continue his rich form which he showcased in the recently-concluded Indian Premier League. However, West Indies' Akeal Hosein will be unavailable at least for this game due to national duty.
Venue: Oakland Coliseum, Oakland.
Match Time: 6:30 AM IST (June 14) | 6:00 PM Local | 2:00 AM BST
MI New York: Monank Patel, Quinton de Kock (wk), Nicholas Pooran (c), Kieron Pollard, Michael Bracewell, Nosthush Kenjige, Trent Boult, Heath Richards, Tajinder Dhillon, George Linde, Ehsan Adil

All-rounders: Marcus Stoinis (VC), Darly Mitchell, Michael Bracewell

According to Gemini, both teams boast a strong line-up with some of the best power-hitters in the world cricket currently. "Given the head-to-head dominance, a balanced squad, and a strong spin attack, Texas Super Kings are often favored to win this match.
'Their ability to set or chase high totals on a batting-friendly pitch, coupled with their bowling depth, gives them an edge. However, MI New York, with the likes of Nicholas Pooran and Quinton de Kock, has the potential for explosive batting, and if they fire, they can certainly challenge the Super Kings.
'Overall, it's expected to be a high-scoring game, with Texas Super Kings having a slight advantage,' predicted Gemini.
On the other hand, Dream11 prediction said MI New York have slight advantage over Texas Super Kings. 'Both teams are good, but Texas Super Kings might lack with their bowling resources. MI New York have all bases covered in both departments. That is why we predict them to win this game,' Dream11 predictionit said.

Pakistan asked to ‘apologise' for 'disrespecting' Temba Bavuma as viral video resurfaces during WTC final
When the cricketing world was raving about Aiden Markram's superlative century and Temba Bavuma's heroic half-century with an injured hamstring in the WTC final against Australia, a section of fans slammed the Pakistan cricket team. They demanded an "apology" from the Pakistan players for "disrespecting" South Africa captain Temba Bavuma. But why? The WTC final was taking place at Lord's between South Africa and Australia. Pakistan, who are involved in no international fixture currently, had no role in it. Then why did the Pakistan cricket team become a target after Temba Bavuma and Aiden Markram stitched an unbroken third-wicket partnership to put South Africa within touching distance of their maiden WTC title? The answer lies in what transpired in Karachi in February this year. In the last league game of the tri-nation series, involving Pakistan, South Africa and New Zealand, the Pakistan players gave an ugly send-off to Temba Bavuma after the South African captain was run out due to a mix-up. In the 29th over of South Africa's innings, Bavuma, batting on 82, pushed a delivery towards the off side and set off for a quick single. Matthew Breetzke responded to the call but aborted in the final moment, leaving Bavuma stranded in the middle of the pitch. Saud Shakeel collected the ball and fired a direct throw at the striker's end. Bavuma was not even close to returning as South Africa lost their second wicket, thus ending their 119-run stand. Pakistan players were pumped after the breakthrough as Kamran Ghulam ran right in front of Bavuma to celebrate, before being joined by Shakeel and Salman Agha. The wild celebration forced Bavuma to stop on his way back to the pavilion, before the Pakistan players moved out of his way. The act did not sit well with the umpires as they immediately called Rizwan, sparking a lengthy chat. The Pakistan players were heavily criticised on social media for their unnecessary send-off to Bavuma. And it appears that the fans haven't quite moved on. The same video of Pakistan's animated celebration resurfaced four months later on Friday. Bavuma, elevating the drama with a strained left hamstring, and opener Markram capitalized on ideal batting conditions. They partnered for an unbroken 143 runs against one of Australia's greatest bowling attacks to have South Africa 69 runs from a historic triumph. Chasing 282 to win, the Proteas were 213-2 at stumps on day three in a stirring bid to win a first ICC trophy in 27 years. Bavuma was 65 not out from 121 balls, his running restricted but not his batting technique, and Markram was 102 not out from 159, easily the highest individual score of the final. Defending champion Australia bombarded them with four of its top-10 all-time test wicket-takers — more than 1,500 wickets in total — but they couldn't part the Proteas pair, and hardly troubled them. In South Africa's huge favor, the pitch on day three flattened, offered the bowlers little, and was far easier paced than the first two chaotic days, when 14 wickets fell on each. Only four wickets were taken on Friday, and none after tea. South Africa won't go to bed entirely comfortably, though. The men's team has a heartbreaking history of blowing winning positions in ICC tournaments. This is why its only ICC trophy is the ICC Knock Out from 1998.

Agni Chopra chose cricket over Bollywood, he now plays for the MI franchise
Agni Chopra , the son of popular filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Bollywood film critic Anupama Chopra , never wanted the stardom of movies and chose cricket to make a name for himself. Today he plays for MI franchise , the very team he grew up as a fanboy. Agni played for Mizoram for two years in the Indian domestic cricket due to the lack of opportunities in Mumbai's big cricket circles before getting a big break in US' Major League Cricket ( MLC ). From the maidans of Mumbai to loads of runs in Ranji Trophy Agi's journey, like any other Mumbaikar who plays cricket, began in Shivaji Park when he was just six years old. While most people thought being from an influential film family would make things easy, it was only harder for Agni. Other players and coaches thought he was just another rich kid who played cricket for leisure and would not stick to the sport. However, Agni had different dreams. To avoid standing out, he would ask his driver to park the car far away so no one would see him in his luxury. He wanted to be seen as just another boy with a bat, not a star kid with privileges. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 나눔도 당신처럼 아름답게, 유니세프 팀 팔찌 유니세프 지금 기부하기 Undo Soon, the runs started speaking for themselves. In the 2019-20 Col. C.K. Nayudu Trophy, Agni scored nearly 800 runs for Mumbai U-23. He smashed three centuries and a double ton in the tournament. He credits his coach Khushpreet Singh Aulakh, who became more like a big brother, for turning him into a tough cricketer. Sadly, things did not work out for Agni as Mumbai's Ranji team never called. An injury and a tough relationship breakup made things worse. Live Events The 26-year-old even thought of quitting cricket. But a call from Mizoram changed everything. Agni smashed four centuries in his first four First-Class games and finished the season with 939 runs. He did it again the next season too. In 11 First Class matches, the left-hander has over 1800 runs with a staggering average of 94.94. He has nine centuries and five half centuries and a highest score of an unbeaten 238. However, a rule that only Indian passport holders can play Ranji Trophy, Agni, who has an American passport, had to give up professional cricket in India. The MI dream Agni focused fully on cricket in the USA and the MLC. This year, Agni got his big break mid-air. On February 19, he boarded an Air India flight from San Francisco to Mumbai. While he was flying without Wi-Fi, the MLC draft was underway and 17 hours later, when he landed and switched his phone on, he saw a message from his mother — MI New York had picked him for $50,000. For a boy who grew up supporting Mumbai Indians , it was like a dream come true. He says days cricket is still closest to his heart, but playing in the US gives him new hope and a chance to play against top players at his peak. On Saturday, Agni made his debut for MI New York. Though he scored just five runs opening the innings, this could be a start of a new chapter in his career.

Hayden, Steyn criticise Cummins' captaincy as South Africa inch closer to WTC victory:
Former Australian opener Matthew Hayden and South African legend Dale Steyn have explained how Pat Cummins' poor captaincy allowed South Africa to take control of the WTC Final at Lord's. read more Australian captain Pat Cummins is facing criticism from former opener Matthew Hayden and South African great Dale Steyn as the Proteas have taken control of the ongoing World Test Championship (WTC) final at the Lord's. Australia were in the ascendancy after handing over a target of 282 to South Africa. They started strongly on Day 3, taking the wickets of Ryan Rickelton and Wiaan Mulder but adopted a defensive approach once captain Temba Bavuma came in to bat. Despite Bavuma struggling with a hamstring injury , Cummins deployed a spread out field setup that allowed him to put up an unbeaten 143-run partnership with Aiden Markram. South Africa are now only 69 runs away from winning the WTC final. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Hayden, Steyn slam Australia and Cummins's defensive approach Hayden wasn't happy with the defensive tactics preferred by Cummins as he blaster the captain for playing it safely. 'You know, this defensive effort here from Australia, it was all about how they were going to take wickets and how they were going to do that early,' Hayden said after Day 3. 'You know, when they got through to Mulder, they got through Rickelton, and they had to put at that point pressure on Bavuma. They had to put those catching cover areas, had to be less defensive, more attacking. Can you imagine if those first couple of balls had been chipped up? South Africa now it's three down. Australia got control of the match. So for me, that was a trick. 'The drifting of the nature of the game just allowed the rotation of strike, allowed that partnership to grow and build in confidence, and it just got away from the Australian bowling lineup. Yes, it's flat conditions, but you must take 10 wickets to defend the World Test Championship. You must take the top three out of play,' he added. Former South Africa cricketer Steyn was also surprised that Australia did not opt for close-in fielders when bowling started to become tough. 'Yeah, a little bit surprised, I think. You know, you have to adapt with the flow of the game, and obviously today, we've seen the ball has been keeping really low, it hasn't really managed to make it to the slips, even from yesterday. And, you know, whenever we used to play, I would play a place like India, your short cover, short midwicket, it doesn't matter. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'They're as good as cordon slips in South Africa or Australia or something like that. So on days like this, when the ball is not travelling and it's not making its way to the slips, you have to have those guys in those kinds of catching positions,' he said.
