MLC 2025: Chaos in MINY vs TKS as Trent Boult departs in comical fashion; watch video
Major League Cricket had a record-setting start on Thursday courtesy Finn Allen's 51-ball 151 runs. A day later, the thrill factor remained as Texas Super Kings beat MI New York with edge-of-the-seat stuff at the Oakland Coliseum. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now MI New York, chasing a target of 186, seemed on the brink of defeat multiple times. They staged a fierce comeback, lost momentum again, found their footing, but ultimately fell just three runs short. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. Daryll Mitchell bowled the decisive final over as MINY needed nine runs to win and eight to force a Super Over. Mitchell's precise yorkers and slower balls kept the ninth-wicket pair of Tajinder Singh and Naveen-ul-Haq to only five runs. Besides Mitchell, MINY's own mistakes led to their downfall with three run outs in the space of 11 balls with , Monank Patel and going back one after another. Boult's run created plenty of laughs for its comical factor as he and Tajinder Dhillon got their communication wrong while trying to steal a two. On the third of the 19th over, Adam Milne bowled a back of a length delivery to Dhillon who played it past short third man where it was collected by Mohsin. But in the process of trying to snatch a quick double, Boult lost his bat at the striker's end. Subsequently, a yes and no situation meant they were never confirmed for a second run. By the time the throw arrived at the striker's end, Boult was off the crease and desperately tried to scramble back, to no avail. That was one of the key moments late in the contest as MINY needed 27 runs from 20 balls and were primed to beat TSK. The chase itself got off to a rocky start for MI New York, slumping to 32/3 after the powerplay. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now While 186 wasn't a massive total, losing key Quinton de Kock, Nicholas Pooran, and Agni Chopra so early was a serious setback, thanks to the bowling of Adam Milne and Noor Ahmad. To rebuild the innings, Monank Patel at No. 3 and Michael Bracewell, formerly the team's standout bowler, took charge. They first focused on stabilising the innings. Between Pooran's dismissal and the end of the seventh over, only one boundary—a four from Bracewell—was scored. Then came a burst of scoring, with sets of 11, 16, 15, 14, and 17 runs in five consecutive overs, leveling the game with 76 needed from 48 balls. By this point, Monank had reached his half-century off 33 balls, and Bracewell seemed poised to join him. However, the reintroduction of Milne brought a pivotal moment, but it was really Faf du Plessis who grabbed the spotlight by taking a spectacular one-handed catch at wide mid-off to dismiss Bracewell.

Kieron Pollard, who had scored an aggressive 38 and was replaced as captain by Pooran, launched 4, 6, 4, and 4 off the gentle pace of Mitchell, narrowing the target to 27 needed from 20 balls. Then came Mitchell's lightning quick throw after a sprint to midwicket, running out Pollard and Monank on successive deliveries. That shift dramatically swung momentum towards Texas Super Kings. In the final overs, just three fours were scored, two more wickets fell, and Mitchell's last over, which could have ended the game with one big hit, conceded a mere three runs plus a bye and a leg-bye. Earlier, Texas Super Kings looked unlikely to reach a competitive total until midway through their innings. Devon Conway was steady on 36 runs but had taken 26 deliveries, and three wickets had fallen at the other end. By the 12th over, five wickets were down, and Conway was still only on 38 runs from 28 balls. T hen things changed rapidly. Calvin Savage, a former South Africa Under-19 player now representing the USA, joined Conway and began to assert himself with the bat. The 13th over started with a four from Savage off Bracewell, who had already taken two of the five wickets fallen, and Conway followed up with his fourth six two balls later. The pace was controlled but effective, pushing Super Kings to 140 by the 16th over. Sixes came easier than fours as Conway and Savage launched several powerful shots. Their partnership amassed 79 before Conway, who reached his half-century off 35 balls, was unfortunate to be run out for 66 off 44 balls. Savage reached his fifty unbeaten from 34 balls as the innings closed, the two combining to smash nine sixes in total. Super Kings totaled 110 runs in boundaries, while MI New York matched with 114. Both teams had a dot-ball rate of 33%, highlighting how evenly matched the contest was, with the final outcome decided by composure and clutch moments.

(Sportzpics) Faf du Plessis took a stunning catch to dismiss Michael Bracewell in the second match of the Major League Cricket (MLC) on Friday evening at the Oakland Coliseum.

After Adam Milne delivered a slower back of a length delivery, Bracewell flat-batted the ball with decent power.
