Texas Super Kings vs MI New York Match Highlights
Faf’s Fiery Century, Ferreira’s Blitz Power TEX to 223
Texas Super Kings were sent in to bat after MI New York won the toss and chose to bowl first.

In the meantime, Saiteja Mukkamalla 25 off 18, Marcus Stoinis 25 off 22, and Donovan Ferreira, who struck 53 off a mere 20 balls, laced with five sixes, gave their team good support to drive Texas Super Kings to an imposing total of 223 for 4 in 20 overs.
Pollard Fights Lone Battle as TSK Bowlers Seal Big Win
In the replay, MI New York, with a Herculean chase ahead of them, started well but couldn’t keep up the pace. Quinton de Kock 35 off 25 and Kieron Pollard 70 off 39 showed intent, but wickets went down at key moments. Nicholas Pooran and Monank Patel were cheaply dismissed, and a triple whammy by Akeal Hosein 3 wickets for 15 decapitated the middle order. Nandre Burger and Marcus Stoinis took two wickets each and put more pressure on MI New York.
In the face of Pollard’s courageous attack that produced 5 fours and 5 sixes, the absence of significant partnerships caused the chase to go awry. The last overs witnessed a sea of wickets tumbling, with MI New York managing only 184 for 9. Texas fielding was keen, with two catches by Ferreira and Smit Patel run out.
This all-round win, besides highlighting TSK’s batting strength and bowling strength, also assured their credentials as title contenders. With Faf du Plessis in unassailable form, Texas Super Kings will enter the playoffs with confidence and momentum.
