MLC 2024: Match 1, NY vs SEA Match Prediction – Who will win today’s MLC match between NY vs SEA?

Defending champions MI New York (NY) will host 2023 finalists Seattle Orcas (SEA) in the opening game of the Major League Cricket 2024. The Kieron Pollard-led side had a very rough time in the league stage of last year but they changed things quickly, dominating the latter half of the tournament.

They have some of the fiercest strikers of the ball in Nicholas Pooran, Tim David and Steven Taylor while among bowlers, Trent Boult, Rashid Khan, Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada can dominate any attack.

When it comes to Seattle, their bowling unit is a bit concerning. Zaman Khan and Nandre Burger are two exciting options but it may prove difficult for them to stop New York’s juggernaut. Among batters, Aaron Jones, Quinton de Kock and Heinrich Klaasen will be extremely vital. Pakistan’s Imad Wasim can be crucial on the slow pitches of the US too.

Match Details 

Pitch Report:

It’s a decent track. Bowling first will help and anything over 175 runs will be a good score on the surface.

Probable Best Bowler: Rashid Khan

Like Pooran, Rashid was incredible in the T20 World Cup. He was one of the forces to reckon with, with the ball for Afghanistan and given his form, the spinner can prove to be dangerous.
