MLC 2025: Match 2, NY vs TEX Match Prediction – Who will win today’s MLC match between NY vs TEX?

MI New York (NY) locks horns with Texas Super Kings (TEX) in the 2nd Match of the ongoing Major League Cricket (MLC) 2025 at the Oakland Coliseum in California on Saturday, June 14.

Notably, these two sides played the Eliminator clash in the 2024 season, which the Faf du Plessis-led side won by nine wickets. In the previous edition, the New York-based franchise finished fourth in the points table after an underwhelming season, as they could win just two games out of seven. With a new skipper in Nicholas Pooran, the side will look for a change in their fortunes. 

Meanwhile, the Super Kings had a relatively decent season, as they secured the third spot on the table at the end of the group stage, winning three out of their seven games played. However, their journey ended after suffering a defeat in the Challenger clash against the San Francisco Unicorns.

Probable Best Batter of the Match - Nicholas Pooran

Nicholas Pooran could be the best batter in the upcoming game against the Texas Super Kings. The left-handed batter who finished as the highest run-getter for the side in the previous edition with 180 runs in seven games is all set to continue his fine form in the upcoming edition of MLC. With him now being given the captaincy of the side, Pooran will have added pressure to perform, and he will look to thrive under it.

Probable Best Bowler of the Match - Noor Ahmad

Noor Ahmad could be the best bowler in the upcoming game against MI New York. The Afghanistan spinner is currently in red-hot form and is coming off an exceptional IPL season with the Chennai Super Kings. In the 2024 edition, he bagged nine wickets in four games at an economy of 7.56. Noor's performance with the ball will be crucial in the coming game for the Texas-based side.
