Texas Super Kings (TEX) lock horns with MI New York (NY) in match No. 7 of the Major League Cricket (MLC) 2026 at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas on Monday, June 22.

Faf du Plessis' Texas Super Kings started their campaign with a comfortable six-wicket win against Seattle Orcas, chasing down a 221-run target with nine balls to spare.
