Super Kings vs MI is always a spiced-up battle, whether it’s in the IPL, SA20, or MLC. The two big franchises are all set to collide in match 2 of Major League Cricket 2025. MI New York and Texas Super Kings will be going on a collision course at the Oakland Coliseum in California.
The MI New York would have a bitter memory from the last season when they were outclassed by Faf du Plessis’ blazing knock in the Eliminator. Texas Super Kings, riding on a blistering knock from their skipper, made it to the second qualifier by defeating MI New York by 9 wickets and ensuring their exit. The wounds from last season would be fresh; therefore, Nicholas Pooran and his men would be eager to retaliate with a big win in their opening encounter of this season.
As far as the Texas Super Kings are concerned, they would be hoping for a much better show than last season, when they could only manage 2 wins out of 7 in the league stage but were lucky enough to make it through the playoffs. Led by the experienced Faf du Plessis, TEX would be looking for an improved show this season.
