MINY vs TSKS Match Preview
Achieving a balanced Dream11 team involves selecting batters who can dominate bowling line-ups and bowlers who can take important wickets. All-rounders will be crucial, making contributions on multiple fronts.
Wicketkeeper-batter Nicholas Pooran will want to go all-out attack in the middle-order for MI New York if given the batting platform to do so. An example of his batting explosiveness came in the IPL when he scored 75 off 29 for Lucknow Super Giants against Mumbai Indians.
Rashid Khan remains one of the undroppable players in MI New York's team. He is currently their highest wicket-taker and second-highest run-scorer in 2024.
Trent Boult has previous experience of starring with the ball in knockout T20 cricket. Earlier this year, he took three wickets for Rajasthan Royals against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL's Qualifier Two.
Noor Ahmad has had a breakthrough year in his T20 career. He achieved his best T20 bowling figures of five for 11 playing for Durban's Super Giants against Paarl Royals.
Australian batting all-rounder Marcus Stoinis will bring the complete T20 package to Texas Super Kings With clean hitting in the middle overs, the ability to pick up a couple of crucial wickets and a safe pair of hands in the field. Stoinis could be a match-winner to look out for.
Weather Report
Temperatures will be hot and humid. Rain is highly unlikely at only four percent. The overhead conditions will be partly cloudy.
Pitch Report
The dew on the outfield and on the pitch should help the batters in their run-scoring. It may be difficult for the bowling side to grip the ball at times.
Notable stats
The advantage of chasing
Texas Super Kings have won games batting first and second, however, MI New York have only won their games this season by chasing.
Team News
Texas Super Kings' game against the Seattle Orcas would have been their last opportunity to experiment. They will want to put out a full-strength side in the Eliminator against MI New York. Rushal Ugarkar could lose his MI New York spot after a T20 debut in the previous game. MI New York may prefer to have the experience of Ehsan Adil.
