The Qualifier 2 of Major Cricket League (MLC) 2025, promises an exciting showdown as Texas Super Kings (TEX) face MI New York (NY), with a place in the final at stake.
Texas impressed throughout the tournament with their balanced squad and tactical approach. Led by Faf du Plessis, the team combines experienced international players like Noor Ahmad and Marcus Stoinis, who have consistently contributed with both bat and ball. Their ability to adapt under pressure has been a key factor in their success so far.
New York, on the other hand, boasts a powerful lineup featuring explosive batsmen such as Quinton de Kock and Nicholas Pooran. Their bowling attack, anchored by Trent Boult, has been effective in restricting opponents. MI’s sudden rise in the tournament after a dismal start to the campaign showcased the side’s true prowess in the shortest format of the game.

Grand Prairie Stadium Pitch Report:
The pitch at Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas is generally known for being batting-friendly, offering good pace and bounce that allows batters to play their shots freely. Early on, the surface tends to favour stroke-makers, with the ball coming nicely onto the bat. However, as the game progresses, spinners and seamers with clever variations can find some assistance, especially during the middle overs when the pitch can slow down slightly. Teams winning the toss often prefer to bat first and put runs on the board, as chasing under lights can bring the bowlers into play with some extra movement and grip. Overall, fans can expect a high-scoring contest, but bowlers who adapt quickly to the conditions could still make a significant impact.
