MI New York’s Season So Far
MI New York have had a tough run in this MLC season, managing just two wins from their eight games. Interestingly, one of those wins came against their next opponent — the Los Angeles Knight Riders — where they chased down a target of 155 with ease, winning by eight wickets.
Monank Patel has been the standout performer with the bat, scoring 349 runs in eight innings at an impressive average of 43.62 and a strike rate of 154.42. At the top of the order, Quinton de Kock has also contributed steadily with 257 runs, striking at 142.77.
Nicholas Pooran’s return to form has been a major boost. He’s delivered match-winning knocks of 108* off 60 balls and 62* off 47 in his last three matches, reaffirming his status as MI’s most dangerous batter.
Veterans Michael Bracewell and Kieron Pollard have shown flashes of brilliance in recent games. Both are capable of swinging the momentum in a few overs, and MI will hope they can deliver consistently.
However, bowling has been MI New York’s Achilles heel. While Trent Boult has been effective with 11 wickets and regular early breakthroughs, the rest of the attack has struggled for control. Sunny Patel and Ehsan Adil have chipped in with 10 wickets between them, but Ehsan’s economy of nearly 11 runs per over has been costly. This lack of control has made it hard for the team to build pressure during crucial phases.
Los Angeles Knight Riders’ Struggles
The Los Angeles Knight Riders have endured a dismal season, sitting at the bottom of the table with just one win from eight matches.
Their campaign has been plagued by inconsistency — the batting hasn’t clicked, and the bowlers haven’t been able to contain runs effectively.
Unmukt Chand has been one of the few bright spots, scoring 243 runs at an average of 34.71 and a strike rate of 125.25. Saif Badar and Andre Fletcher have had a few decent starts, but the team will be hoping they can turn those into match-defining scores.
Sherfane Rutherford provided a rare highlight in the previous game, smashing 86 off just 44 balls after the Knight Riders had slumped to 66 for 4. As one of their most experienced players, he’ll need to step up more consistently.
In the bowling department, Andre Russell leads the charts with 10 wickets but has been expensive, going at nearly 10 runs an over. Shadley van Schalkwyk and Jason Holder have taken 14 wickets between them, though they too have struggled with economy. Sunil Narine has kept things tight but hasn’t picked up many wickets — a major factor in the team’s underwhelming campaign.
