MI New York vs Texas Super Kings Match Report : Texas Super Kings continued their impressive run in the Major League Cricket (MLC) 2026 season with a comfortable six-wicket victory over MI New York in the 10th match of the tournament. After producing a disciplined bowling performance to restrict MI New York to just 127/9, Texas chased down the target with an over to spare, finishing at 132/4 in 19 overs.

The star of the match was Donovan Ferreira, who delivered a superb all-round performance by picking up 3 wickets for 14 runs before contributing an unbeaten 18 runs during the chase. His efforts, combined with valuable knocks from Saiteja Mukkamalla (38) and *Wiaan Mulder (19)**, helped Texas secure another important win.

MI New York’s Batting Struggles Continue

After being asked to bat first, MI New York never managed to build momentum. The top order collapsed early, putting the team under pressure right from the start.

Opener Monank Patel was dismissed for just 2 runs, while Ryan Rickelton managed only 5. Wicketkeeper-batter Quinton de Kock looked promising initially but was dismissed for 20 off 18 balls, leaving MI New York struggling inside the powerplay.

The biggest disappointment came from captain Nicholas Pooran, who scored only 3 runs from 11 deliveries. Veteran all-rounder Kieron Pollard was dismissed for a first-ball duck, making matters even worse for the batting side.

Only Tajinder Dhillon provided some entertainment with an aggressive 22 off just 10 balls, smashing two boundaries and two sixes at a strike rate of 220. However, his innings was cut short before he could convert it into something bigger.

Lower-order batter Corbin Bosch fought hard with 24 runs off 27 balls, while Sunny Patel remained unbeaten on 26 from 24 deliveries. Trent Boult also chipped in with a quick 18 off 12 balls, helping MI New York reach 127/9 after 20 overs.

Considering the batting-friendly conditions, the total was well below par.

Donovan Ferreira Leads Texas Bowling Attack

Texas Super Kings produced an outstanding bowling display from the very first over.

Donovan Ferreira surprised everyone by starring with the ball, finishing with outstanding figures of 3/14 in four overs, including a maiden. He dismissed Nicholas Pooran, Kieron Pollard and Quinton de Kock, completely breaking MI New York’s middle order.

Fast bowler Adam Milne continued his excellent form, taking 2 wickets for 22 runs, including the important scalp of Ryan Rickelton.

Abhimanyu Lamba, Hardus Viljoen, Amshi de Silva, and Wiaan Mulder picked up one wicket each, ensuring MI New York never recovered after the early setbacks.

Texas’ bowlers consistently hit the right areas and rarely allowed the batters to score freely, limiting boundaries throughout the innings.

Saiteja Mukkamalla Anchors the Chase

Chasing 128, Texas Super Kings got off to a decent start despite losing captain Faf du Plessis for 13. The experienced opener hit a six but was dismissed by Rushil Ugarkar.

Young wicketkeeper-batter Saiteja Mukkamalla then played a mature innings under pressure. He scored 38 runs from 37 balls, hitting three fours and two sixes while holding the innings together.

South African batter Rilee Rossouw contributed 18 runs, although he struggled to accelerate before becoming Ugarkar’s second victim.

Milind Kumar added an important 22 off 17 deliveries, keeping the required run rate under control before being run out.

With a few overs remaining, Donovan Ferreira once again stepped up. His unbeaten 18 from 13 balls, along with Wiaan Mulder’s unbeaten 19 from 15 deliveries, guided Texas Super Kings home comfortably in 19 overs with six wickets in hand.

MI New York Bowlers Fight Hard

Although the target was modest, MI New York’s bowlers managed to create a few opportunities.

Young pacer Rushil Ugarkar impressed with figures of 2/16 in four overs, dismissing both Faf du Plessis and Rilee Rossouw.

Tajinder Dhillon also contributed with the ball by removing Saiteja Mukkamalla after his valuable innings.

However, experienced bowlers like Trent Boult, Corbin Bosch, and Corey Anderson failed to make regular breakthroughs, allowing Texas to remain in control throughout the chase.

Player of the Match: Donovan Ferreira

Donovan Ferreira was named Player of the Match for his brilliant all-round display. He picked up 3 wickets for just 14 runs in 4 overs, removing Quinton de Kock, Nicholas Pooran, and Kieron Pollard. He then remained unbeaten on 18 off 13 balls, helping Texas Super Kings complete a comfortable six-wicket victory.

Texas Super Kings Continue Winning Momentum

The victory further strengthens Texas Super Kings’ position in the MLC 2026 points table. Their bowlers once again laid the foundation, while the batting unit chased the target without taking unnecessary risks.

For MI New York, the match highlighted familiar batting concerns. Apart from a few useful contributions from the lower order, none of the top-order batters managed to convert their starts into substantial scores. Captain Nicholas Pooran and the experienced middle order will need to respond quickly if MI New York hopes to climb the standings in the coming matches.

Texas, meanwhile, will be pleased with the balance shown by both departments. With players like Donovan Ferreira, Adam Milne, Saiteja Mukkamalla and Wiaan Mulder delivering at crucial moments, the team looks increasingly capable of challenging for the MLC 2026 title.
