MI New York

The upcoming match between MI New York and the San Francisco Unicorns on July 14 promises to be an exciting clash in the Major League Cricket 2023. The game will be held at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas. MI New York, led by the experienced T20 player Kieron Pollard, is considered one of the strongest teams this season.

With a core group of players from the Mumbai Indians franchise, the team has a great understanding of each other’s game. Pollard, known for his leadership skills, will be eager to make a strong start to the tournament. Steven Taylor and Dewald Brevis will be key in setting a solid foundation for the team’s middle order, which includes power hitters like Pooran and David.

The team also has plenty of firepower towards the end with players like Pollard and Weise expected to score quick runs. MI New York boasts a management team with ample experience, further bolstering their chances of lifting the trophy. The team’s pace attack will be led by the skilled seamers Trent Boult and Kagiso Rabada, while Rashid Khan will bring his reliability as a spinner, along with his ability to contribute with the bat.

San Francisco Unicorns

The San Jose-based franchise, coached by veteran Australian all-rounder Shane Watson and led by Aaron Finch, a captain who has previously led Australia to a T20 World Cup title, has assembled a well-balanced team with a mix of experienced and young talent.

Alongside Finch, the Unicorns will heavily rely on the batting prowess of Marcus Stoinis, Corey Anderson, Finn Allen, Matthew Wade, and Mackenzie Harvey. The team’s batting depth will be further enhanced by the presence of all-rounders Chaitanya Bishnoi, Tajinder Singh, and Shadab Khan. However, the true strength of the Unicorns lies in their formidable bowling attack.

With Haris Rauf, Lungi Ngidi, and Liam Plunkett leading the pace department, and Shadab Khan supported by Corey Anderson and Chaitanya Bishnoi as spin options, the Unicorns have an impressive arsenal of bowlers who can make a significant impact in the tournament.
