MI New York Defeat Washington Freedom By Five Runs To Secure MLC 2025 Title
MI New York staged one of the most amazing comebacks in franchise T20 history, defeating reigning champions Washington Freedom by five runs to win the 2025 Major League Cricket (MLC) championship at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas, on Monday. Rushil Ugarkar, who sealed the match for MI, defended 12 runs in the last over against the dangerous Glenn Maxwell and Glenn Phillips. Chasing 181, Trent Boult picked up two wickets in the first over of the innings to dent Freedom. However, opener Rachin Ravindra scoring 70 from 41 balls after early jitters and Jack Edwards chipping in with 33 from 22, the Freedom innings didn't seem to find the next gear they needed till Phillips got going. Maxwell, who struggled apart from when he scored 106* in a win over Texas Super Kings back on June 17, couldn't get the scoreboard moving at the rate required. And three MINY bowlers, including Ugarkar, went at eight an over or fewer, with Tajinder Singh's three overs costing just 18 runs. Earlier in the match, Freedom's skipper Maxwell opted to field. MINY had the best possible start, with Quinton de Kock and Monank Patel, who finished as the top run-getter in the tournament, adding 72 runs in just 44 balls. De Kock was the aggressor in that stand, as he was in the third-wicket stand of 56 off 35 balls with Nicholas Pooran, where he scored 32 in 18 balls to Pooran's 17-ball 21. De Kock's innings ended on 77 from 46 balls, and though there wasn't much after he fell in the 17th over, one of Lockie Ferguson's three wickets, apart from Kunwarjeet Singh's unbeaten 22 from 13 balls, MINY were better placed heading into the break. And they stayed there despite the best efforts from Ravindra and Phillips, and they have Ugarkar to thank for it.

MLC 2025: Trent Boult stars with the bat as MI New York edge San Francisco Unicorns in Eliminator
Trent Boult hammered consecutive sixes in MI New York's win over San Francisco Unicorns in the Major League Cricket. (Sportzpics) Trent Boult delivered a match-winning performance with both bat and ball as MI New York defeated San Francisco Unicorns in a thrilling Eliminator match at Dallas in the Major League Cricket. Boult's unbeaten 22 runs off 13 balls, including two crucial sixes in the penultimate over, helped MI NY chase down SFU's target of 133 with two wickets remaining, securing their first-ever victory against the Unicorns in MLC history and advancing to face Texas Super Kings in Friday's Qualifier 2 match. The match began with MI NY captain Nicholas Pooran winning the toss and electing to bowl under the threat of rain. The decision proved effective as MI NY's bowlers, led by Nosthush Kenjige and Boult, dismantled SFU's top order, reducing them to 16 for 5 in the fifth over. Cooper Connolly attempted to stabilise the SFU innings, but Tristan Luus and Rushil Ugarkar maintained bowling pressure. After Connolly's dismissal by Luus and Hammad Azam's wicket claimed by Ugarkar, SFU found themselves at 62 for 7. Xavier Bartlett's counter-attacking innings of 44 runs off 24 balls, supported by Brody Couch, helped SFU avoid a sub-100 total. The pair added 59 runs from 32 balls before Ugarkar broke the partnership in the 17th over, with SFU ultimately posting 133 runs. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 痛みのない血糖測定器が何百万人もの人生を変えています！ Wmet 詳細 Undo Rain interrupted play for an hour but did not result in any reduction of overs.

Monank Patel and Michael Bracewell struggled to maintain the scoring rate, reaching 58 for 2 at the halfway mark. Short returned to dismiss Monank in the 13th over, followed by Bartlett removing Kieron Pollard in the 14th.

He targeted Hassan Khan in the 19th over, hitting two consecutive sixes over deep mid-wicket to turn the match in MI NY's favour. Boult then guided the team to victory in the final over.
