In the second match of Major League Cricket 2025, Texas Super Kings faced MI New York and in this exciting match, Super Kings, captained by Faf du Plessis, won the tournament by winning by 3 runs. To win this match, MI had a target of 186 runs but could only score 182 runs in the scheduled 20 overs and lost the match by 3 runs.
Chasing the target, at one time it seemed that MI New York would easily win this match. After Michael Bracewell was dismissed in the 14th over, the Caribbean veteran, without losing time, put four consecutive boundaries to Texas all -rounder Deril Mitchell, which reduced the required run rate to reduce ten and ready for MI.
However, in the 17th over, Pollard himself hit an ax on his feet and was strangely runout. On the last ball before the end of the over, Pollard tried to take a single by playing the ball on the leg side. He ran for a run as soon as he got the ball, but he slowed down his pace in the middle. He was assuming that it would be easily single but Deril Mitchell, after putting the ball as quickly, ran out to the 20 yard and ran out Pollard by putting a direct hit at the non -striker and a direct hit. His lethargy fell heavily on MI and finally he lost the match by 3 runs.

Prior to Pollard, there was an important 97 -run partnership between Michael Bracewell and Monank Patel, which made the match turning to MI. Bracewell scored 38 runs (3 fours, 2 sixes) off 21 balls before being dismissed, while Monank also scored a half -century innings of 62 runs but due to his dismissal, MI’s car derailed and in the end Kieron Pollard’s 32 -run stormy innings was also insufficient to win his team.
