MI New YorkSan Francisco UnicornsKieron Pollard was announced as the captain of the MI New York franchise before the beginning of the league. The team has a good mix of overseas all-rounders and bowlers, but they will have to rely on domestic batters to score runs for the team. Since only six foreigners are allowed in the playing 11, we think Kieron Pollard, Dewald Brevis, Tim David, Nicholas Pooran, Trent Boult, and Kagiso Rabada will be a part of the team, but one of them will have to sit out once Rashid Khan comes from national duty.
Trent Boult and Kagiso Rabada will be a part of the team.
Predicted Lineup: Steven Taylor, Nosthush Kenjige, Dewald Brevis, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Kieron Pollard (c), Tim David, Kyle Phillip, Jasdeep Singh, Saideep Ganesh, Trent Boult, and Kagiso Rabada
They will be led by Aussie legend Aaron Finch in this tournament. The San Francisco Unicorns have a great variety in their squad, with some big names and players. Marcus Stoinis, Haris Rauf, Shadab Khan, Lungi Ngidi, and Matthew Wade could be their overseas options, along with Aaron Finch at the top.
Matthew Wade could be their overseas option, along with Aaron Finch.
Predicted Lineup: Aaron Finch (c), Tajinder Singh, Matthew Wade, Marcus Stoinis, Chaitanya Bishnoi, Smit Patel (wk), Shadab Khan, Sanjay Krishnamurthi, Lungi Ngidi, Haris Rauf, and Carmi Le Roux
MI New York definitely seems like the better team on paper and is an experienced team as well. They have a solid bowling unit, which will definitely help them in this match as well as this tournament. The San Francisco Unicorns also have some big names in their ranks, but it is going to be an uphill task for them to beat MI New York. We predict Pollardβs team to beat Finchβs team in this match of Major League Cricket.
