Texas Super KingsMI New YorkThe 1st playoff was a complete disappointment for Texas Super Kings. Nothing, from the first ball, was in their favour and the game ended up in an embarrassing 9-wicket loss for skipper Faf du Plessis and his men. Batting first, Devon Conway and Cody Chetty gave a balanced start to the team but it was the middle order which completely failed to impress. Daniel Sams tried to push the overall score but he was not getting any support from the other end. Rusty Theron picked up a wicket but overall bowlers also turned out to be expensive and couldn't control the run rate of the opposition.
Team Management will be concerned over failing middle order and they would expect a better performance from the batters.
Predicted Lineup: Mitchell Santner, Milind Kumar, Faf du Plessis, Calvin Savage, Gerald Coetzee, Rusty Theron, Cody Chetty, Devon Conway, David Miller, Mohammad Mohsin, Daniel Sams
It was the heroics of MI New York bowlers who save the match for their team in the eliminator match. Batting first, except for Dewald Brevis, no other batsman was able to play a stable inning. Brevis scored 57 runs off 47 balls at a strike rate of 139.02. Tim David played a cameo of 23 runs at a strike rate of 191.67. Trent Boult made a huge impact with the bowl as he picked up 4 wickets at an economy of 5 in 4 overs. Nosthush Kenjige also picked up 2 wickets at an economy of 4.75 in 4 overs.
Skipper Kieron Pollard wonβt be doing any changes to the winning squad.
Predicted Lineup: Timothy David, Nosthush Kenjige, David Wiese, Nicholas Pooran, Dewald Brevis, Monank Patel, Ehsan Adil, Trent Boult, Rashid Khan, Steven Taylor, Shayan Jahangir
Texas Super Kings have a major weakness when it comes to their opening partnership. MI New York, on the other hand, has a major weakness with their local talent pool. However, we predict Texas Super Kings will be the winners of the 2nd playoff because they have a much-balanced squad.
