MI New York faced no stiff challenge in the tournament opener and never looked fazed at any stage as the seasoned campaigners ensured they don't do anything silly. Things could have been interesting, and the game might have gotten closer if some chances had been taken in the outfield but in the end, it was a characteristic MI New York performance where everything fell into place and there were no major hiccups. 108 was never going to be enough. The win was set up by MINY's potent bowling attack, which didn't give any respite to the batters and kept them on a leash. With Rashid Khan, Anrich Nortje, and Trent Boult coming into form right after the World Cup, it was always going to be a tough ask for the batters to deal with that sort of quality. Pooran responded terrifically, holding the innings together, pacing the knock perfectly, and knowing when to block and when to attack, while Tim David struggled at the other end. The bowlers stepped up and did their job with aplomb, resulting in MI New York commencing their 2024 MLC campaign with a blast. MI New York will be back on the field tomorrow for their match against Washington Freedom

Don't go far away, as the second game of the double-header between Texas and Los Angeles will start soon!

Zaman Khan to Pollard, SIX, Swings for the grandstands and connects well, fuller length ball at middle and off, brings out the flair and it's a lusty swing over deep wide long-on for a six! MI New York, the defending champions, start their defense of the title with a resounding win!

Zaman Khan to Pollard, 1 wide, Over the wicket, too short and swirling away wide of off, wide given on height

Noman Zeb : "Zaman Khan's over all economy rate in T20s is a bit on the higher side I think it's because he bowls a lot of death overs"
