MI New York vs Texas Super Kings match prediction, MLC 2025: Who will win between NY vs TEX in California?
MI New York (NY) will embark on a fresh journey under new captain Nicholas Pooran when they take on Texas Super Kings (TEX) in the second match of the Major League Cricket (MLC) at the Oakland Coliseum in California on Friday (June 13). Both MI New York and Texas Super Kings didn't had the best of the campaigns last year and would like to change their fortunes this season. While Texas Super Kings finished third on the points table with just three wins from seven games, MI New York finished a place below with just two wins in their kitty from the same number of games. MI New York were dealt with a heavy blow ahead of the season after the Afghanistan duo of Rashid Khan and Azmatullah Omarzai opted out of the tournament. However, Afghanistan pacer Naveen-ul-Haq is available for selection. On the other hand, Texas Super Kings will be relying on their big three - Devon Conway, Faf du Plessis and Daryl Mitchell - at the top of the batting order. South African all-rounder Donovan Ferreira will be a threat to the opposition in the middle order along with Marcus Stoinis. Among the spinners, Afghanistan's Noor Ahmad will look to continue his rich form which he showcased in the recently-concluded Indian Premier League. However, West Indies' Akeal Hosein will be unavailable at least for this game due to national duty. Venue: Oakland Coliseum, Oakland. Match Time: 6:30 AM IST (June 14) | 6:00 PM Local | 2:00 AM BST MI New York: Monank Patel, Quinton de Kock (wk), Nicholas Pooran (c), Kieron Pollard, Michael Bracewell, Nosthush Kenjige, Trent Boult, Heath Richards, Tajinder Dhillon, George Linde, Ehsan Adil Texas Super Kings: Devon Conway, Faf du Plessis (c), Marcus Stoinis, Daryl Mitchell, Milind Kumar, Shubham Ranjane, Zia-Ul-Haq, Donovan Ferreira, Adam Milne, Noor Ahmad, Mohammad Mohsin Wicketkeepers: Nicholas Pooran (C), Quinton de Kock, Devon Conway Batters: Faf du Plessis, Kieron Pollard All-rounders: Marcus Stoinis (VC), Darly Mitchell, Michael Bracewell Bowlers: Noor Ahmad, Adam Milne, Trent Boult According to Gemini, both teams boast a strong line-up with some of the best power-hitters in the world cricket currently. "Given the head-to-head dominance, a balanced squad, and a strong spin attack, Texas Super Kings are often favored to win this match. 'Their ability to set or chase high totals on a batting-friendly pitch, coupled with their bowling depth, gives them an edge. However, MI New York, with the likes of Nicholas Pooran and Quinton de Kock, has the potential for explosive batting, and if they fire, they can certainly challenge the Super Kings. 'Overall, it's expected to be a high-scoring game, with Texas Super Kings having a slight advantage,' predicted Gemini. On the other hand, Dream11 prediction said MI New York have slight advantage over Texas Super Kings. 'Both teams are good, but Texas Super Kings might lack with their bowling resources. MI New York have all bases covered in both departments. That is why we predict them to win this game,' Dream11 predictionit said.

Kane Williamson again turns down a central contract with New Zealand Cricket
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Ex-captain Kane Williamson has again rejected a central contract with New Zealand Cricket and likely will miss the Black Caps two test tour to Zimbabwe next month. Williamson also decided not to accept a central contract last year, to leave himself free to play in Twenty20 and other leagues around the world. He instead signed a casual contract last year and still played in nine of New Zealand's 13 tests in 2024, scoring more than 1,000 runs. Williamson was absent from the list of 20 contracted players released by New Zealand Cricket on Tuesday, along with Devon Conway, Finn Allen, Tim Seifert and Lockie Ferguson who also are playing in T20 leagues overseas. He is expected again to sign a casual contract. Allrounders Muhammad Abbas and Zak Foulkes, wicketkeeper Mitch Hay and spinner Adi Ashok are contracted for the first time in the absence of Tim Southee, who has retired, Ish Sodhi, Ajaz Patel and Josh Clarkson. Williamson currently is playing for Middlesex in the English County Championship and T20 Blast and for the London Spirit in The Hundred. He is expected to have county commitments while New Zealand plays Zimbabwe in late July and early August. In a news conference in London last month, Williamson said that his future on a casual contract is 'just a work in progress and New Zealand Cricket have been great with working with that and I've been fortunate throughout.' The 20 contracted players were ranked on domestic and international performances over the past year. 'The contracts with Mitch, Muhammad, Adi and Zak reflect the incredible talent coming through our system,' New Zealand Cricket chief executive Scott Weenink said. 'These players have shown they can compete at the highest level and their hunger to represent the Black Caps is exciting. We're thrilled to see this group drive our team forward.' ___ AP cricket:
