Bosch and Pooran Dismantle Texas Super Kings as MI New York Cruise Home

MI New York won by 8 wickets (with 14 balls remaining) against Texas Super Kings in match 7 of 34 in MLC 2026 at Grand Prairie Stadium, Dallas. Corbin Bosch ripped through the TSK top order with 4/29, before Nicholas Pooran sealed the chase with an unbeaten 68 off 46 balls.

First Innings – TSK Struggle to 158

MINY won the toss and inserted TSK – a decision vindicated inside the first over. Trent Boult struck immediately, removing Smit Patel for a duck to leave TSK 0/1 in the first over. Rilee Rossouw launched a six off his fifth ball but was bowled by Bosch for just 8, and TSK were in early trouble.

Saiteja Mukkamalla hit three fours in a brisk 17 off 14 but became Bosch’s second victim, caught in the sixth over with the score at 36/3. TSK were reeling.

Milind Kumar steadied things. The right-hander anchored the middle overs with 39 off 30 balls, hitting four fours and a six to drag TSK back into the contest. He put on 65 for the fourth wicket before falling caught at 101/4 in the 13th over – a dismissal that shifted the momentum again.

Shubham Ranjane was the standout with the bat. His 49 off 36 – four boundaries and a maximum – gave TSK genuine hope, but he couldn’t find a partner to stay with him. Donovan Ferreira managed just 7 before being caught by a substitute fielder, and Ranjane himself fell at 133/6 trying to push the scoring rate.

Wiaan Mulder clubbed 15 off 8 including a four and a six, but Boult returned to mop up the tail. Akeal Hosein contributed 6, Adam Milne hit a four in his 5 off 6, and Amshi de Silva was run out off the last ball to end the innings. Hardus Viljoen was left stranded on 2 not out as TSK were bowled out for 158 in 19.2 overs.

Bosch finished with 4/29 from his four overs – the best figures of the match. Boult was equally impressive with 3/18 from 3.2 overs, the pair combining for 7/47. Romario Shepherd chipped in with 1/28 from three, while Rushil Ugarkar claimed 1/37 from his four. Sunny Patel went wicketless but kept things tidy at 8.5 an over, and Kieron Pollard bowled one over for 10.

The Chase – Pooran Takes Centre Stage

Quinton de Kock set the tone with 26 off 16 balls at the top – two fours and two sixes making MINY’s intentions clear. He was bowled in the sixth over at 49/1, but the platform was laid.

Monank Patel anchored the middle overs beautifully. His 46 off 34 – four boundaries and a six – controlled the tempo of the chase, keeping MINY well ahead of the rate without taking unnecessary risks. He and Pooran put on 64 for the second wicket, a partnership that effectively killed the contest.

Pooran was imperious. Six fours and three sixes in an unbeaten 68 off 46 balls – he timed the chase to perfection, accelerating through the middle overs and never letting TSK back into the game. When Monank fell LBW at 113/2 in the 13th over, the equation was already down to 46 off 42 balls. Pollard came in and saw it home with an unbeaten 7 off 12 as MINY reached 162/2 with 14 balls to spare.

TSK’s bowlers had a tough evening. De Silva picked up 1/29 from three and Viljoen took 1/29 from 3.1 overs, but those were the only breakthroughs. Ferreira was the most economical with 0/27 from four, while Hosein went for 29 from three and Mulder conceded 20 from 1.3 overs. Milne’s three overs for 22 offered control but no wickets.

Statz MVP – Corbin Bosch

Corbin Bosch takes the Statz MVP award with a rating of 83.78. His 4/29 from four overs broke the back of the TSK innings – two powerplay wickets to set the tone and two more through the middle overs to prevent any sustained recovery. The Statz rating calculates impact based on match context, and Bosch’s contribution was the defining performance of the match. Statz agrees with the official Man of the Match selection.

Top 5 Statz Ratings

  1. Corbin Bosch (MINY) – 83.78: Four wickets at crucial moments dismantled the TSK top order and middle order alike.
  2. Nicholas Pooran (MINY) – 73.52: An unbeaten 68 off 46 in a chase is clinical. Controlled the tempo from start to finish.
  3. Trent Boult (MINY) – 73.06: Three wickets with the new ball for just 18 runs set the platform for everything that followed.
  4. Shubham Ranjane (TSK) – 56.34: Fought hard with 49 off 36 when wickets were tumbling around him – the lone bright spot in TSK’s innings.
  5. Monank Patel (MINY) – 50.24: Anchored the chase with 46 off 34, managing the tempo perfectly and never letting TSK build pressure.

Turning Point

Milind Kumar’s dismissal at 101/4 in the 13th over was the moment this match tilted decisively. Kumar had rebuilt patiently after TSK’s top-order collapse, and at 101/4 with seven overs remaining, a total north of 175 was still on the cards. Instead, his departure triggered a slide – five wickets fell for 57 runs in the final 6.5 overs. Without Kumar’s steadying presence, TSK’s lower order couldn’t accelerate against Bosch and Boult, and the eventual 158 was always going to be below par.

What This Means – MLC 2026 Standings

MINY move to 4th after this win, level on two points with San Francisco Unicorns and Washington Freedom but carrying a net run rate of -0.022. TSK sit 5th with two points from three matches and a net run rate of -0.592 – the extra game played a concern at this early stage.

LA Knight Riders lead the standings on four points from two wins, their net run rate of +2.602 already putting clear daylight between themselves and the rest. Seattle Orcas sit bottom on two points with the worst run rate of -1.214.

It is only match 7 of 34, but TSK need to find consistency in their top order if they are to stay competitive. For MINY, the Bosch-Boult new-ball combination looks like the real deal – if Pooran keeps batting like this in the chase, they will be hard to stop.
