Suspense crime, Digital Desk : The Texas Super Kings (TSK) snatched a dramatic victory from the jaws of defeat against MI New York (MINY) in a Major League Cricket thriller, thanks to a stunning late-game collapse from MI and a composed innings from Milind Kumar.
MI New York looked destined for a comfortable victory, cruising at 111 for 3 while batting first. Explosive hitting from Tim David, who smashed a rapid 33 off just 15 balls, seemed to be setting up an insurmountable total. But in a shocking turn of events, the momentum completely reversed. MINY’s batting lineup imploded, losing a staggering 5 wickets for just 11 runs, limping to a final score of 122. TSK's bowlers, particularly Calvin Savage and leg-spinner Mohammad Mohsin, were instrumental in triggering the meltdown.
In response, TSK’s chase was far from straightforward. Despite an aggressive start from captain Faf du Plessis, they found themselves under pressure. It was Milind Kumar who became the anchor of the innings. While wickets fell around him, he held his nerve, crafting a crucial unbeaten 40 to steer the chase.
The tension mounted until the final over, with TSK needing eight runs to win. Milind Kumar proved to be the hero of the hour, striking the winning boundary on the second-to-last ball to seal a memorable victory for the Texas Super Kings, leaving a stunned MI New York to rue their monumental collapse.
