TEX vs NY Prediction for MLC 2025 Challenger Match Preview: The MLC 2025 Season kicked off with the clash between SF and WAS, where the two faced off for the first time, and then opened the contest for the other teams. Six teams participated in the league this season, out of which only four could make it to the top four for the knockout stage. After battling hard, SF could not make it to the finals and is now out of the final trophy race, while Washington Freedom, the defending champions, have already made it to the finals. With a single match left before the finals, the other qualifiers are set to face in the Challenger match, where Texas Super Kings will face MI New York. Both teams have performed consistently throughout the league stage and have secured their spots in the playoffs.
Texas Super Kings dominated the group stage with 7 wins out of 10 matches and a strong net run rate of +1.603, looked like the team to beat all season. They started strong with a win, but then faced a few hiccups in between. Despite a few losses, they bounced back strongly and made it to the playoffs. However, their last qualifier match against Washington Freedom was washed out due to rain, forcing them into this challenger match instead of making it to the finals. MI New York, on the other hand, had a shaky league stage with only 3 wins in 10 games; they finished struggling with NRR and poor performances, but did a great job and bounced back before qualifications. They clinched must-win victories against Los Angeles Knight Riders twice in the final phase, and then held their nerve to edge out the San Francisco Unicorns by 2 wickets in the Eliminator. Trent Boult’s match-winning performance in that game gave them a massive morale boost coming into this clash.
So, coming into this match both teams will seek a win for their own different reasons; the winner will get one step closer to the final, while the loser will end their run for this season. Both teams will be eager to grab this opportunity and secure their ticket to the final. With this, fans can expect to see an intense and competitive match between the two.
