Super Kings Dominate MI New York in Low-Scoring MLC Encounter

Super kings (Saiteja Mukkamalla 38, Mulder 19*) secure their third consecutive win in the MLC 2026.

In a historically low-scoring match at Oakland’s Bay Meadows Park, sitting CSK Captain Pat Cummins led Texas Super kings to a third consecutive win – following a near run chase of MI New York’s total. Their stellar performance further tightening their grip on the league standings, now atop the table following the win

More importantly, it was Super Kings’ third win in five games and lifted them to the top of the points table temporarily, while for MI New York, it was a second loss in three games, keeping them only above Washington Freedom.

Faf du Plessis won the toss and asked MI New York to bat first and by the end of the seventh over, half the batters were back in the dugout. doing the early damage was Adam Milne, who sent back Monank Patel and Ryan Rickelton, and after Hardus Viljouen had accounted for Tajinder Singh, Donovan Ferreira took over.

Ferreira got rid of Quinton de Kock first and then Kieron Pollard first ball in the seventh over of the innings, and MI New York were going nowhere at that stage with the scoreboard reading 52 for 5. Nicholas Pooran was going nowhere either and became the next to fall, to Ferreira again for three off 11 balls, and if MI New York got to a total that eventually proved competitive, it was down to the lower-order fightback from Corbin Bosch (24 in 27 balls), Sunny Patel, the top scorer with 26 not out in 24, and Trent Boult (18 in 12).

A target of 128 didn’t look too big, but Super kings struggled all the way before getting past it.

Their highest scorer, Saïtéja Mukkamalla, took 37 balls to score his 38 runs. Rilee Rossouw scored his 18 runs at a strike rate of 78.26. The quickest of the Super Kings batters was du Plessis, whose 13 runs came at 144.44. But thanks to Ferreira and Milne’s heroics with the ball, the task was never out of reach.

Importantly for Super kings, each of their batters got starts, and there was never a collapse of any sort. The partnerships were 28, 31, 29, 8, and 36*,. Super kings were always going to ge there and when they did, they had Ferreira, appropriately, in the middle, with an unbeaten 18 in 13 balls, with Wiaan Mulder unbeaten on 19 off 15.
