TSK vs MINY Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report MLC 2023 Match 7 | TSK vs MINY Dream11 Prediction Today | Grand Prairie Pitch Report

It’s the Super Kings against MI. The yellow vs blue that has thrilled us in the Indian Premier League over the years now makes it way to America in a tournament that has already showcased how quickly a T20 match can turn.

MI New York, four-fifths of the way through their innings, looked in terrible trouble against Los Angeles on Sunday night. Sitting precariously at 97/7 after 16.2 overs following a defeat in their first game, Tim David once again highlighted his quality by lifting New York to 155.

David forms part of MI New York’s key strength: the lower-middle order. But, as skipper Kieron Pollard said in the post-match interview, more is needed from the top order. If they get the necessary returns, MI NY will be mighty hard to beat given the proficiency of their bowling attack, which was on display yesterday as they routed LA for just 50.

Texas Super Kings are in a similar boat. Both Faf du Plessis and Decon Conway have been dismissed for golden ducks already in MLC 2023. Their battle with the Rabada-Boult opening combination promises to be a mouthwatering encounter. Should TSK get away early, they have the finishing power – as Dwayne Bravo showed last game – to cause problems.

• Bravo has dismissed Nicholas Pooran three times in 44 balls in T20s (68 runs). He has also dismissed Pollard 11 times in 176 balls in T20s (275 runs), so that battle promises to be a fascinating one.
• Gerald Coetzee, if fit, is one to watch. The pacer has picked up four wickets in two games, with three coming in the powerplay. Interestingly, Coetzee has dismissed Dewald Brevis twice in 15 balls in T20s (17 runs).
