In Match 2 of the Major League Cricket 2023, the New York and San Francisco Unicorns teams are set to compete against each other on Friday, July 14. The contest will take place at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas.
Kieron Pollard, a veteran of the T20 format, leads the New York team as their captain. With his experience of captaining Trinbago Knight Riders, Mumbai Indians, and MI Emirates, New York has a highly knowledgeable leader at their helm.
Their batting lineup is strengthened by Tim David, Tristan Stubbs, and Nicholas Pooran, while Shayan Jahangir and Monank Patel, the captain of the USA national team, are also part of the squad. Kagiso Rabada and Jason Behrendorff serve as their main bowlers.
The San Francisco Unicorns, on the other hand, boast a strong bowling attack featuring Haris Rauf, Lungi Ngidi, and Liam Plunkett, with Shadab Khan contributing as the primary all-rounder.
Skipper Aaron Finch, Matthew Wade, and Finn Allen are expected to provide runs for the Unicorns at the top of the batting order.
The team also benefits from the skills of Marcus Stoinis, who has performed exceptionally well for Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL and Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash.
