A brilliant unbeaten half-century from captain Nicholas Pooran and a superb bowling display from Corbin Bosch helped MI New York chase down the target with ease.

Captain Pooran Takes Charge During the Chase

After de Kock's dismissal, Monank Patel anchored the innings with an impressive 46 off 34 balls, rotating the strike effectively while finding regular boundaries.
The partnership laid the perfect platform for captain Nicholas Pooran, who once again showed why he is one of the most dangerous T20 batters in the world.
