Grand Prairie Stadium hosts a meeting of two sides packed with international names. Texas Super Kings are led by Faf du Plessis and have a batting group that includes Rilee Rossouw, Donovan Ferreira and Wiaan Mulder, with Saiteja Mukkamalla likely to keep wicket. Their pace options feature Nandre Burger, Hardus Viljoen and Mohammad Mohsin.
MI New York bring Quinton de Kock, Monank Patel and captain Nicholas Pooran at the top of the order, backed by the power of Kieron Pollard, Corey Anderson and Romario Shepherd. The attack is headed by Trent Boult, with Corbin Bosch, Rohil Ugarkar and Nosthush Kenjige in support.
The surface is expected to suit batters, and the short boundaries should lead to plenty of sixes, so bowlers who can vary their pace and length will be valuable. Burger and Boult may get something from the new ball in the first couple of overs. Dew later in the evening could give the chasing team an advantage, so the toss matters.
Both teams can post a big total, and our preview gives a slight edge to Texas Super Kings, who are expected to cope better with the heat and humidity of a Dallas evening.
