Match preview
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.
Grand Prairie Stadium is expected to play as a good batting surface, hard with true bounce and pace, so strokes come easily. Quicker bowlers may find some help with the new ball, but the surface usually becomes easier for scoring as the innings goes on. Short boundaries encourage big hitting and spin may matter later. A first-innings 170–190 should be competitive, and more than 200 would be hard to chase.
Dallas should be warm and humid, with temperatures around 34°C during the evening and mostly clear to partly cloudy skies. An isolated storm earlier in the day is possible, but rain is unlikely to affect play. Rising humidity could bring dew, which may help the side batting second.

| First innings | 175–195 | 158 (19.2 ov) |
