Under the captaincy of Kieron Pollard, MINY currently holds the fifth position in the table with two points and a net run rate of +1.100. This comes after securing a victory in one out of three matches. To secure a spot in the playoffs, the New York side must return to their winning form.
Meanwhile, the Freedom have successfully qualified for the playoffs, but their position in the top two is not yet guaranteed. If they face a defeat in their next game, they could potentially lose their place in the top two and face the risk of dropping down the standings.
Pitch report
Church Street Park’s pitch is expected to provide a well-balanced playing field, benefiting both batsmen and bowlers alike. Recent matches have demonstrated that the pacers might have an upper hand, as they have achieved notable success in all phases of the game on this particular surface.
