MINY vs SOR Match Prediction & Analysis
MI New York and Seattle Orcas will go head to head in the season opener of the Major League Cricker 2024 at Church Street Park in Morrisville.
The last time these two teams met here, Heinrich Klaasen’s unbeaten 100 led the Orcas to a 2-wicket win as they chased down 195 runs. While Klaasen and Quinton de Kock continue to be part of the squad this season, Hetmyer, Aaron Jones, and Dasun Shanaka will be missing out.
MI New York, on the other hand, continue to include their match-winner of the Final, Nicholas Pooran along with other key batters like Dewald Brewis, Tim David, and Steven Taylor.
Their pace attack is lethal with the likes of Trent Boult, Kagiso Rabada, and Anrich Nortje. New York will pose a tough challenge to the Orcas in this match.

TEAMS PREVIEW
MI New York Preview
MI New York tick all the right boxes as far as their squad is concerned. They won just 2 of their 5 league stage matches last year and finished at number 4.
Nonetheless, they were exceptional in the playoffs, winning the Eliminator, Challenger, and ultimately the Final to lift the trophy. Kieron Pollard would be proud of the way his team bounced back to emerge as the MLC 2023 champions.
The lower middle order of this batting lineup features Kieron Pollard, Tim David, and Rashid Khan. David Wiese is no longer part of this squad. It won’t make much of an impact on their batting depth as they still have some reliable and experienced big-hitting T20 stars.
Steven Taylor will be crucial in the middle-order along with Nicholas Pooran. They’ve got a great number of pacers in the squad, all of whom have plenty of experience playing in franchise cricket around the world.
They’ve replaced Jason Behrendorff with Romario Shepherd this year and we think this is a great move. Overall, it is a strong squad with reliable and experienced players in every department. MI New York should be able to get off to a better start than last year.
MINY Over/Under Betting Tips
The leading run-scorer and six-hitter in Major League Cricket, Nicholas Pooran, will aim to extend his hot form from the recently concluded T20 World Cup. In that tournament, he smashed 17 sixes in just 7 matches, averaging over 2 sixes per game. Given his current form, we back Pooran to hit over 1.5 sixes in today's match.
MI New York Predicted Playing XI:
Shayan Jahangir, Monank Patel, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Kieron Pollard (c), Tim David, Steven Taylor, Dewald Brewis, Rashid Khan, Trent Boult, Ehsan Adil, Romario Shepherd
MI New York Actual Playing XI:
Ehsan Adil, Ruben Clinton, Monank Patel, Kieron Pollard, Timothy David, Trent Boult, Rashid Khan, Steven Taylor, Shayan Jahangir, Anrich Nortje, Nicholas Pooran
Seattle Orcas Preview
Seattle Orcas lost the Final of the 2023 MLC while defending a 183-run target. Quinton de Kock’s 87 off 52 balls didn’t get them far enough as no other batter in their lineup stepped to the occasion.
This season, it can get even more challenging as they’ve let go of some of their big players like Shimron Hetmyer, Aaron Jones, Dasun Shanaka, and bowling all-rounder Dwaine Pretorius.
Michael Bracewell has come into the side and will be one to watch out for. He’s been very impressive in the domestic circuit in New Zealand. He can deliver with both bat and ball and also has some international experience.
It needs to be seen whether Quinton de Kock and Henrich Klaasen will be available for this game or it would be too soon for them to return from their loss in the T20 World Cup Final.
These two are key to batting success for Orcas. Wayne Parnell has enough variety in his squad to lead with. There are the likes of Shehan Jayasuriya and Shubham Ranjane who’ve been quite promising with the bat.
Imad Wasim will be crucial with his left-arm orthodox while Seattle Orcas welcome some new to their bowling department. Nathan Ellis, Lance Morris, and Obed McCoy are the big names to watch out for.
SOR Over/Under Betting Tips
Quinton de Kock boasts 190 runs in his last four matches, including two crucial fifties that won his team the game. Riding this wave of good form, he looks primed to deliver again today, with a projected score exceeding 23.5 runs.
Seattle Orcas Predicted Playing XI:
Quinton de Kock (wk), Nauman Anwar, Shehan Jayasuriya, Heinrich Klaasen, Shubham Ranjane, Imad Wasim, Michael Bracewell, Wayne Parnell (c), Harmeet Singh, Obed McCoy, Cameron Gannon
Seattle Orcas Actual Playing XI:
Nauman Anwar, Michael Bracewell, Nandre Burger, Cameron Gannon, Shubham Ranjane, Imad Wasim, Harmeet Singh, Quinton de Kock, Heinrich Klaasen, Aaron Jones, Zaman Khan
