NYS vs MSA Team Previews
New York Strikers
The Strikers started their journey in the T10 League on a disappointing note, losing the opening match against the Bangla Tigers. However, they have made a comeback of sorts, winning each of their last 2 matches. As a result, the Strikers find themselves in the 3rd spot, leading Abu Dhabi by 1 point.
In their latest match, the Strikers faced the defending champions Deccan Gladiators. Batting first, the Gladiators set them a target of 110 runs. Akeal Hosein and Jordan Thompson picked up 2 wickets each. With that, Thompson is the joint-highest wicket-taker of this season, while Hosein is a close second.
Chasing the stiff target, the top-order batsmen performed well under pressure and held their nerve to win the match off the very last delivery. Eoin Morgan played well for his unbeaten knock of 42 runs and received good support from Stirling and Azam Khan. The top order has been a great asset for the Strikers this season.
New York Strikers Playing 11
Azam Khan, ADS Fletcher, Paul Stirling, Eoin Morgan, Kieron Pollard, Akeal Hosein, Wahab Riaz, Ravi Rampaul, Jordan Thompson, Mohammad Waseem, Matiullah Khan.
