MLC 2025: Bowlers to Watch in the 21st Match of TSK vs MI NY

When Texas Super Kings (TSK) and MI New York (MI NY) take the field against each other, the focus is generally on the batters hitting sixes. However, in T20 cricket, bowlers often subtly change the game; they are the silent fighters, who remain the unsung heroes by holding the runs and taking wickets when it matters. As we gear up for the 21st match of MLC 2025, let’s look at three bowlers who could be the X-factors in this match-up.

Noor Ahmad: The Magic Spinner with Midas Touch

If you haven’t been paying attention to Noor Ahmad, you should start. The Afghan spinner has silently built his reputation as a wicket-taking engine this season, with 19 wickets in 10 matches. What makes Noor special? Well, his ability to keep wickets tight, as his economy rate is just 7.95, but most importantly, he is a partnership breaker. His strike rate is 12.63, meaning he takes a wicket every two overs — horrible for batters settling in.

In a game where runs come thick and fast, Noor’s guile and variety could be the match winner for TSK. Expect him to toss up tricky deliveries, lure the aggressive MI NY batsmen into a mistake, and perhaps rattle the middle order. When the middle overs come and pressure starts building, Noor’s calm, clever bowling can swing the balance of the match in TSK’s favour.

Adam Milne: TSK’s Express Pace Weapon

Adam Milne’s express pace completes TSK bowling. Milne has proven he can now consistently bowl at 145+ kph, and his stats (9 wickets in 4 matches for a low economy of 6.78 with a strike rate nuclear numbers’ of 9.44, essentially 1.5 overs for a wicket!) do speak for themselves.

Milne’s power and pace are exact weapons for the powerplay and death overs. He is a bowler who can blow away openers to get started and come back in the death to defend a low total with yorkers that find the blockhole. If MI NY’s top order gets in on too long, Milne could be the guy to break MI NY’s top-order trance. TSK’s fans will be hoping and counting on his raw pace and bounce to send some MI NY batters packing all too early.

Trent Boult: MI NY’s Cold-Blooded Wicket Taker

At the other end of the green for MI NY is Trent Boult – the very definition of reliability and experience. Boult has led MI NY’s bowling attack this season, taking 11 wickets in 10 matches. His economy rate of 9.48 might lead some to think he isn’t accurate, but his strike rate of 21.81 indicates that he can take wickets in important moments.

Boult’s worth is not just in his strike rate, but in his ability to swing the new ball, providing MI NY with early breakthroughs. Boult changes pace and angles well to disorientate batters looking to increase their scoring rate. MI NY will need to apply pressure on TSK’s big hitters early, and Boult will need to take wickets in the power play and apply pressure during the middle overs. Boult’s experience will be super important in being able to read the batters and make decisions in real time.

Okay, gather the snacks, and pass them to me because we are about to go in because the real battles are in those pressure-filled overs and tight moments when bowlers’ mindsets shift and pressure turns into turning the game around.
