MINY vs TSK Top Players Predictions
Trent Boult (MINY): The Kiwi pacer has the unique ability to strike early with the new ball on most games. Boult is an excellent exponent of swing and getting the ball to pitch at the right areas according to conditions. He showcased glimpses of his calibre in their first game as well. The left-arm pacer has bagged three wickets from a couple of matches at a bowling average of 9.33.
Faf du Plessis (TSK): The Proteas star is one of the two batters to score a ton in MLC 2024. He has been getting good starts for TSK and was also in good nick during the recently concluded IPL 2024. Having racked up 148 runs from three innings at a strike rate of 166.29, Faf is the leading run-getter of the tourney.
Rashid Khan (MINY): The wrist spinner has been in tremendous form since the World Cup in West Indies and the United States of America. The Afghanistan captain bagged three wickets from a couple of matches with a bowling average reading 16.33. Rashid can also turn out to be more than handy lower down the batting order.
MINY vs TSK Hit or Miss Prediction
Devon Conway (TSK): With Devon Conway and Faf du Plessis, the Yellow Army has one of the greatest opening pairs. The Kiwi smacked 124 runs at an average of 62 from three innings. Conway has been striking at 147.62 at the top of the order, and has been a great hit for the Super Kings.

MINY vs TSK Match Predictions
As per Parimatch, the duo of de Plessis and Conway might falter against the viscous MI new ball attack. So, they first wicket stand could be less than 23.5 (1.85). Hence, MI New York is likely to have a better opening stand (2.50). Also, the total wickets in the game could go well over 13.5 (2.00).
MINY vs TSK Winner Predictions
Both sides are a formidable unit but the Super Kings have a better batting line-up than their counterparts. However, the New York franchise have a lethal bowling attack with Trent Boult, Rashid Khan, Anirch Nortje, Kagiso Rabada and Ehsan Adil. In that case, the team batting second should win the game.
