Islamabad, June 14, 2025: In a heart-pounding finish of Texas Super Kings Vs Mi New York match at the Oakland Coliseum, Daryl Mitchell turned savior for the Texas Super Kings, directing his side to a nail-biting three-run win over MI New York in their second Major League Cricket (MLC) 2025 clash on Friday.
