In a strong show, MI New York defeated Los Angeles Knight Riders by 105 runs in the sixth match of Major League Cricket (MLC) at Grand Prairie Stadium, Dallas, on Sunday.

The MI New York put up a total of 155/8 in their 20 overs before bowling out the Los Angeles Knight Riders (LAKR) for just 50 runs, as per a press release from MLC.

The Knight Riders’ innings began on a sorry note as they lost their first three wickets for a mere two runs. The team from Los Angeles looked in major trouble and did not seem to find any way to make a comeback. The New York bowling attack constantly kept taking wickets while Knight Riders looked out of sorts. The Knight Riders were finally bundled out for 50 runs in 14 overs. Unmukt Chand (26) was the only player to reach double figures in the Knight Riders line-up. All five bowlers of the New York bowling attack — Nosthush Kenjinge, Ehsan Adil, Trent Boult, Kagiso Rabada, and Kieron Pollard ended with two wickets each.

The LAKR innings reminded fans of the IPL game in 2017 when RCB was dismissed for a record low score of 49 against KKR. Memes flooded social media mocking the fact that RCB’s record of 49 was intact and that LAKR was unable to breach it.
