In reply, MI New York looked dangerous for the first 10 overs. Monank Patel and Quinton de Kock launched the chase with intent, with Patel attacking during the powerplay and racing to a quick fifty. However, once Patel fell to a Liam Plunkett slower ball, MI New York lost momentum.
The Unicorns bowlers shifted tactics brilliantly, using slower deliveries and wide lines to stifle the big hitters. Nicholas Pooran could not find any rhythm and fell after a tight review. Romario Shepherd then wrapped up the middle order, claiming two wickets in his final over including De Kock for 70.
