During the high-stakes clash at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas, the Major League Cricket 2025 (MLC 2025) match between the Texas Super Kings and MI New York witnessed a bizarre fielding moment that fans won’t forget anytime soon. MI New York’s all-rounder Kieron Pollard was in utter disbelief after he was gifted four runs due to a fielding fumble.

Fielding mistakes are part of the game, but a double fumble is such a rare sight. The bizarre moment happened on the final ball of the 14th over during MI New York’s chase of a steep 224-run target. Kieron Pollard, who was already in top gear, drove a full delivery from Noor Ahmad to long-off in an attempt to take a single.

With the over ending, Pollard casually jogged towards the non-striker’s end such that he could be back on strike in the next over. As it turned out, he was rewarded with four runs.

Saiteja Mukkamalla, stationed at long-off, made a complete mess of it. He misjudged the bounce and allowed the ball to slip past him. When he tried to recover, a rushed throw turned into another fumble before the ball rolled all the way to the boundary ropes. What should have been a single turned into four runs, and Pollard stood at the non-striker’s end, grinning in disbelief.

It was a moment of fielding chaos that summed up MI New York’s night, a match they couldn’t quite pull back despite Pollard’s late fireworks. While Pollard’s 70 off 39 balls (five fours and five sixes) kept the chase alive, it wasn’t really enough. MI New York finished at 184/9, falling short by 39 runs.

Earlier, Texas Super Kings skipper Faf du Plessis led from the front with a commanding century. Donovan Ferreira added fuel to the fire by pitching in with a blistering fifty, which is the joint-fastest of the season, and pushed TSK to a massive 223.

MI New York bowlers had brief success. George Linde and Rushil Ugarkar took two wickets each, but their efforts weren’t enough to contain the flow of runs.

In the second innings, TSK’s bowlers turned up under pressure. Akeal Hosein was sensational with a wicket maiden and an almost second one. Noor Ahmad and Marcus Stoinis picked up two wickets apiece. Despite a bold move to promote Nicholas Pooran as opener, MI New York lost early ground and never quite recovered.
