MLC 2023: Most Runs and Most Wickets standings: David Miller and Mohammad Mohsin lead the charts – Updated after Match 1

Wickets and runs galore at the Grand Prairie Cricket Stadium as Texas Super Kings locked horns with Los Angeles Knight during the inaugural match of the 2023 MLC league. The crowd became witness to some blistering knocks, followed by some sensational bowling spells that kept the crowd on the edge of their seats for the most part.

Los Angeles Knight Riders opted to field and put Texas Super Kings to bat first. Devon Conway and David Miller played some entertaining cricket during the initial hours of the game which firmly put Texas Super Kings in the driving seat. The duo put on a blistering stand of 77 (49) which gave Super Kings a robust platform to power through the latter stages.

A quickfire partnership between Bravo and Salvage ensured that Texas finish their first innings on a high with a total of 181/6. Los Angeles Knight Riders got off to a very shaky start with the bat.

They shockingly lost their first four batters inside three overs which put them off course. Russell fought a lost battle as he notched up 55 (34). But with no regular support from the other end, Knight Riders were eventually bundled out for 112.
