The shocking yet comical incident unfolded on the last ball of the 14th over when MI New York were chasing 224 runs against the Texas Super Kings in the MLC 2025 clash at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas. It was one of the expensive overs of the clash where 23 runs were scored.

The ball rolled helplessly to the boundary ropes, gifting Pollard four runs he never even chased. A simple single ended up as four gifted runs, thanks to Saiteja Mukkamalla’s fielding horror. It was certainly one of the most bizarre fielding gaffes of the MLC 2025 season.

Kieron Pollard’s blitz in vain as Texas Super Kings seal MLC 2025 Playoff spot
Earlier, the West Indies all-rounder had already smashed three back-to-back sixes against Noor, and then Mukkamalla made things worse for TSK by gifting four runs to MINY. However, TSK bowlers managed to restrict MINY to 184/9 to win the game by 39 runs at the Grand Prairie Stadium.

Akeal Hosein shines with the ball against MI New York
In reply, MI New York made a bold move by sending Nicholas Pooran to open, but Marco Jansen got rid of him for just 8 runs off 7 balls. Quinton de Kock (35) looked dangerous, but Akeal Hosein’s wicket maiden and Noor Ahmad’s tight spell turned the game in favor of TSK.
But Pollard didn’t get the support he needed at the other end. TSK’s bowlers stayed calm under pressure and closed out the game in style. Akeal Hosein was the standout bowler for TSK, while Noor Ahmed and Marcus Stoinis each scalped two wickets against MINY in the MLC 2025 clash.
