SFU vs MINY Dream11 Prediction Today | Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report – MLC 2025 Eliminator

Match Preview

As we have now reached the playoff stages in the ongoing Major League Cricket tournament, the stakes are higher than ever before. The San Francisco Unicorns will take on MI New York in an Eliminator on Wednesday as both teams fight to keep themselves alive in this competition. The winner will face either Washington Freedom or Texas Super Kings in Qualifier 2.

The San Francisco Unicorns were the first team to qualify for the knockouts but their form has seen a dip over the last week. Nevertheless, they have plenty of quality players and we expect them to bounce back. On the other hand, MI New York, despite having some of the biggest names in T20 cricket, is struggling at the moment and will be desperate for a turnaround.

Haris Rauf missed the last match due to an injury and his availability for this match isn’t yet confirmed. Romario Shepherd is also likely to miss this game.

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

We are expecting a good batting surface for this match. The flat and hard surface offers plenty of pace and bounce, allowing the batsmen to play their shots with ease. The team batting first should aim for the 200-run mark. The weather has been cloudy over the past few days and we can expect some drizzle during the day.

SFU vs MINY Dream11 Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

Finn Allen is the top choice here. While he hasn’t played well in the last few matches, he is among the leading run-scorers of the season and has a good record at this venue. We are selecting Nicholas Pooran thanks to his past credentials.

Batters

Monank Patel, Jake Fraser-McGurk, and Sanjay Krishnamurthy are our three choices here as they have been pretty consistent throughout the season.

All Rounders

Both teams have some solid all-rounders. We are selecting Matthew Short, Michael Bracewell, and Hassan Khan.

Bowlers

Xavier Bartlett is the leading wicket-taker of the tournament and is an automatic choice. We are selecting Trent Boult as his new-ball partner. Noshtush Kenjige coked in as a specialist spinner.

SFU vs MINY Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

Captain

Matthew Short is the obvious choice as the captain of our team. He has been a brilliant all-rounder and also has the most points among all players in this match.

Vice-Captain

We are selecting Nicholas Pooran as the vice-captain of the team. While he hasn’t been at his fluent best, Pooran is among the most explosive batsmen in the league and if he gets going, he could make a huge difference.
