MI New York crowned MLC 2025 champions; Mumbai Indians' global domination continues

The Mumbai Indians family has done it again as MI New York won their second Major League Cricket (MLC) title by beating Washington Freedom in a close final by just 5 runs at the Grand Prairie Stadium.

Quinton de Kock was the star of the night as he smashed a brilliant 77 runs from 46 balls, including six fours and four sixes, to help MI New York post a solid 180/7 in their 20 overs. He was well supported by Monank Patel (28) and captain Nicholas Pooran (21) as the team built two important partnerships.

In reply, Washington Freedom fought hard with a superb 70 off 41 balls from New Zealand’s Rachin Ravindra and a strong unbeaten 48 from Glenn Phillips, but they could only manage 175/5. MI’s bowlers kept things tight in the end, making sure the trophy stayed in the MI camp.
