De Kock builds the buffer

Quinton de Kock set up the match with a composed 61 off 46, giving MI New York the platform they needed before the finish got messy. Seattle Orcas, sparked by Marcus Stoinis, dragged the chase into the final overs, but MINY held their nerve to win by five runs. With wickets falling late in both innings, it became a game of small margins: one clean over, one mistimed hit, one extra boundary.

Powerplay gap decides it

The clearest difference came in the first six overs. MINY surged to 51/1 at 8.5 an over, while Seattle crawled to 29/2, immediately turning a tricky chase into a steep one. Even though the middle overs were broadly similar (MINY 60/3, SO 58/4), the Orcas were always chasing the powerplay deficit. Their late burst of 40 in the last four overs kept the contest alive, but it was compensating for the damage already done.

Stoinis’ all-round near-heist

Stoinis was the standout across both innings: 3/14 in four overs strangled MINY’s momentum, then his 36 off 31 anchored Seattle’s best resistance. Romario Shepherd’s 3/16 was just as decisive, repeatedly breaking partnerships and forcing the Orcas to reset. De Kock’s 61 was the innings that mattered most, though — it created the cushion MINY needed to survive a nervy death phase of 21/4.

Pre-match split, match went early

Forecasts leaned slightly Seattle, banking on tighter middle-overs control and late-overs execution. Instead, MINY flipped the script by winning the powerplay decisively, with de Kock’s tempo and a 47-run stand with Nicholas Pooran taking the new ball out of the contest. Seattle’s strengths did show up later — Stoinis’ spell and a late hitting push — but starting at 4.8 an over in the powerplay left too much for the endgame.
