The Eliminator will be played between MI New York and San Francisco Unicorns, as the winner will advance to Qualifier 2. Just before the beginning of the playoffs, the San Francisco Unicorns suffered a huge blow.
Playing for the Unicorns, Finn Allen amassed 333 runs in 9 games, with a record-shattering 151 in the first game against Washington Freedom. His injury has ruled him out of the upcoming tri-series that New Zealand will play in Zimbabwe.
According to New Zealand Cricket, Finn Allen's recovery time can only be decided after he returns to New Zealand. New Zealand would hence name a replacement for the player in the meantime for the Tri-series. New Zealand begins their T20I series against South Africa at Harare on the 16th of July.
The winner of the Eliminator will play against the Texas Super Kings in Qualifier 2
The Washington Freedom and the Texas Super Kings made it to Qualifier 1, having emerged as the top two teams on the points table. Qualifier 1 of MLC 2025 was unfortunately washed out, hence denying the Texas Super Kings a fair chance.
Texas Super Kings will now have to feature in the Qualifier 2 match against the winner of the Eliminator, either the San Francisco Unicorns or MI New York. The winner would then go on to feature against Washington Freedom, who are looking to defend their title in the final.
San Francisco Unicorns also miss the star all-rounder for the Eliminator
The West Indies all-rounder was a crucial contributor with the bat at times and picked up 8 wickets for them in 5 games. He has returned to Guyana to play for the Guyana Amazon Warriors in the Global Super League 2025.
