MI New York all-rounder Kieron Pollard gave his team a huge breakthrough by dismissing Seattle Orcas’ Matthew Breetzke at a crucial stage, but at the same time, he gave an injury scare during the ongoing Major League Cricket 2026 (MLC 2026) at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas.
Breetzke was looking well set and marching towards his fifty, but Pollard had different plans during the 25th match of the ongoing Major League Cricket 2026 (MLC 2026) on July 11 in Dallas. Amid this, ICC plans stricter franchise cricket rules amid growing match-fixing and betting concerns.
In the 15th over of Seattle Orcas’ successful chase, Kieron Pollard bowled a clever delivery that followed Matthew Breetzke’s movement. The right-handed batter tried to create room by moving away from the stumps and attempted to guide the ball towards the off side.
As Breetzke moved too far across, he left his stumps exposed. While trying to play the shot, he got a thin inside edge, and the ball crashed into the stumps. The dismissal ended Breetzke's impressive innings just six runs short of a well-deserved half-century.
He scored 44 runs from 31 balls with the help of four boundaries and one six, giving the Seattle Orcas a strong platform with his aggressive batting against the MI New York in the MLC 2026 clash.
Kieron Pollard almost injured himself while celebrating Matthew Breetzke's wicket
Pollard was clearly delighted after taking the important wicket. He celebrated with great energy, running across the field and pointing towards his head, showing that the dismissal came because of smart planning and clever bowling rather than just pace or luck.
However, the celebration instantly turned into a worrying moment for MI New York. Pollard appeared to hurt his shoulder while celebrating the wicket.
The legendary all-rounder was clearly seen in discomfort when he walked off the field, leaving everyone hoping that the injury was not serious.

— Cognizant Major League Cricket (@MLCricket) July 10, 2026In a big relief, the former West Indies captain returned to bowl in the final over against the Seattle Orcas. Kieron Pollard sent a cleverly slower full toss to dismiss Ali Sheikh on the fifth ball of the 20th over. Ali charged down the pitch looking for a big hit but only managed a top edge, and Tajinder Dhillon completed a safe catch at deep mid-wicket.
The wicket ended Seattle Orcas' hopes, with MI New York completing a dramatic turnaround in the final over and winning the MLC 2026 match by 17 runs on July 11. With this win, New York jumped to the third spot with 10 points from nine games so far, but their negative NRR is a headache for them.

Nicholas Pooran hails Kieron Pollard after match-winning heroics
Captain Nicholas Pooran said at the post-match presentation: “We got a little lucky as well. But the West Indian combo of Shepherd and Polly was magnificent for us. There were some pressure moments, but it was wonderful how we came home there. He had a little niggle, but he has to take care of that. Almost 15000 runs in T20s. According to me, he is one of the greatest batters to have played at number 5 or number 6 in this format. All in all, two wonderful points for us.”
