New Zealand all-rounder Michael Bracewell indicated the DRS review after being a clean-boole during the MLC 2025 match between MI New York and San Francisco Unicorn during the MLC 2025 match. Michael Bracewell Monday, June 23 (local) was rejected for a golden duck during his side’s run chase in Dallas.

Watch – Comley Review after bowling Michael Bracewell
The incident occurred in the 17th over in the innings of MI New York. After Quinton de Cock was dismissed for 70 runs off 46 balls, Michael Bracewell arrived at the crease. New Zealand all -rounder attempted a bridge shot on a delivery, which was not quite low and the ball was bowled due to crashing in his closed stump.

Bracewell spontaneously indicated to a DRS review, thinking that he was given LBW. He quickly realized his mistake when he turned to see the broken stump behind him. Bracewell pointed his pads to Unicorn’s captain Matt Short, seeming that before walking out of the field, trying to explain his confusion.

San Francisco Shines with Unicorn all-round show
San Francisco Unicorn gave a all -round performance to win a comfortable win over MI New York. Unicorns posted a large scale on 246/4, with Matthew Short scored 91 off 43 balls. Jake Fraser-Makegurk scored 64 runs in just 26 balls, while Hasan Khan ended with 31 nose out of nine balls.
Kieron Pollard was a bowlers’ pickle for MI, who were ending with 2/31, but the rest of the attack fought to include the attack.
In response, MI New York landed for a strong start in a 119 -run partnership with Quinton de Kock and Monak Patel. Monak scored 60 runs in 33 balls, but his dismissal of Liam Plunkett started collapse.
Nicholas Goran (15) and Michael Bracewell were rejected by Romario Shepherd. Pollard scored 34 off 16 balls, but Mi New York could manage only 199/6. Shepherd and Xavier Bartlett claimed two wickets, helping Unicorn to seal the 47 -run win.
Hard days for us, credit for them – Nicholas Gariban
After the defeat, MI New York captain Nicolas Goran admitted that it was a difficult day for his side. He admitted that MI’s bowling unit failed to execute its plans effectively.
“Hard day for us, credit for him. We did not execute our plans as a bowling group. (If the target was too much). If we chased it, it would be a great chase. The inaugural partnership gave us a chance, but gave them a chance, he bowled well in the mid -stage,” Gauran said.
“We have some difficult games (in their poor form), it is challenging when other teams are also playing well. We need to go out of our plans again and come out with better execution of those plans.”
