The cricketing spotlight shifts to the Glenville Cricket Complex in New York as the New Jersey Somerset Cavaliers (NJSC) lock horns with the Empire State Titans (EST) in a thrilling encounter as part of the Minor League Cricket 2023. Both NJSC and EST find themselves in the Eastern Division of the league, a group that houses six formidable teams. However, it was a disappointing 2022 for both sides as they failed to make it to the quarter-finals stage.

In their recent outings, New Jersey Somerset Cavaliers (NJSC) have shown promise with a mixed bag of results. Having played three matches, they currently occupy the second position in the Southern Division points table, notching up one win, enduring one loss, and encountering one no-result scenario. In their previous encounter, NJSC found themselves on the wrong end of a 43-run defeat against NEE. While their bowlers, including the likes of Sunny Patel, Saad Bin Zafar, and Gajanand Singh, impressed with two wickets each, the batting unit struggled to make a significant impact.

On the other hand, Empire State Titans (EST) are gearing up for their first match of the season, looking to kickstart their campaign on a positive note. Their performance in the 2022 Minor League Tournament was marked by challenges, having lost four out of their five previous matches. In their last appearance, they went down by 26 runs to The Philadelphians, underlining the need for a strong start this time around. Finishing fourth in the Eastern Division points table in the previous season, EST accumulated six wins and eight losses.
