Texas Super Kings (TSK) are set to face Washington Freedom (WAS) in Match No. 23 of the ongoing Major League Cricket (MLC) 2025, scheduled to take place at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Lauderhill on Thursday, July 3.

Texas Super Kings have already secured a spot in the playoffs and currently sit third on the MLC 2025 points table. They faced Washington Freedom earlier in the tournament and suffered a seven-wicket defeat. With a place in the top two still up for grabs, the Texas-based franchise will look to bounce back strongly and improve their standings.

On the other hand, Glenn Maxwell’s Washington Freedom are currently second on the table with 12 points. They will be keen to register another win, which could see them surpass the table-toppers and book a spot in Qualifier 1.

Texas Super Kings skipper Faf du Plessis is the second-highest run-scorer in the tournament currently. The veteran South African has been in sublime form, scoring 317 runs in seven innings at an impressive average of 52.83, including two centuries. His ability to anchor the innings and provide stability at the top will be crucial to the team’s chances of securing a win and pushing for a top-two finish.

Probable Best Bowler: Saurabh Netravalkar

The left-arm pacer Saurabh Netravalkar will be a crucial figure with the ball for Washington Freedom in the upcoming clash. While he has not been among the top wicket-takers this season, his disciplined line and length have proven effective in restricting batters from scoring freely.
