The Texas Super Kings (TSK) secured a resounding victory in the seventh match of the Major Cricket League (MLC) 2025, defeating the Seattle Orcas (SO) by a massive margin of 93 runs. Their bowlers delivered a dominant performance to achieve this win.
Sports News: Monday's seventh match of the Major League Cricket (MLC) 2025 will be remembered as one of the most one-sided matches in cricket history. Faf du Plessis's Texas Super Kings (TSK) inflicted a crushing 93-run defeat on the Seattle Orcas (SO), securing their third win and climbing to second place in the points table.
The match proved to be a nightmare for the Seattle Orcas, whose entire team was bowled out for a mere 60 runs. Eight batsmen failed to reach double figures, completely overwhelmed by the TSK bowlers.
Dominant Batting and Bowling Performance
Texas Super Kings won the toss and opted to bat first. However, the opening partnership was short-lived, with Devon Conway scoring 13 and captain Faf du Plessis managing only 7 runs before being dismissed. Sai Tej Mukkamala (30 runs), Daryl Mitchell (25 runs), and Marcus Stoinis (28 runs) then steadied the innings, guiding the team to 153/6. While this score might seem modest, considering the pitch conditions and bowling, it proved sufficient to secure victory.
Bowlers' Domination: Seattle's Innings Reduced to a Farce
Chasing 153, the Seattle Orcas never looked in contention. They were bowled out for 60 runs in just 13.5 overs, the second-lowest total in MLC history. The TSK bowlers denied any batsman the opportunity to settle. Jia-ul-Haq, Nandre Burger, and Noor Ahmad each claimed three wickets, shattering the backbone of the Seattle Orcas' batting line-up.
Eight Seattle Batsmen Failed to Reach Double Figures.
These included David Warner (9), Kyle Myers (0), Heinrich Klaasen (0), Sikandar Raza (4), Sujit Nayak (5), Harmeet Singh (0), Obed McCoy (3), and Steven Taylor (4). The batting collapse was so severe that even experienced captain Klaasen failed to open his account. TSK's bowling was not only incisive but also strategically sound.
All three leading bowlers maintained a precise line and length, effectively restricting runs while taking wickets. Slowers, yorkers, googlies, and bouncers – the bowlers expertly employed their full arsenal. This hat-trick win takes Texas Super Kings to 6 points, securing them second place in the points table. Meanwhile, Seattle Orcas, suffering their second consecutive defeat, find themselves at the bottom.
