MLC 2025: Predicting Texas Super Kings Playing XI for the clash against LA Knight Riders

The Texas Super Kings had started the season well, winning three consecutive games. Texas saw its unbeaten start to the Major League Cricket 2025 season snapped when it lost to the San Francisco Unicorns. Matthew Short and his side won the game by seven wickets as the Unicorns chased down the 199 runs needed to win with 23 balls left to play.

Skipper Faf du Plessis speaking at the end of the game said, “This was a nice wicket to bat on, had to make sure we did better. I feel we were 20-25 runs short on this pitch. You have to use the ground to your advantage and be better in the field. The foundation was there today to score 220, we missed out there”

Here is the likely TSK vs LAKR

Top order – Devon Conway, Faf du Plessis

New Zealand batter Devon Conway has been one of the most consistent performers in the T20 format. The 33-year-old has already scored 135 runs from four games with one half-century. After a slow start to the season, TSK skipper Faf du Plessis has finally found some form, scoring a century in the last game. Du Plessis has scored 133 runs from four games and will want to continue his newfound form with the bat.

Middle Order – M Saiteja, Marcus Stoinis, Daryl Mitchell

Young USA batter Saiteja has played four games so far, scoring 104 runs from four matches with an average of 26. Saiteja is being spoken about highly in the US cricket circuit, and the 21-year-old will need to do better with the bat. Marcus Stoinis has played two games in the MLC 2025 season and scored 29 runs so far, and also picked up one wicket. Stoinis is a very good player, and his experience in this format will come in handy for TSK going ahead. Daryl Mitchell has been a key player for TSK, scoring 79 runs with the bat and also taking two wickets this season.

Lower-order- Calvin Savage, Shubham Ranjane, Noor Ahmad

Calvin Savage has been a key batter for TSK lower down the order, scoring 72 runs from games and was dismissed just once. 31-year-old Shubham Ranjane is a very good lower-order batter and also can do well with the ball. Ranjane has scored 39 runs from three games and is yet to take a wicket. Noor Ahmad has been the main bowler for TSK with eight wickets from four games this season.

Tail enders – Zia Ul Haq, Mohammad Mohsin, Adam Milne

Left-arm seamer Zia Ul Haq has made a slow start to the MLC 2025 season, taking just four wickets so far. Mohammad Mohsin has played two games so far and taken two wickets, and will want to contribute more for TSK in the coming games. Adam Milne has bowled well with the new ball and done well with the change of pace as well. Milne has picked up six wickets from three games so far.
