Match 15: Texas Super Kings vs Los Angeles Knight Riders

Major League Cricket 2025

Date: Tomorrow
Time: 5:30 AM IST
Venue: Grand Prairie Cricket Stadium, Dallas

Texas Super Kings (TSK)
Faf du Plessis –He may be one of the oldest in the squad, but Faf is still one of the sharpest. Calm, composed, and classy — if he gets going early, LAKR’s bowlers are in for a long morning.

Devon Conway –He doesn't make a lot of noise — but by the time you notice, he's already scored 40. The Kiwi left-hander is known for smart cricket and clean finishing.

Akeal Hosein –When big hitters are looking to launch, Akeal quietly slides in with his flat, accurate spin. He’s the kind of bowler who makes batsmen second-guess themselves.

Daryl Mitchell –You won’t hear much from him, but Mitchell shows up exactly when TSK needs him. Can hold the innings or launch a late assault — a true all-rounder.

Los Angeles Knight Riders (LAKR)
Alex Hales –If Hales gets even 15 minutes at the crease, the scoreboard will fly. Expect brutal powerplay hitting and possibly a ball or two lost in the parking lot.

Andre Russell –Whether it's smashing 30 off 10 or picking up a key wicket, Russell is LAKR’s chaos machine. You never know what’s coming — and that’s what makes him so dangerous.

Jason Holder –Not flashy, but always effective. Holder quietly picks up key wickets or builds partnerships, and you’ll realize how valuable he is only after the match.

Tanveer Sangha –Young, fearless, and smart. Tanveer’s leg-spin might just be the surprise package. Don’t be shocked if he ends up as the game-changer.

Alex Hales vs Naveen‑ul‑Haq / Zia‑ul‑Haq: A pretty good exchange there between Hales and these two young bowlers.
