On one side, TSK came in with just four bowlers and a part-timer bowling four overs, while Ranjane and Savage remained one-dimensional.
On the other side, SFU managed to defend 148 despite their main bowler Haris Rauf getting injured & going out of action after bowling a over!

This is the most thrilling phase of Major League Cricket 2024. The San Francisco Unicorns will face the Texas Super Kings in the Challenger game, hoping to advance to the final. The Unicorns lost to the Washington Freedom in their last game and will look to rebound. The Texas Super Kings defeated MI New York in the Eliminator so that the team will be confident. The Unicorns never defeated the Texas Super Kings, and they lost to them earlier this season. Their batsmen must regain confidence after a poor performance in the previous game. The Texas Super Kings’ batsmen are in good form, and they won the last game by a large margin. We expect a close game between the two teams as they compete for a spot in the final.

SFU vs TSK Key Players

Corey Anderson

Before his back injury, Corey Anderson was hot potential in international cricket. His explosive batting and ability to chip in with some key overs made him a valuable player. His injury though turned his career around quickly leaving him to go off the radar. Now though, Anderson has the opportunity to get back in the spotlight with a big tournament ahead..

Dwayne Bravo

Dwayne Bravo is back as a player in yellow after spending the last few months coaching the Chennai Super Kings bowlers. At 39 it will be interesting to see what new tricks he has up his sleeve with a lot of experience behind him.

SFU vs TSK Match Tips

SFU and TSK are both in pretty good positions, however on recent form with SFU coming in off two consecutive wins they could be slight favorites.
