First MLC season has each team play just 5 games in the league stage, and second season had each team play 7 games.

In that sense, this is the first full fledged MLC season and finishing 2nd is a testament to TSK’s consistency over a longer period of time.

Match Details – League Stage | MLC 2025

Match: Texas Super Kings vs Washington Freedom
Date: Wednesday, July 3, 2025
Time: 7:30 PM Local | 5:00 AM IST (July 4)
Venue: Grand Prairie Stadium, Dallas

Player Battles to Keep Your Eyes On

Faf du Plessis vs Anrich Nortje
An old-school battle between experience and raw pace. Faf will want to dominate early, but Nortje’s extra bounce and aggression could shake him up. One edge, one misjudgment, and it’s game on.

Devon Conway vs Akeal Hosein
Conway’s calm control meets Hosein’s crafty left-arm spin. Conway loves to rotate strike, but Hosein will look to slow him down and force the sweep shot. A slow-burning contest for the middle overs.

Glenn Phillips vs Zia-ul-Haq
Power vs precision. Phillips can end games in 15 balls, but Zia is a smart death-over operator who thrives under pressure. Expect yorkers, slower balls, and a fierce finish.

Stoinis vs Milne
Two Aussies, one defining battle. Stoinis brings brute strength to the crease, while Milne’s quick-arm pace can disrupt rhythm. It’s timing vs tactics at its best.

Moises Henriques vs Daniel Sams
Henriques brings stability and leadership, Sams brings energy and unpredictability. Whether with bat or ball, this clash could shape the middle and death overs.
