Heinrich Klaasen to score Over 26.5

Devon Conway to score Over 25.5
Devon Conway is the man in form for Texas Super Kings this season. He has scored 99 runs in 2 innings, including a 50 at a strike-rate of 150. Expect him to be amongst runs again.
Faf du Plessis to score Over 23.5
Texas skipper Faf du plessis hasn't been the man in form so far. However, he is a big match player and would be eager to contribute in a better way in this game. A risky bet, but worth taking.
David Warner to score Over 25.5

Texas Super Kings are eyeing a hattrick of wins
The Texas Super Kings are off to a flying start in MLC 2025 and now have their sights set on a hat-trick of wins. After impressive victories over MI New York, and Los Angeles Knight Riders, the Super Kings have emerged as one of the early frontrunners in the tournament. Their campaign has been powered by a balanced blend of explosive batting and incisive bowling. Devon Conway, Daryl Mitchell, and Donovan Ferreira have all chipped in with crucial cameos, while young Saiteja Mukkamalla has added flair to the top order.
But it’s the bowling unit that’s truly stolen the spotlight. Afghan spinner Noor Ahmad has been sensational, picking up a four-wicket haul against LAKR, while Adam Milne’s pace and precision have rattled opposition top orders. With momentum firmly on their side, Texas will be eager to extend their unbeaten run and tighten their grip on the points table.
As they prepare for their next clash against a struggling Seattle Orcas outfit, TSK will be brimming with confidence. A third consecutive win wouldn’t just boost their playoff hopes, it would also send a strong message to the rest of the league.
Seattle Orcas ned to get going on the points table
Seattle Orcas is the only team, along with Los Angeles Knight Riders, that hasn’t won a game this season. Despite a strong core in the batting unit, the Orcas couldn’t really threaten the reigning champions, Washington Freedom, in their tournament opener and succumbed to a 5-wicket loss. With a loss in their opening game, Orcas find themselves reeling right at the bottom of the points table.
The Heinrich Klaasen-led side has many big and established names in the batting unit. But its their bowling that lacks experience and needs to do better. Their bowling was completely flattened in the last game as the reigning champions, Washington Freedom, chased down 145 in just 13.3 overs. Bowling has to step up, or their batting needs to give bowlers more runs to defend in the upcoming matches. Let’s move ahead and check the cricket tips for TEX vs SEA match.
