Texas Super Kings have made it to the playoffs and are now looking for a second spot on the points table
The Texas Super Kings have officially sealed their spot in the MLC 2025 playoffs following a commanding 39-run win over MI New York. Powered by a scintillating unbeaten 103 from skipper Faf du Plessis and a fiery 20-ball 53 from Donovan Ferreira, TSK posted a daunting 223/4 before Akeal Hosein’s 3/15 dismantled the opposition’s chase.
Now sitting third on the points table with 8 points and a healthy net run rate of +1.370, the Super Kings are eyeing a top-two finish to secure a direct path to the Qualifier. With just one more league fixture remaining, a win could propel them above Washington Freedom or even challenge San Francisco Unicorns, depending on other results.
Their campaign has been defined by explosive batting, disciplined spin from Noor Ahmad and Hosein, and a well-rounded pace attack. With momentum on their side and key players peaking at the right time, TSK looks poised to make a serious title push. The road to the final may still have a few twists, but the Super Kings have the firepower and now the belief to go all the way.
Washington Freedom must win to almost seal their second spot on the points table
Washington Freedom enters their next fixture of MLC 2025 with high stakes and sharper focus. A win here would almost guarantee them the coveted second spot on the points table, ensuring a direct route to the Qualifier and avoiding the eliminator route.

Their recent form has been electric, Mitchell Owen’s five-wicket haul against the Unicorns and Glenn Phillips’ swashbuckling fifty have turned them into serious title contenders. Handing Unicorns their first defeat of the season, Freedom sit right behind the table-toppers. With six wins from seven matches and a net run rate of +0.603, they’re second to the Unicorns’ +2.016
The team’s balance, explosive top order, versatile all-rounders, and disciplined bowling unit have peaked at the right time.
