The Texas Super Kings are flying high with 2 wins from 2 matches. Their next assignment is against the finalists from the maiden season, i.e., the Seattle Orcas, at the Oakland Coliseum in California. The Super Kings have been brilliant so far, with two wins to their name. On the other hand, Orcas are still eyeing their first win of the season and currently languishing right at the bottom.
The Orcas have so far played only one game against the Washington Freedom and lost by 5 wickets. Orcas will be coming all prepared in this contest to tame a tough-looking Texas Super Kings outfit. On the other hand, Texas Super Kings have won two games in a row against MI New York and Los Angeles Knight Riders.
With two wins in their kitty, the Super Kings would be eyeing the pole position on the points table with a win in this contest. Seattle Orcas could surprise Texas Super Kings in this match with a big win, given the powerful batting lineup they have at their disposal. Let’s delve deeper into this post for the TEX vs SEA Dream11 prediction.

Texas Super Kings and Seattle Orcas have clashed three times in Major League Cricket so far, with Seattle holding the edge in the rivalry. Led by Heinrich Klaasen, the Orcas have claimed two victories out of the three encounters. However, it was Texas who had the last laugh in their most recent meeting, securing a convincing 37-run win in the previous edition.
The pitch at Oakland Coliseum for Match 7 of MLC 2025 between the Texas Super Kings and Seattle Orcas promises a well-balanced contest. Early on, fast bowlers are likely to thrive, thanks to the fresh drop-in surface that offers seam movement and extra bounce with the new ball. Batting becomes more fluent as the innings progresses, especially under lights, when the true bounce and quick outfield come into play. In the latter stages of the match, the surface tends to slow down slightly, allowing spinners to make an impact, particularly in the second innings. The average first-innings score at this venue is around 227, and teams batting first have won four of the six games played here so far.
