It’s the top-of-the-table clash in Major League Cricket 2025. Table toppers San Francisco Unicorns will be locking horns against the Texas Super Kings in match 10 of the competition to be played at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas. This will be the first match of this season at this venue.

Let’s delve deeper into this post for the TEX vs SF Dream11 prediction.
Date: 21st June 2025 Time: 5:30 AM IST Venue: Grand Prairie Stadium, Dallas
Matches Played: 3 SF won: 1 TEX won: 2 No Result: 0 Tied: 0
Across the two seasons of MLC, three games have been played between San Francisco and Texas. The Faf du Plessis-led Super Kings have the upper hand with 2 wins, whereas Corey Anderson and his men have managed to beat the Super Kings once.
The pitch at Grand Prairie Stadium for Match 10 of MLC 2025 between Texas Super Kings and San Francisco Unicorns is expected to offer a well-balanced contest. Early in the innings, fast bowlers can extract decent bounce and carry, especially under lights, making the new ball phase slightly challenging for batters. However, as the surface settles, it becomes increasingly favorable for stroke play, with the ball coming nicely onto the bat. The outfield is quick, rewarding timing and placement, while the large square boundaries demand calculated aggression. Spinners may find some grip during the middle overs, but overall, it remains a surface where batters can thrive once set. A first-innings total in the range of 170–180 should be considered competitive, with chasing under pressure potentially tricky due to subtle wear on the pitch and scoreboard pressure.
