Defending champions Washington Freedom are stoked with a win over their archrivals and current table toppers, San Francisco Unicorns, in their previous fixture. They will now head to Lauderhill, Florida, for the 23rd match of the season against a side that just made it to the playoffs, i.e., the Texas Super Kings.
Texas Super Kings, with an impressive win over inaugural champions MI New York in their previous fixture by 39 runs, have booked their playoff berth. They currently sit third on the points table, right behind their opponents, with 5 wins and 2 losses from 7 matches. A win here will propel them to the second spot for now, as their net run rate is way better than Freedom’s.
For Freedom, a win in this match will put a stamp on their finish among the top two in the league stage. The Glenn Maxwell-led side is already on a six-match winning streak and has never lost a single game to the Texas Super Kings in MLC history. With odds in their favor, Freedom will start as the firm favorites. Let’s delve deeper into this post for the LAS vs WAS Dream11 prediction.

TEX vs WAS MLC 2025, Match 23, Lauderhill, Florida, Pitch Report
The pitch at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Lauderhill, Florida, for Match 23 of MLC 2025 between Texas Super Kings and Washington Freedom is expected to be a batting-friendly surface with a true bounce and quick outfield. Historically, this venue has produced high-scoring encounters, especially in the first innings when the pitch is fresh and hard. Seamers might find some early movement if there’s residual morning moisture, but conditions tend to flatten out quickly, favoring aggressive stroke play. As the match progresses, the surface may slow down slightly, bringing spinners into the game during the middle overs. A par score here typically ranges between 170 and 190, though totals above 200 have been chased or defended in past games. Expect a fast-paced contest with plenty of boundaries and a premium on power-hitting.
