As we enter the final leg of the group stages in the ongoing Major League Cricket, Texas Super Kings and Washington Freedom will look to secure a top-two finish because that gives them an extra chance of making it to the finals.
Washington Freedom is the defending champion of this season and after losing its opening match, the team has bounced back smartly, winning 6 matches on the bounce. On the other hand, the Texas Super Kings have seen a resurgence of sorts powered by some brilliant individual performances.

There are no updates regarding injuries or Illnesses from either side
We are expecting a pitch that will be much different compared to what we had at Dallas. The surface at Lauderhill tends to help the bowlers as the match goes on. It has been raining here over the past few days and there is forecast for more rain throughout this week. As a result, there will be some moisture that will help the bowlers.
We are likely to see some interruptions due to rain during the match.
Andries Gous has played a couple of decent knocks and is our choice here.
Faf du Plessis has been excellent in the last week and is our top pick. We are selecting Glenn Maxwell.
We are selecting plenty of all-rounders for this match. They include Mitchell Owen, Ian Holland, Jack Edwards, Marcus Stoinis, and Donovan Ferreria.
Since most of our all-rounders are quicker bowlers, we are selecting two full-time spinners in this category, Akeal Hosein and Noor Ahmad.
Mitchell Owen has been brilliant throughout the season and is the natural choice as the captain of our team. He is a quality all-rounder and we expect him to continue playing well.
We are nominating Faf du Plessis as the vice-captain of our team. He is the leading run-scorer of the tournament and has 3 scores of 50+ runs in the last 4 matches, including 2 centuries.
Since the pitch at Lauderhill is likely to be balanced, we have given equal weightage to the batsmen and the bowlers. Also, we are lucky enough to have plenty of all-rounders to choose from, who not only give variety to the bowling but also add depth. We have also selected two spinners as the pitch is likely to slow down as the match progresses.
Mitchell Owen has 909 points from the last 5 matches at an average of 181 points per game.
Faf du Plessis (317), Mitchell Owen (288), Glenn Maxwell (235)
Mitchell Owen (14), Ian Holland (10), Noor Ahmad (10)
Glenn Maxwell (24), Faf du Plessis (22), Mitchell Owen (21)
Donovan Ferreria (214.06), Mitchell Owen (210.21), Rachin Ravindra (197.22)
Akeal Hosein (3.57), Amila Aponso (5.75), Adam Milne (6.77)
