SO vs TSK Team Previews

Seattle Orcas

Shayan Jahangir returns to a venue where he hit 89 runs against Canada in an ODI in May for the USA. Steven Taylor has struggled for form in his local T20 league. His T20 record of over 1700 runs proves there is still a quality player in him though. Shimron Hetmyer has been the shining light in a batting unit which hasn’t clicked often enough.

Before a failure of only five runs against the Washington Freedom, Hetmyer hit scores of 97 not out, 64 not out and 78 not out. Aaron Jones has generally had a sedate tournament with the bat. He does still have a half-century against Los Angeles Knight Riders in his possession this season.

Heinrich Klaasen was the only batter to show any character against the Washington Freedom. The South African fell two runs short of a half-century after scoring 48 runs off 39 balls.

Sikandar Raza may not have blown opposition away in this MLC, but the Zimbabwean has 88 runs and five wickets to his name for 2025. Kyle Mayers is another all-rounder who has blown hot and cold this season. The West Indian’s best takeaway from the tournament is currently his 88-run innings against MI New York.

Harmeet Singh is part of the side’s pace backbone. The American claimed a wicket against the Freedom. Gerald Coetzee is also part of the pace battery. The young South African has five wickets for MLC 2025. Wrist-spinner Waqar Salamkheil has gone along nicely with six wickets this tournament.

Jasdeep Singh has lacked any bite this campaign but does have ten wickets in his MLC career.

Seattle Orcas Expected Playing 11

Shayan Jahangir (wk), Steven Taylor, Aaron Jones, Sikandar Raza (c), Heinrich Klaasen, Kyle Mayers, Shimron Hetmyer, Harmeet Singh, Gerald Coetzee, Jasdeep Singh, Waqar Salamkheil

Texas Super Kings

Wicketkeeper Smit Patel will fancy his chances at Lauderhill. The American banged a knock of 152 not out in an ODI against Canada at the ground in May this year. Captain Faf du Plessis is unlikely to come up short in this fixture, after cracking two centuries and a half-century this year already. Young American Saiteja Mukkamalla has chipped in nicely after scoring 34 runs against the San Francisco Unicorns. Fellow American Shubham Ranjane also added value with a clam 28 runs against them.

Marcus Stoinis brings genuine all round value. His biggest contribution against San Francisco was through three wickets with the ball. Donovan Ferreira has been the side’s firepower after the powerplay. The South African smashed 39 runs off 20 balls in his previous innings. Perhaps still finding his rhythm recently, Calvin Savage can reminisce about his unbeaten half-century to kickstart his tournament.

Texas’ bowling threat has come from the left-armers of Akeal Hosein, Nandre Burger and Noor Ahmad. They each claimed a wicket in the previous game. Mohammad Mohsin’s impact has been neat. The leg-spinner has 17 MLC wickets in his career.

SO vs TSK Toss Prediction

The teams may prefer bowling first. In Texas’ previous match, the side opted to bowl first after rain affected play before the start of that match.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

Both teams have a win and a loss at Lauderhill in 2025. For three of the four night matches at the venue this season, sides chasing have seen better results. The weather leading up should be a noteworthy factor in why teams batting second may get the rub of the green on this pitch. You can expect the seamers in the first innings to be a handful. The batters should settle down in the second innings with potentially easier batting conditions.

The weather prediction for Lauderhill predicts mostly cloudy conditions with a 20 percent chance of rain. Temperatures will remain hot and humid through the day and night.

SO vs TSK: Who Will Win?

The Texas Super Kings can walk into this clash with a huge sigh of relief after already qualifying for the play-offs. The Seattle Orcas cannot afford to slip up if they are to remain hunting the fourth and final spot in the play-offs. The Texas Super Kings have won double the number of games that the Seattle Orcas have won, putting them as firm favourites.
