TSK vs SEA - (X.com)
For the last match of the group stage game of MLC 2024, the Texas Super Kings will lock horns against the Seattle Orcas at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Texas on July 24.
It is a dead rubber game, as Texas Super Kings have already qualified for the playoffs, while Seattle Orcas finished last in the table with just one win in six games.
This article will shed light on the preview, pitch report, and probable XI of the upcoming game between the Texas Super Kings and Seattle Orcas.
Team Preview
Texas Super Kings
TSK are shining under the leadership of Faf du Plessis, as the skipper is leading from the front and is the leading run-getter in this edition.
Meanwhile, the skipper also scored a fifty in the last game, but the outcome went against the Super Kings. Notably, in their last game, TSK suffered a 42-run defeat against Washington Freedom.
The middle-order is low on confidence as they failed to perform in the last game, but again eyes would be on veteran Dwayne Bravo to do the magic with the ball as he even took a three-wicket haul against Washington Freedom.
Seattle Orcas
Talking about the Seattle Orcas, their only win in the tournament came against the Los Angeles Knight Riders. Even in their last game, they suffered a six-wicket defeat against San Francisco Unicorns.
Despite having the likes of Quinton de Kock and skipper Heinrich Klaasen, Orcas have failed to perform. One of the reasons is the lack of international star players. In the bowling, as usual, they would rely on Lungi Ngidi to do the magic.
