And that’s a wrap from this exciting clash between the Texas Super Kings and the Seattle Orcas.
For now, this is me, Hiren Kumar, signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Saptak and our scorer/analyst Ashok Dayma.
Thank you for joining us. Stay tuned to CREX for more cricketing action from around the globe. Until next time, goodbye and take care!
Faf du Plessis (Player of the Match & Texas Super Kings Captain): "I have always enjoyed my cricket with responsibility. I enjoy that. I feel captaincy keeps me involved. I was thinking that Donovan was in good form and I felt that it was safe for me to retire out. The nature of the surface was good.
It becomes better when you spend some time in the middle. I feel when you have hitters in the side, I don't mind sending them early. Yeah, the squad is better and we have adapted to the venues very well. We try to play according to the conditions and play attacking cricket. The focus was on to finish on top 2 and that's over now. Thank you."

Time for the post-match presentations.
Sikandar Raza (Seattle Orcas Captain): "I thought the wicket was okay. At one point it seemed that they will get 200 but our bowlers did well. Their spinners controlled the middle over too well and Milne did the rest. Hettie (Shimron Hetmyer) put his hands up to win us a few games in this season.
Our target was to not lose wickets in the powerplay. We, the seniors should've taken more responsibility. But we lost a cluster of wickets. Sometimes you have to raise your hat to applaud the opposition.
I can say that this season has not gone really well. I can speak for myself and I want to say that I've had an average tournament. Hopefully, in the next season onwards, we will come up with a better plan."

8:23 AM IST & 10:53 PM Local Time | TSK win by 51 runs! A massive victory for the Kings and they further strengthen their position on the points table. All smiles in the dugout for them. They move from third to first on the points table now. Their NRR has also improved significantly now.
Put into bat first, the Texas Super Kings got off to a steady start, showing caution against the new ball. As the pitch began to ease out, the batters made the most of it. Skipper Faf du Plessis was in sublime touch at the top, crafting a classy 91 off just 52 deliveries. Unfortunately, he had to retire hurt in the 19th over while in the 90s, denying him a well-deserved century.
He was ably supported by Shubham Ranjane in the middle order, who played a crucial unbeaten knock of 65 from 41 balls, anchoring the innings and taking TSK to a strong total of 188/4.
With the ball, the Seattle Orcas struggled to contain the flow of runs during the powerplay and middle overs. However, they managed to pull things back slightly towards the end. Jasdeep Singh and Cameron Gannon were the only wicket-takers, claiming one wicket each.
In the chase, it was all about the Texas Super Kings’ bowling attack. With momentum on their side, the TSK bowlers were clinical from the get-go. They kept the pressure on, picking up wickets at regular intervals and never allowing Seattle to find their rhythm.
Adam Milne was the standout performer, delivering a sensational spell of 5/23, becoming only the fourth bowler in MLC history to take a five-wicket haul. The spin duo of Noor Ahmad and Akeal Hosein also played their part to perfection, picking up two wickets apiece.
Seattle Orcas were eventually bowled out for 137, handing TSK a comprehensive 51-run victory.
With this dominant win, the Texas Super Kings climb to the top of the points table.
Stay tuned for the presentation ceremony
