टेक्सास सुपर किंग्स तीन लगातार जीत के लिए तैयार हैं

Texas Super Kings aim to make it three in a row

Texas Super Kings are off to a strong start in their Major League Cricket (MLC) campaign this season, with two wins in two games placing them second on the table.

Their victory over Los Angeles Knight Riders was far more straightforward. TSK first posted 181/4, with contributions from across the batting order before unleashing their bowling attack. Noor Ahmad stood out with a four-wicket haul.

Next up are the Seattle Orcas. A win here would give TSK three wins in three matches, putting them level with table-toppers San Francisco Unicorns.

The Orcas currently sit at the bottom of the table after a heavy five-wicket loss to defending champions Washington Freedom. Their batters struggled to score once the ball got older. It didn't help that Freedom chased the 146-run target in only 13.3 overs.

The Heinrich Klaasen-led side would be hoping for a much improved showing with the bat, especially against a Super Kings attack that has claimed 18 of the 20 wickets on offer so far.
