TSK vs SO: In a rain delayed match which was reduced to just 5 overs, Texas Super Kings defeated Washington Freedom by 43 runs.
Washington Freedom won the toss and decided to bowl first. Marcus Stoinis and Daryl Mitchell opened the innings, but the stand-in skipper couldn’t score more than two runs and got out in the first over. Shubham Ranjane started hitting big, but Daryl Mitchell was looking a little bit off and was retired hurt as Donovan Ferreira came to the crease and lit up the arena with his nine balls 37 runs. Shubham Ranjane supported the cause and scored 39 runs to take their team to a total of 87 runs in 5 overs.
Rachind Ravindra and Mitchell Owen opened the innings for Washington Freedom. The left-handed batter hit a boundary and a six to give a good start to the chase, but Nandre Burger made a comeback and picked up the wicket of Rachin Ravindra in the next delivery. He dismissed Washington Freedom’s skipper Glenn Maxwell to turn the game in his team’s favor. Batters afterward failed to do anything significant as TSK bowlers restricted the WSF to 44 runs.

MLC, 2025, Match 23rd: TSK vs WSF| Captains’ Corner
“It’s good for our result. The boys did really well. Don [Donovan] said it a lot. Akeal bowled brilliantly. So, I can’t complain. [Bat first or second in short games] I think always in a short game, you want to chase and see what you’re chasing. But when you make that many runs, it obviously puts a lot of pressure on the other team. And then once we used Akeal and saw that it was spinning and holding a little bit, that made it pretty easy for the rest of the innings to know who to bowl, at least. [Tactical retirement] I think it’s going to be used more and more. I think today was an extenuating circumstance. I mean, in only a five-over game, Darryl hardly faced a ball; he got caught up on the striker’s end, and it was more about the fact that we had Don that we were saving from the first two overs and wanted to send him in for the last three overs that we thought was a good chance of happening anyway. It just so happened that it was Daryl who had to come off and make way. But I wouldn’t read too much into it from that point of view.
Marcus Stoinis(TSK Captain) said post-match
Well, if we were able to change our team, we might have put one in there. I think they probably had two quality high-class spinners, and we had two all-rounders, so we were trying to go with what worked. and the first three overs went to plan. they bowled really nicely, and I thought it was the right decision to bowl those two guys the next two overs. They obviously had the score on the board. It was always going to be a tough ask, and you need a lot to go right. When you’re chasing a score like that, and unfortunately, we just weren’t able to get any sort of momentum throughout the innings. As I said, two quality spinners on a wicket that’s obviously going to turn, and unfortunately, we didn’t really have that available to us.”
