We are in the last leg of the league games in the Major League Cricket 2025. The Seattle Orcas take on the Texas Super Kings in the 28th game, as they look to book a berth in the next round. The Orcas lost to the Washington Freedom in the last game and must do a turnaround. The Super Kings are through to the next round despite their loss against the San Francisco Unicorns in the last game.
The Texas Super Kings have a good record against the Orcas. They have won the last two games that the two sides have played against each other. The side has a formidable batting lineup and will look to capitalize on it. The Orcas had a batting meltdown in the last game and can't afford to lose this game. It will be interesting to see if the team can bounce back with a strong performance.

After three consecutive wins that put their campaign back on track, Sikandar Raza's team suffered a crushing defeat in their last game against Washington Freedom. The side went down by 8 wickets in the last game, where the batting folded like a pack of cards. It is a must-win game for the team to advance to the next round. Raza would like a strong showing from his batters in this game and will rely on his experienced bowling attack to secure the win.
Steven Taylor and Shayan Jahangir failed in the last game, and the team expects an electrifying start from the pair. Kyle Mayers will look to anchor this innings in the middle order and add runs with Raza and Aaron Jones. Heinrich Klaasen and Shimron Hetmyer are powerful strikers, and the team expects them to produce quick runs in the lower middle order.
The bowling attack must get its act right as they take on a strong batting lineup. The team needs a good show with the new ball from Harmeet Singh and Gerald Coetzee. Sikandar Raza has vast experience, and he should excel in the middle overs alongside Waqar Salamkheil. Jasdeep Singh must deliver the goods in the supporting role as the Super Kings will come hard on him.

Faf du Plessis and his men will be upset with the 1-run loss against the San Francisco Unicorns in the last game. They were well on course for a win but lost their nerves towards the end. The side is through to the next round, and du Plessis would like to use this opportunity to build momentum for the next round.
Faf du Plessis has batted well this year, and he will look to lead from the front and deliver a good start with Smit Patel. Marcus Stoinis adds solidity to the middle order, and he will look to build partnerships with Saiteja Mukkamalla and Shubham Ranjane. Donovan Ferreira and Calvin Savage must add quick runs in the lower middle order.
On the bowling front, the team expects a good start from Akeal Hosein and Nandre Burger, as the Seattle Orcas have struggled with the bat. Stoinis and Noor Ahmed will look to keep scoring in check in the middle overs. Mohammad Mohsin and Shubham Ranjane must do well in the supporting role.
Shubham Ranjane has displayed remarkable consistency this season with scores of 28, 39*, 70, 26*, 15*, and 24. He has surpassed 13 runs in all six of his innings, doing so at a rapid strike rate of 164.22. This big-hitting all-rounder has been pivotal for the Texas Super Kings in the death overs. We're backing him to produce another quick-fire cameo with the bat against the Orcas and predict his score to be over 13 runs.

We expect cloudy skies over Florida. The wicket will be tough to bat on as we expect the ball to stop on the batsmen and raise a few doubts in their minds. Batsmen must spend time on this wicket to do well. A score of 180 plus runs would be a fighting total on this surface, with the average first innings score being 163 runs.
Central Broward Regional Park Stadium, Lauderhill, Florida, strikes a balance between the batsmen and the bowlers. The boundaries are short, but the wicket assists the fast bowlers in the early overs, making it challenging for the batsmen. Spinners have done well on this surface in the past, and its slowness helps them.
We predict luck to be in favor of the Texas Super Kings and back them to win the coin toss in Match 28 of Major League Cricket 2025 against the Seattle Orcas.
The average total match score over the last four MLC matches at Central Broward Stadium in Lauderhill is 277.25 runs, indicating it's been a lower-scoring venue, favoring bowlers. Given this is a must-win match for the Seattle Orcas and the Texas Super Kings aiming for a top two finish, we predict a moderate scoring match and the total match score to be under 346 runs.
Florida has tough batting conditions early in the game. In the last six games, the team chasing the score has won four times. There is a forecast of cloudy conditions, which would make batting difficult in the early overs, and we expect the side winning the toss to choose to bowl.
The Seattle Orcas will have to overcome their batting nightmare in the last game. The team has struggled with the bat in several games this season. They need to get their acts right with the bat to win. The Texas Super Kings have a strong batting lineup, and their bowling attack is well-suited for these conditions. Based on the strength of the two teams, the Super Kings will start as favorites.
