Texas Super Kings (TSK) ne Seattle Orcas ko 51 runs se hara diya, aur table ke top pe aa gaye. Faf du Plessis ne 91 runs ki shandaar innings kheli, retiring out hone se pehle, aur Adam Milne ne 5 wickets lekar Orcas ki batting ko dhwasth kar diya. TSK ne 188/4 banaye, jisme Faf aur Shubham Ranjane (65 off 38) ka 131-run partnership game-changer raha. Orcas sirf 137 pe simat gaye, Milne ke 5/23 ke saamne.
Match ka Jadoo
- Faf ka Dhamaka: Faf ne 52 balls mein 91 runs thoke, 6 fours aur 4 sixes ke saath, strike rate 175! Woh retiring out hue taaki Donovan Ferreira jaise big-hitter end mein aag laga sake. Yeh tactical move historic tha, T20 mein pehli baar koi 90s mein retire out hua
- Milne ka Jalwa: Adam Milne ne Orcas ke top order ko uda diya, 5 wickets lekar. Spinners Noor Ahmad aur Akeal Hosein ne bhi 2-2 wickets chipkaaye,
- Orcas ka Haal: Kyle Mayers (35) aur Shimron Hetmyer (26) ke alawa koi chal nahi paya. TSK ke bowlers ke saamne unki batting pani-pani ho gayi.

Positives aur Negatives
Positives:
- TSK ka all-round performance zabardast tha, batting aur bowling dono mein.
- Faf ka experience aur Milne ki pace ne match ko one-sided kar diya.
- Seattle Orcas ke liye yeh ek wake-up call hai, ab playoffs ke chances kam hai.
Negatives:
- Orcas ke bowlers, jaise Cameron Gannon, Faf-Ranjane ke saamne bebas dikhayi diye.
- TSK ke bench players ko zyaada chance nahi mila, depth test nahi hui.
Thodi Si Tareef Orcas Ki
Bhai, Seattle Orcas ko thodi si taarif to banta hai. Haar ke bawajood, Mayers aur Hetmyer ne fight dikhayi. Yaad hai 2007 T20 World Cup mein Yuvraj Singh ka Stuart Broad ke khilaaf 6 sixes? Orcas ke batsmen mein wohi josh chahiye tha, par TSK ke bowlers ne koi mauka nahi diya.
Betting ka Angle
Agar aap MLC 2025 mein betting soch rahe ho, toh Seattle Orcas pe thodi si nazar rakhna. Haan, woh abhi peeche hai, par Mayers aur Hetmyer jaisi firepower unko comeback kara sakti hai. Player performance bets (like Mayers scoring 50+) ya match run totals (under 300 runs) safe lagte hai, kyunki Orcas ke bowlers bounce back kar sakte hai. Chances? 60-40, kyunki TSK jaise teams abhi strong hai, par Orcas ka desperation unko dangerous bana sakta hai.
TSK ka yeh jeet unko table ke top pe le aaya, par Orcas ke paas abhi bhi mauka hai. Faf ka form yaad dilata hai Sachin ke 2003 World Cup ke dino ka, jab woh har match mein chha jaate the. Kya Orcas apna 2008 IPL jaisa Rajasthan Royals wala comeback kar payenge?
