TSK vs SFU MLC 2024: Faf du Plessis-led Texas Super Kings is yet to find their first win of the season. In the two matches, TSK lost to LA Knight Riders and had to settle for sharing points in the second due to an unexpected rain intervention that called off the game.
However, there are a few positives the Men in Yellove could count on. Devon Conway’s fifty in the first match and Faf du Plessis’ century in the second showcase their intent and grit to win. With a powerful bowling lineup, TSK is powered in both departments, making them tournament favourites.
Their next clash is scheduled against San Francisco Unicorns who have won their battle against LAKR. Hence, the clash is going to be tightly contested. The Corey Anderson-led SFU will come in with immense confidence having won their maiden match against the team that defeated their next opponent.
