SFU vs TSK Top Players Predictions

Faf du Plessis (TSK): The South African batter shut all the noises around his MLC stats by notching up a century in their last game. Although it was a rain-washed encounter, the skipper’s form was a great positive for the Texas-based side.  He was also in good shape with the bat during the recently concluded IPL 2024.

Devon Conway (TSK): The Yellow Army has one of the best opening pairs in Devon Conway and Faf du Plessis. The Kiwi scored a brilliant fifty in their curtain raiser to mark his arrival in MLC’s second edition. He can equally counter pacers and the spinners.

Pat Cummins (SFU): The Australian ODI and Test captain will look to bolster his skills in the American soil. He can strike with the new ball as well as make an impact with the old white cherry. Cummins has a deceptive, slower one that can easily baffle opposition batters.

SFU vs TSK Hit or Miss Prediction

Finn Allen (SFU): The wicketkeeper-batter announced his arrival on American shores with a blitzkrieg in their latest game versus the Los Angeles Knight Riders. Allen has the knack of peppering the new ball inside the powerplay and often converts the starts into big scores. However, he has to overcome the inconsistency in his batting and hit good numbers regularly.

Since the teams chasing have been doing well here, the total number of wickets in the match might be less than 13.5 (1.87). The Odds…
