The Texas Super Kings secured a commanding seven-wicket victory over the San Francisco Unicorns, climbing to the top of the Major League Cricket 2024 table. The win was anchored by a stellar bowling performance from Mohammad Mohsin, whose four-wicket haul dismantled the Unicorns’ innings.
The Kings set the tone early with Zia Ul Haq striking twice in the powerplay, removing openers Finn Allen and Jake Fraser-McGurk. This early breakthrough rattled the Unicorns, but the real damage was done post-powerplay when they lost five wickets in just 15 deliveries. Dwayne Bravo and Mohsin each claimed two wickets in consecutive overs, reducing the Unicorns from 66/2 to 81/7 and putting the Super Kings in complete control.
The Unicorns could only muster 127 runs before being bowled out, with Mohsin finishing with remarkable figures of 4/13.
Chasing a modest target, the Super Kings made the task look easy. Openers Devon Conway and Faf du Plessis quickly put 61 runs on the board within the powerplay. Although both fell in the thirties, the foundation they laid ensured a smooth path to victory. The Super Kings reached the target in just 12.5 overs, finishing at 128/3.
The comprehensive win not only boosts the Super Kings’ confidence but also cements their position at the top of the league standings.
