The much-awaited Major League Cricket will get underway with a clash between Texas Super Kings and Los Angeles Knight Riders. Both teams are laced with top cricketing names and the game is expected to be a thriller. Super Kings have big guns like Faf du Plessis, Devon Conway, David Miller, and Dwayne Bravo at their disposal. Los Angeles Knight Riders, on the other hand, have Jason Roy, Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, and Rilee Rossow.
Most of the players play for their respective franchises in IPL as well so expect nothing less than a cracking affair.
The pitch will be a good one to bat. The wickets in the USA are flat and boundaries are short to promote high-scoring games.
It will be a clear evening, with temperature hovering around 30 degrees. The humidity will be very high at 77 per cent while the wind speed will be 11 km/h.
Faf du Plessis (c), Saiteja Mukkamalla, Devon Conway (wk), Cody Chetty, David Miller, Dwayne Bravo, Mitchell Santner, Daniel Sams, Rusty Theron, Cameron Stevenson, Zia Shahzad
Jason Roy, Rilee Rossouw, Unmukt Chand, Gajanand Singh, Jaskaran Malhotra (wk), Andre Russell, Sunil Narine (c), Adam Zampa, Shadley van Schalkwyk, Ali Khan, Lockie Ferguson
Both teams have backed their IPL-bound players. The likes of Faf du Plessis, Devon Conway, and Mitchell Santner have also played for CSK so the players are used to playing with each other. The same goes with Los Angeles who have roped in players like Jason Roy, Sunil Narine, and Lockie Ferguson, who have played for KKR in IPL
This will be the first meeting between the two teams in the tournament.

Devon Conway had a top run in IPL 2023 and scored 672 runs for CSK. He was the team’s leading run-scorer and will be looking to have a good outing in the MLC as well.
Faf played for RCB in IPL 2023 and enjoyed a magnificent run. He is ageing like a wine, getting better with age. Faf scored 730 runs in the IPL 2023 and was the second-highest run-scorer of the tournament.
Mitchell Santner is very underrated. The all-rounder recently played in the T20 Blast for Worcestershire, batting at no.3 and delivering a solid all-round show. The all-rounder will hold the key for Super Kings.
Jason Roy should also be available for the first match of MLC, even though he was recently playing in the T20 Blast. The batter failed to give big performances and put together a string of low scores. However, Roy is one of the best in this format and the conditions will be good for batting so expect some fireworks from him.
USA pacer Ali Khan has made quite a name for himself after good shows in the franchise leagues around the globe. He will be one of the top talents to watch out for in the tournament.
