Washington Freedom would go level on points with first-placed San Francisco Unicorns with a win, but if the Super Kings win they will be one of five teams on eight points in what is proving to be an incredibly tight Major League Cricket season.

Texas Super Kings Form

After winning two matches on the bounce to move up the table, the Super Kings have faltered badly, losing their last three matches in a row to leave them in danger of missing the playoffs.

Amshi de Silva (3/15, econ 3.75) starred with the ball for the Super Kings to restrict the Orcas to 121/9 off their 20 overs in their last match. Adam Milne continued his fine form with the ball, picking up 2/10 (econ 2.50) on the back of figures of 2/29, 2/22 and 2/31 in his previous four matches.

The Super Kings batters also suffered a batting collapse, slipping to 59/5 before Shubham Ranjane (40* off 44 balls) and Donovan Ferreira (22 off 16) restored some order, but they fell nine runs short of their target.

Washington Freedom Form

The Washington Freedom have enjoyed a great run of three wins in four matches before losing their last match to the Knight Riders by 18 runs.

Saurabh Netravalkar (3/33), Ben Dwarshuis (2/37) and Mitchell Owen (2/30) all picked up wickets but couldn’t prevent the Knight Riders from posting a competitive score of 192/8 off their 20 overs.

After slipping to 41/3 the Freedom were grateful for Andries Gous (37 off 24) and Lahiru Milantha (40 off 25) who added 71 for the fourth wicket. The middle order and tail struggled to maintain the momentum and ended on 174/8 off their 20 overs to lose by 18 runs.

Team news

The Freedom might play without all-rounder Marco Jansen who is struggling to be match fit in time for the clash. The Super Kings seamer Nandre Burger has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a back injury.

Texas Super Kings (possible XI): Smit Patel, Faf du Plessis (c), Saiteja Mukkamalla, Marcus Stoinis, Shubham Ranjane, Donovan Ferreira, Calvin Savage, Akeal Hosein, Noor Ahmad, Zia-ul-Haq, Adam Milne.

Washington Freedom (possible XI): Mitchell Owen, Rachin Ravindra, Andries Gous, Mark Chapman, Glenn Maxwell (c), Glenn Phillips, Mukhtar Ahmed, Obus Pienaar, Jack Edwards, Ian Holland, Saurabh Netravalkar.
