SFU vs TSK: The spotlight will once again be on two of the main teams of Major League Cricket, and they are none other than the San Francisco Unicorns and Texas Super Kings. Both teams have been in incredible form for the last few seasons, and they have built strong reputations consistently. Both teams will fight to reach the qualifier round of the tournament. The match will start from 6:30 pm according to local time, and for Indians it will start at 7:00 pm. The fixture is set to play at the Oakland Coliseum, Oakland, California.
The San Francisco Unicrons are in terrific momentum and will head once again against the Texas Super Kings after registering the victory over Texas earlier in this season. The unicorns’ success has been driven by the brilliant batting players like Matthew Short, Finn Allen, and emerging star Lhuan-dre Pretorius. Also, the pace attack is led by Haris Rauf. If we talk about the Texas Super Kings, then they majorly depend on Proteas star Faf du Plessis, who is taking TSK forward single-handedly, and the side has become one of the strongest teams in the tournament so far.

Ashwin can show his magic
Team India’s star spinner Ravichandran Ashwin can turn the match for the San Francisco Unicorns, as he is one of the finest spinners in world cricket. Ashwin has already taken retirement from international cricket. He was eager to play in Major League Cricket and debuted for San Francisco Unicorn in the previous match. Although his performance does not match the expectations. During his four-over bowling spell, he gave 24 runs without any wicket with the bowling economy of 12.00, but tonight he aims to make his comeback in the tournament and display the ability he upholds.
