TEX vs LAS will square off each other at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas on Saturday, July 5, for the second game of the Major League Cricket 2024. The Faf du Plessis-led side had an impressive time in the league stage of the inaugural edition as they finished second on the table. Their brilliant run faced a roadblock as they suffered a defeat in the Qualifier 2 against MI New York.
On the other hand, the Sunil Narine-led team had a disappointing campaign in the last edition. The team finished at the bottom of the table and managed to win just one game. With some new acquisitions and a chance to redeem themselves this time around, the Los Angeles-based franchise will look to come back strong.

Probable Top Performers from TEX vs LAS
Probable Best Batter: Aiden Markram
South African skipper Aiden Markram had a decent outing in the recently concluded T20 World Cup. The right-hand batter’s best knock of 46 runs came against the USA in the Super Eight stage. Being in America for a month then, the 29-year-old will be well versed in the conditions and can smash the opposition bowlers with ease.
Probable Best Bowler: Sunil Narine
Though the willy spinner Sunil Narine didn’t feature in the World Cup but had an incredible IPL 2024. He scalped 17 wickets and had a good economy. With the captaincy duties on his shoulders, the veteran will look to thrive under pressure and provide his team with the necessary breakthrough.
