Texas Super Kings vs San Francisco Unicorns Predictions
The Unicorns have had a super season, losing just once, but their top-order has started to stumble. The Super Kings have been strong all season, despite two losses, and their batting has been excellent. Their bowling has been solid without being spectacular, but they have supported the batters superbly, which is why I’m backing them for the win.
- Texas Super Kings’ Faf du Plessis (375 runs, ave 53.57) tops the Major League Cricket runs list.
- Texas Super Kings’ Devon Conway has scored 32*, 40 & 51* in his last 4 innings.
- San Francisco Unicorns’ Hassan Khan has scored 44, 32* & 57 in his last 3 innings.
- San Francisco Unicorns’ Sanjay Krishnamurthi hit six sixes in his 79* off 42 balls in the win over Washington Freedom.
Head-to-Head
The Super Kings won their League match earlier in July against the Unicorns by seven wickets. They also won their League match last season against the Unicorns, on that occasion by three wickets.
Texas Super Kings Form
The Super Kings made it three wins from four when they beat MI New York in the Eliminator.
New York posted a decent score of 163/8 off their 20 overs, with Marcus Stoinis
(2/18) returning the best figures for the Super Kings.
The Super Kings powered their way to a nine-wicket win, with Devon Conway (51), Faf du Plessis (72 off 47 balls) and Aaron Hardie (40* off 22 balls) all batting superbly.
Texas Super Kings Team News
The Super Kings are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.
San Francisco Unicorns Form
The Unicorns’ run of four wins on the bounce was broken when they lost to Washington Freedom in the Qualifier by seven wickets.
The Unicorns’ top-order failed to fire as they stumbled to 66/5 after the first 10 overs before Hassan Khan (57 off 36, with six sixes) rescued the innings, but their score of 145 never looked like it would be enough.
The Freedom raced to the win off 15.3 overs for the loss of just three wickets. Hassan Khan (2/32) was the best of the Unicorns bowlers.
San Francisco Unicorns Team News
The Unicorns need to beef up their top order as they haven’t been scoring as well as earlier in the season.
Verdict
I am backing Texas Super Kings to win. I am also backing Faf du Plessis to top score for the Super Kings.
Hassan Khan is a good bet to top score for the San Francisco Unicorns.
