MLC 2026: Match 27, TEX vs WAS Match Prediction – Who will win today’s MLC match between Texas Super Kings vs Washington Freedom?

Texas Super Kings (TEX) take on Washington Freedom (WAS) in match No. 27 of the ongoing Major League Cricket (MLC) 2026 at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas on Sunday, July 12.

Steve Smith's Washinton Freedom find themselves at No. 5 on the points table, only above Faf du Plessis-led Texas Super Kings. Both teams are still in contention to make it to the playoffs. However, it will be important for them to win their two remaining matches.

Washington have eight points from as many games. Meanwhile, Texas have only six points after playing eight matches. These two teams played a humdinger in their last meeting earlier this season. Washington won the match by one wicket, successfully chasing a 186-run target off the last ball.

The Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas has produced some high-scoring contests this season. In the last four matches, three have been won by teams batting first. The captain who wins the toss would want to bat first and put on a score of around 180-190.

Faf du Plessis (C), Saiteja Mukkamalla (WK), Rilee Rossouw, Wiaan Mulder, Donovan Ferreira, Shubham Ranjane, Dian Forrester, Calvin Savage, Adam Milne, Amshi de Silva, Abhimanyu Lamba.

Mitchell Owen, Steven Smith (C), Andries Gous (WK), Rachin Ravindra, Nikhil Chaudhary, Lahiru Milantha, Obus Pienaar, Jack Edwards, Ian Holland, Ben Dwarshuis, Saurabh Netravalkar.

Mitchell Owen is going to be the batter to keep an eye on. If he gets going, he can put his team into a solid position. The right-handed batter has amassed 361 runs in eight innings and is striking at a whopping 209.88.

Young Amshi de Silva has bowled brilliantly this season. In eight matches, the 24-year-old medium pacer has picked up 12 wickets at an economy rate of 8.03. He will have a crucial role to play through the middle overs.
