Houston Generals CC will look to reach the final in their debut season, while Los Angeles will be high on confidence, coming into Qualifier 2 on the back of a hat-trick of wins. The knockout fixture is set to be played on Monday, October 13, at the University of Texas Dallas in the National Cricket League T10 (NCL) 2025.

Houston finished second on the points table at the end of the league phase. In Qualifier 1, they were outplayed by Dallas Lonestars. The Nisarg Patel-led side was dismissed for 41 before Dallas romped home with 21 balls and nine wickets in the bank.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles finished fourth in the standings and took on the Atlanta Kings in the Eliminator. George Munsey and Co. amassed 96/7 after opting to bat first. In the second innings, the Los Angeles bowlers stepped up and restricted Atlanta to 62/9.

The University of Texas Dallas has provided some competitive surfaces so far in the tournament. Bowlers have had plenty of assistance to keep themselves interested. Batters will have to be wary, and a good start seems imperative. Aiming for a score too high could be detrimental to the team batting first.
