Faf du Plessis Shines as Texas Super Kings Beat Seattle Orcas in MLC 2025 Clash.<\/a> Faf du Plessis led from the front as the Texas Super Kings secured a commanding victory over the Seattle Orcas in the 28th match of Major League Cricket (MLC) 2025. The veteran South African batter top-scored with a brilliant 91 off just 52 balls, setting a new world record and surpassing Indian cricket legend Virat Kohli in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a bold move, Du Plessis voluntarily retired out to make way for the power hitters, a strategy that paid off handsomely. His innings, combined with an unbeaten 65 off 41 balls from Shubham Ranjane, propelled Texas to a formidable total of 188.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faf du Plessis: The bowlers backed up the batting effort in style. Adam Milne produced a match-winning spell, claiming 5 wickets for just 23 runs. Noor Ahmad and Akeal Hosein also chipped in with two wickets apiece as the Texas Super Kings bowled out the Orcas and secured a 51-run win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this victory, Texas Super Kings climbed to second place on the MLC 2025 points table, boasting 7 wins from 10 matches and a strong net run rate of +1.603. They now sit on 14 points, firmly in the race for the title. The final of MLC 2025 is scheduled to be held on July 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
