In a rain-affected clash between two top-quality sides in MLC 2025, Texas Super Kings (TEX) defeated Washington Freedom (WAS) by 43 runs with a commanding performance. With the game reduced to just 5 overs per side, both teams produced some scintillating shots, delivering a thrilling display of high-quality cricket.

Donovan Ferreira’s six sends shockwaves to TEX dugout

Batting first, Texas posted a massive total of 87 runs for the loss of just 2 wickets, powered by explosive knocks from Shubham Ranjane and Donovan Ferreira. The innings featured several scintillating sixes, but the standout moment came in the final over when the ball was launched out of the stadium. Mitchell Owen bowled a length delivery to Ferreira, who stood tall and heaved it with brute force towards the square leg region. The connection was so clean that the ball sailed out of the stadium for a monstrous 106-metre six — a shot that sent shockwaves through the TEX dugout.

Texas Super Kings storm past Washington Freedom with explosive finish

With both sides eyeing a spot in the top two, WAS elected to bowl first. TEX didn’t get off to the best start, losing Marcus Stoinis early, followed by Daryl Mitchell retiring hurt. However, Shubham and Ferreira had other plans. The duo stitched together a fiery partnership of 52 runs in just 12 deliveries, taking the opposition bowlers apart with brute force. In the final two overs, the TEX batters smashed 53 runs, powering the team to a strong finish after a slow start.

In reply, WAS never really threatened the Texas bowlers. The chase began on a positive note with Rachin Ravindra scoring 10 runs off the first four deliveries, but he fell on the very next ball. After his dismissal, none of the other batters could get going. Quick wickets in the middle overs completely dismantled the chase, and Texas sealed a comfortable victory by a commanding margin of 43 runs. Glenn Phillips tried to offer some resistance with an unbeaten 18, but it wasn’t enough to change the outcome.
