Texas Super Kings Surge to No. 2 Spot After Rain-Interrupted Win Over Washington Freedom

The Texas Super Kings (TSK) made a strong move up the points table in MLC 2025, defeating Washington Freedom by 43 runs in a rain-curtailed, five-overs-a-side match in Lauderhill. TSK posted a daunting total of 87, thanks to a blistering unbroken partnership of 53 runs between Shubham Ranjane (39* off 14 balls) and Donovan Ferreira (37* off 9 balls). Freedom, despite a quick-fire 18 from Glenn Phillips, could not keep up with the required run rate and fell short, finishing with just 44/4. TSK's win moved them to second place, while Freedom dropped to third, with both teams now tied on 12 points.
