San Francisco Unicorns vs Texas Super Kings Chance of Winning

As we enter the tail end of the campaign in the inaugural Major League Cricket, both teams have a chance to seal a playoff spot. A loss for either side can make things very tricky for the teams as their play-off hopes would depend on the MI New York game against table toppers Seattle Orcas. Both teams are level on points with identical records of two wins and two losses in the four games thus far. As per our calculations, on paper Texas Super Kings are much stronger and should seal a place in play-offs with a win against San Francisco Unicorns

• San Francisco Unicorns’s chances of winning - 44%
• Texas Super Kings’s chances of winning - 56%

San Francisco Unicorns vs Texas Super Kings Prediction & Betting Tips 2023

Even though San Francisco Unicorns have managed to score most sixes in the tournament, we believe in the upcoming game against Texas Super Kings, the Texas outfit would score more sixes than San Francisco Unicorns. In each of the first three games, Texas Super Kings scored more sixes than they conceded and in the last game even though they batting collapsed for 127 they still managed to score four sixes. Even with all the sixes San Francisco has scored, only once have they managed to grab more sixes than their opponent which makes us believe San Francisco would concede more sixes in the upcoming game.

San Francisco Unicorns vs Texas Super Kings Match Toss Prediction

In the last three of the four games at the venue, the team batting second has won the game. With both teams heading into this game after a humiliation we believe whoever wins the toss would prefer to negate any risk and would opt to bowl first.

Weather Report

We expect a cloudy day in Morrisville but chances of any disruptions are bare minimum. The maximum temperature is expected to be 30C and minimum is expected to be 19C.

Predicted Playing XI

Texas Super Kings Team Form

Texas Super Kings have been one of the most inconsistent teams in the tournament as they have failed to string together a couple of wins so far. Each victory is followed by a comprehensive defeat which has resulted in third spot on the table level on points with San Francisco Unicorns

San Francisco Unicorns vs Texas Super Kings Head to Head

As this is the inaugural season, we do not have historic data for both teams. This would be the first head to head game between the teams.

San Francisco Unicorns vs Texas Super Kings Betting Odds

San Francisco to have a better opening stand than Texas Super Kings

The Texas Super Kings have failed to put together a good opening stand throughout the tournament. Texas Super have managed an opening partnership of 12, 6, 20 and 0 in the four games thus far averaging mere 9.5. On the other hand, Texas have conceded an average of 25.25 as opening stand in those games. Even though San Francisco only managed an opening stand of 18 runs in the last game, their tournament average has been 38.5 which is higher than what Texas Super Kings have conceded and on a different stratosphere when you compare it with Texas Super Kings average. We believe this trend will continue in the upcoming game and should provide you with handsome financial rewards.

San Francisco Unicorns vs Texas Super Kings Top Team Batters

Corey Anderson to be San Francisco Unicorns’s top batter

In the last game Corey Anderson proved why he is one of the key players even though San Francisco batters crumbled, he still managed to galvanise the innings and scored a brilliant 34 in difficult circumstances. Anderson with 176 is the leading run scorer for San Francisco Unicorn and is our top pick for the upcoming game.

Devon Conway to be Texas Super Kings’s top batter

Even though Devon Conway failed to show up in the last game we would still go with the Texas Super Kings opener for the upcoming game. There were only two contenders for the pick Conway and Dawyne Bravo but considering the fact Bravo comes down the order and Conway has already been in thick of runs in the tournament, we opt for him as our top pick for the game.

San Francisco Unicorns vs Texas Super Kings Top Team Bowlers

Liam Plunkett to be San Francisco Unicorns’s top bowler

Even though Haris Rauf has shown his worth in the last game, we would still stick with Liam Plunkett who has been the most consistent bowler for San Francisco Unicorns throughout the campaign and on top of that is the leading wicket taker for his team. In the last game Plunkett ended up with 2/24 and is our top pick for the game.

Mohammad Mohsin to be Texas Super Kings’s top bowler

Mohammad Mohsin with eight wickets is the leading wicket taker in the tournament and arguably the best player for Texas Super Kings this term. Even though he had a bad outing in the last game we still believe he will step up in this crucial game and is without doubt the top pick for the game.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Texas Super Kings

San Francisco Unicorns head into this pivotal encounter on the back of an absolute drubbing against Washington Freedom as they failed to chase down 133. San Francisco outfit lost four wickets in powerplay and remained on the back foot for rest of the game, Corey Anderson tried to anchor a sinking ship as they had no answer to the brilliance of Saurabh Netravalkar who ended up with 6/9 and inflicted a demoralising defeat as San Francisco Unicorns lost the game by 30 runs.

Like their opponents, Texas Super Kings head into this game on the back of a humiliation against high flying Seattle Orcas. The Texas outfit batted first on the wicket and lost Devon Conway in the opening ball and could not get going in the game. Texas Super Kings batters collapsed to mere 127 which was chased down with ease by Seattle Orcas who eventually won the game with eight wickets to spare.

Both teams head into this all important encounter on the back of comprehensive defeats and would need their batting lineup to fire in all cylinders if they aspire to seal a playoff spot. The Bookmakers have sided with the Texas outfit as without doubt on paper they look more menacing and bookmakers believe big names in the starting lineup would show up for Texas Super Kings in this all or nothing clash between the two teams. We believe this would be a close game but Texas would edge it and confirm a playoff berth this season.

• San Francisco Unicorns to win @ 2.00 (PariMatch)
• Texas Super Kings to win @ 1.79 (PariMatch)
