Major League Cricket: Texas Super Kings conclude league phase with 37-run win over Seattle Orcas

Dallas [Texas]: Led by Calvin Savage's all-round performance, the Texas Super Kings handed the Seattle Orcas a convincing 37-run defeat in the final match of the 2024 Major League Cricket at the Grand Prairie Stadium, Dallas, on Tuesday.

Despite Quinton de Kock and Shehan Jayasuriya giving the Orcas a solid start in their run-chasing, the Texas Super Kings bowlers, led by Ottneil Bartmann, Noor Ahmad and Calvin Savage, provided a massive dismantling of Seattle's batting line-up.

The Seattle Orcas close out their season with six losses and one win, while the Texas Super Kings, who have three wins and two losses, will face MI New York in the elimination game.

The Seattle Orcas' run chase of 178 runs, which mirrored the first innings, saw Ryan Rickleton lose to Ottneil Bartman off the first ball of the innings. Shehan Jayasuriya joined Quinton de Kock and the duo took over the run chase. At the end of the powerplay, the Seattle Orcas were placed at 47/1.

Shehan Jayasuriya eventually lost to Calvin Savage in the seventh over after a 27-ball stint at the crease. Not long after, the dangerous Quinton de Kock was also dismissed, leaving the Orcas at 59/3 in the ninth over.

Faced with a steep equation, the onus fell on Heinrich Klaasen and Matthew Bracewell to steer the innings. However, both batters were outplayed by spinners and dismissed for single digits. Mitchell Santner saw the back of Klaasen, while Bracewell was caught by Noor Ahmad.

With the score at 67/5 in 10.4 overs, Shubham Ranjane and Keemo Paul did their best to keep the Orcas in the race. However, Ranjane was run out and Keemo Paul was castrated by Noor Ahmad in the 17th over, ending the run chase altogether. Ali Sheikh contributed with a consolation knock, but the Orcas fell well short and ended on 140/9. Otneill Bartman took two wickets in the tail to finish with figures of 3/20.

Earlier in the day. Texas Super Kings lost openers Devon Conway and Joshua Tromp early in the innings but Faf Du Plessis was in fine form and hit six boundaries and a six before being scalped by Keemo Paul. At the end of the powerplay, Texas Super Kings were 56/3.

Milind Kumar played a watchful knock, almost scoring a run-a-ball before becoming Keemo Paul's second wicket of the day. The experienced all-rounders, Marcus Stoinis and Mitchell Santner were both given starts but failed to convert them into bigger scores, losing to Aryan Desai and Matthew Bracewell respectively.

Calvin Savage orchestrated the biggest partnership of the innings, along with Cameron Stevenson, the pair putting on 43 runs in just 23 deliveries in the closing stages of the innings. Stevenson hit a four and a six to support Savage's late innings fireworks, but was cleaned up by Nandre Burger in the 18th over.

Savage defeated Bracewell with two consecutive maximums in the 16th over and then added a 17-run over in Nande Burger's 18th over to remain unbeaten and help the Texas Super Kings finish on 177/8.
