🦄 San Francisco Unicorns Crush Texas Super Kings Despite Faf's Blazing Century Faf du Plessis hammered a sensational 51-ball 100, but his lone heroics weren't enough to stop an in-form San Francisco Unicorns from chasing 199 in just 16.1 overs to stay unbeaten in MLC 2025 with 4 wins from 4. 🔥 Super Kings Bat First – Faf Goes Solo Du Plessis anchored Texas Super Kings’ innings with a scintillating 100 (6x4, 7x6) at a 200 strike rate. He built partnerships of: 97 with Devon Conway (23 off 23) 69 with Saiteja Mukkamalla (38 off 26) However, a collapse in 8 balls – losing du Plessis, Mukkamalla, and Stoinis – halted momentum as Xavier Bartlett and Haris Rauf struck late blows. Super Kings ended on 198/5, when at one stage 210+ looked likely. 🚀 Unicorns' Response – A Powerplay Blitz Matthew Short (61 off 29) and Finn Allen (78 off 35) exploded in the Powerplay, taking Unicorns to 83/0 in 6 overs. Their opening stand of 117 in under 9 overs crushed any hopes Super Kings had. After their dismissals, Jake Fraser-McGurk finished the job with a lively 37 off 25*. 🧮 Match Result 🏏 Texas Super Kings: 198/5 (20 overs) • Faf du Plessis 100 (51) • Bartlett 2/35, Rauf 1/28 🏏 San Francisco Unicorns: 199/3 (16.1 overs) • Allen 78 (35), Short 61 (29) • Greaves 1/25, Milne 1/30 📊 Result: Unicorns won by 7 wickets with 23 balls to spare 📌 Points Table Implication: Unicorns stay top of the table (4 wins in 4) Texas Super Kings remain close behind, with this being their first loss San Francisco Unicorns 202 for 3 (Allen 78, Short 61, Fraser-McGurk 37, Milne 1-24) beat Texas Super Kings 198 for 5 (Du Plessis 100, Mukkamalla 38, Bartlett 2-31, Rauf 2-34) by seven wickets
