Backed by the legacy of Chennai Super Kings, Texas enter this match with both pedigree and firepower. Led by Faf du Plessis, they bring a fearsome opening pair and one of the most balanced line-ups in the league, combining international stardom with rising American talent. Their familiarity with home conditions makes them one of the toughest teams to beat in Grand Prairie.
Key strengths: Explosive top order, veteran leadership, home-ground advantage
Key players:
Built around tactical versatility and a growing domestic core, Washington Freedom have evolved into a competitive outfit with high-profile additions in 2025. The presence of Steve Smith adds calm and structure to the batting, while their bowling is spearheaded by exciting left-arm options that thrive under pressure.
Key strengths: Disciplined bowling unit, middle-over control, experienced spine
Key players:
This encounter pits two contrasting styles — the star-studded flair of Texas against the calculated discipline of Washington. With du Plessis and Conway likely to go hard in the powerplay, the Freedom bowlers must strike early to disrupt rhythm. Smith’s role will be pivotal in anchoring the chase or recovery, but Texas’s depth, experience, and local support make them firm favorites. Expect their bowling unit, especially Bravo and Coetzee, to tighten the screws in the latter half.
