Match 7 | Major League Cricket 2026 | Grand Prairie Stadium, Dallas | 21 June 2026

TSK were 80 for 3 at drinks and still in the match. Nine overs later, they were 158 all out, with Trent Boult and Corbin Bosch sharing seven wickets between them. Faf du Plessis missed the game with a back spasm, which meant the top order had no buffer when Boult struck twice inside three overs. What followed laid bare every fragility in TSK’s batting structure, from the powerplay through to the final ball of the 20th over. 

Boult Set The Trap In The Powerplay 

Smit Patel lasted two balls. Boult bowled him through the gate in the first over without a run on the board. Rilee Rossouw came in and looked composed, pushing TSK to 20 before Boult returned in the third over and bowled him too. Two wickets, clean bowled, both before the powerplay ended. 

Saiteja Mukkamalla fell at 36 in the sixth over, caught by Tajinder Singh off Bosch. TSK were 36 for 3 with the powerplay done and their three most experienced top-order batters already back in the dugout. 

The Fall of Wickets That Tells the Story

The collapse phase: from 80 for 3 at drinks to 158 all out in 9.4 overs. The last seven wickets fell for 78 runs. 

Texas Super Kings MLC 2026 Batting Collapse: Bosch Finished the Job 

Milind Kumar and Shubham Ranjane steadied things through the middle, taking TSK from 36 for 3 to 80 for 3 by the drinks break. Kumar was on 32, and Ranjane was on 20. They had rebuilt. Then Romario Shepherd broke the stand in the 13th over, catching Kumar for 39 off Pooran’s gloves.

Bosch came back and bowled hard lengths through the middle and late overs. Ferreira was run out at 113 in the 15th over, caught by substitute Ryan Rickelton. Ranjane fell for 49 in the 17th, caught by Boult off Ugarkar. Then, in three balls spanning the 18th over, Bosch removed Mulder (caught Ugarkar) and Hosein (caught de Kock). TSK lost four wickets for 15 runs between overs 16 and 18. Boult finished it: Milne bowled in the 20th, de Silva run out off a direct hit on the next ball. 

The Same Problem TSK Had Against San Francisco 

Match 4 against the Unicorns followed a nearly identical arc. TSK were bowled out for 152 in 20 overs, with their top five gone for 81 runs. The fall of wickets read: 1-6, 2-9, 3-29, 4-50, 5-81, with six more wickets falling between 81 and 152. Peter Siddle drove much of that damage, removing Mukkamalla early at 1.1 overs before dismissing Rossouw and Mulder in the same 12th over and ending de Silva’s innings at 18.5. 

Bosch and Siddle worked in different styles but struck in similar phases. Both extracted wickets in the 12th to 16th over range. In both matches, TSK built a partial recovery and then lost it completely. The pattern isn’t a coincidence. 

MINY Made the Chase Look Easy 

MI New York needed 159 to win. Nicholas Pooran made 68 not out from 46 balls, hitting 6 fours and 3 sixes. Monank Patel contributed 46. MINY crossed the line by 8 wickets with 16 balls to spare and never looked troubled.

TSK’s record now sits at 1 win and 2 losses from 3 matches, their only victory coming against Seattle Orcas in Match 1. The Texas Super Kings MLC 2026 batting collapse has now defined back-to-back defeats, and Match 8 against San Francisco Unicorns on June 24 at Oakland Coliseum arrives without Faf’s return confirmed and with the same structural vulnerabilities exposed again.
