Openers du plessis

Texas Super Kings: In what could have been a high-scoring thriller, the fifth match of the 2024 Major League Cricket between Washington Freedom and Texas Super Kings was washed out due to rain, with both teams sharing a point each at Church Street Park in Morrisville.

In the first innings, Faf du Plessis showcased his class with an emphatic century, leading the Texas Super Kings to a huge total of 203/5 in 20 overs. Washington Freedom, on the other hand, came out all guns blazing.

The Australian duo of Steve Smith and Travis Head got the run-chase going immediately, reaching 37/0 after three overs. Head, who was dropped by Dwayne Bravo off Zia-ul-Haq on the last ball of the third over, went on to score 24 runs, including two sixes and two fours, in the fourth over. Washington Freedom reached 61/0 after 4 overs before rain halted play.
