Zia-ul-Haq is presented the Player Of The Match award.
Texas Super Kings captain Faf du Plessis reflected on his team's thrilling win, saying that he hadn't expected Seattle Orcas to be bowled out for such a low score. He noted that the evening matches at the venue had shown that the ball tends to do more in the second innings, making it crucial to navigate the powerplay overs successfully. Du Plessis praised his bowlers, particularly Nandre Burger, who had been a valuable addition to the team. Du Plessis expressed his admiration for Noor Ahmad, calling him the best in the world at the moment. He credited Zia-ul-Haq for his good work with the ball and emphasized the importance of getting runs on the board to set a competitive total.
Heinrich Klaasen, the skipper of Seattle Orcas is up for a chat. He says that it's hard to explain how the match went for his side. He continues that they bowled really well and he was happy to restrict their opposition, but things didn't go well for the batters. Also says that they will start fresh from the next match and they will come back from this stage.
The Presentation Ceremony...
Earlier in the game, Seattle Orcas opted to chase and started off taking two of their openers in five overs, but failed to keep the momentum on their side. Saiteja Mukkamalla and Daryl Mitchell does well to keep things steady for themselves. Credit to Marcus Stoinis, as his quick-fire helped his side to put on their confidence and the tailenders did well the conclude the inning.
The Texas bowlers were instrumental in their team's win, never giving the Seattle batters any breathing room. Aaran Jones' 17 runs were the highest score for Seattle, which in itself highlights the difficulties the team faced during the chase. In the end, Texas's disciplined bowling and sharp fielding paid off, leading to a well-deserved win.
Texas Super Kings secured a convincing victory, successfully defending a target of 153 and winning by 93 runs. Seattle Orcas' chase was going relatively smoothly until the 19th over, when Jasdeep Singh's 18-run over turned the tide in favor of Texas. Despite the target not being particularly large, the Texas bowlers made it extremely challenging for the Seattle batters, keeping the pressure on with consistent wickets.

Nandre Burger 10/3(3.5)
OUT! CAUGHT! It's done and dusted for Texas Super Kings! Pace off delivery, fuller, just outside off. Jasdeep Singh attempts to slog it across the line, but fails to hoist it over the fence but fails. The ball loops toward the man in the long on region and Savage makes no mistake to scoop at one safely. Texas Super Kings beat Seattle Orcas by 93 runs!
