San Francisco Unicorns vs Texas Super Kings, 7th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

TSK have leapfrogged to the top of the table. They were at the bottom before the game and this superb win has taken them to the pole position. These are early days in the tournament and teams are figuring out their strengths and weaknesses. TSK seem to have most bases covered. Their batting has clicked in the last two games. Their bowling will also look to do the same. The Unicorns had hammered the Knight Riders but have been handed a shellacking here. But they will also look to bounce back as they have a strong squad at their disposal. We will continue dishing out every detail related to MLC 2024. For now, ta ta ta!

Faf du Plessis: We needed it. We were good with the batting perspective in the last game. From a batting perspective, it was clinical. We had more bowling options. Stoinis had some finger injury. The batters never got used to a plan or a bowler. Mentally, it is very important. You need to keep working hard every day. The game keeps evolving. Strike-rate is one of the things I have worked upon. You have to evolve. You have to score at above 140 these days as an opener. The game keeps you humble. I still love being around and on the field. The tournament is set up nicely. I look at the overseas players and feel it is up there with international cricket or the IPL. There are 6 international stars compared to the 4 that is there in other leagues. It is a well structured league. Mohsin has been my main weapon. Leg spinners usually have their tails up.

Corey Anderson: We didn't start too badly. Lost wickets in clumps. TSK kept taking wickets. Pretty disappointing. Just poor execution. Couple of bad options. Such things can happen. I don't want the guys to put off the gas. These kind of days will happen. But I want the guys to have the freedom. We don't need to change a hell lot. I will back the guys. We have lot of talent in the camp. Watto has been great. Bringing in a lot of calmness to the group and backing fearless cricket.

Mohammed Mohsin, Player of the Match: The fast bowlers set the tone for us. Always nice to get wickets. We just kept it simple. We bowled stump to stump. Nice to contribute to the team's win. It is giving me more confidence being a local. The presence of international stars helps us. Last year, we had Imran Tahir and I learnt a lot from him.

Aaron Hardie: We were a little sloppy during the powerplay. We had our plans set. We switched on after the powerplay and got some wickets. It has been very hot here. We have prioritised recovery between games. Dave and Faf are batting beautifully at the moment.

18:05 Local Time, 22:05 GMT, 03:35 IST: TSK have picked up their first win. Faf and Conway got off the blocks on fast lanes in the chase and the tempo was consistent throughout the chase. TSK it seemed had the NRR in mind and just played positive cricket throughout. Hardie came in at 3 and he also played some big shots before perishing. Conway got a blow on his fingers and that might be a cause of concern for the TSK unit. The Unicorns managed only 127 and that was never going to be enough. Mohsin and Bravo rocked the middle and lower-order and that didn't allow the Unicorns to recover.
