Overview
- Texas Super Kings chased 221 to beat Seattle Orcas by six wickets in the Major League Cricket opener, a match reported on Friday.
- Seattle posted 220 for 2 after openers Tim Seifert (104) and Shayan Jahangir (78) put on a reported 191‑run opening stand for the Orcas.
- Faf du Plessis remained unbeaten on 113 off 52 balls, reached his hundred in 45 deliveries, and carried Texas through a late, aggressive chase.
- Reports credit the innings with making du Plessis the first player to pass 1,000 MLC runs and describe the knock as his ninth T20 century.
- The game underlined MLC's growing profile by showing veteran stars can change matches and suggested the league could continue to attract high‑profile players who now play outside the IPL.
