MLC 2026: Match 30, TEX vs LAS Match Prediction – Who will win today’s MLC match between Texas Super Kings vs Los Angeles Knight Riders?

The Texas Super Kings (TEX) will cross swords against the might of the Los Angeles Knight Riders (LAS) in Match No. 30 of the ongoing Major League Cricket (MLC) 2026 at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas on Monday, July 13.

The Super Kings are going through a forgettable run in the campaign, having registered just three wins in nine matches this season. They will enter the contest with a four-match losing streak. Their most recent loss came against Washington Freedom, where they lost by three wickets in a last-over thriller. They have now been eliminated from the competition and will be playing for pride against the Knight Riders.

The Los Angeles Knight Riders, on the other hand, have enjoyed a decent run thus far but are far from being perfect ahead of the playoffs. They have also played nine matches with four wins. If they manage to collect two points against Texas on Monday, it gives them an excellent chance to move to the top of the table and confirm their top-two finish on the points table before Qualifier 1 takes place.

TEX vs LAS: Probable Best Performers of the Match

Probable Best Batter: Faf du Plessis

Despite his team being in shambles, Faf du Plessis has shown his class in the MLC 2026 season. In his most recent outing, he made a brilliant half-century, scoring 61 off just 41 deliveries, which includes four boundaries and three maximums. He will prove to be a vital cog for the Texas-based franchise in the upcoming contest.

Probable Best Bowler: Shadley van Schalkwyk

Shadley van Schalkwyk caught the world's attention with his brilliant bowling performances in the 2026 T20 World Cup. While he has failed to carry the same momentum forward in MLC, he has still been a crucial addition to the Knight Riders' bowling attack, scalping 11 wickets in nine matches at a low economy rate of 8.75. Van Schalkwyk has the ability to make a difference with the ball and will look to replicate his best on Monday.
