Texas Super Kings will take on Los Angeles Knight Riders in Match 5 of MLC 2025 on 16 June 2025, at Oakland Coliseum, California. This article will cover match details, pitch report, playing XI, player stats, Dream11 predictions and fantasy cricket tips for the LAS vs TEX match.
Match Preview
Texas Super Kings are coming into this match with some early momentum after a narrow 3-run win over MI New York. Devon Conway’s 65 and Calvin Savage’s unbeaten 53 helped push their total to a strong position. However, their middle order still looks shaky, with Du Plessis, Mukkamalla, Mitchell, and Ferreira all failing to make their starts count. On the bowling side, Adam Milne stood out with 3 wickets, while Noor Ahmad kept things tight. Daryl Mitchell contributed heavily in the field, including two run outs and a calm final over to seal the win.
Los Angeles Knight Riders are still looking for their first win this season. They couldn’t chase down 220 against San Francisco Unicorns and are desperate to get points on the board. Unmukt Chand’s 50 and Matthew Tromp’s 41 gave some hope, but the top order failed again with big names like Alex Hales, Andre Russell, and Andre Fletcher all falling cheaply. Bowling also didn’t click apart from Ali Khan’s 2/34. LAKR have yet to make the playoffs in MLC and will need a strong response to challenge Texas and get their campaign back on track.

Pitch Report of Oakland Coliseum, California Ahead of 5th Match of MLC 2025
With three out of four matches at Oakland Coliseum going in favor of teams batting first and two 200-plus scores already on the board including SFU’s massive 269 the trend is clear: pile on the runs early. The surface has played true, offering little to bowlers and plenty to batters who take their time before going big. Captains will be tempted to bat first, knowing scoreboard pressure can be a serious weapon here. Another flat, batting-friendly pitch seems likely, and totals below 200 might not feel entirely safe.
