Team overview

Texas Super Kings at a glance

Texas Super Kings represent the Dallas–Fort Worth area in Major League Cricket. The franchise began with MLC in 2023 and is operated separately from the Chennai and Joburg Super Kings teams.

TSK reached the Challenger in each of their first three seasons. Their 2026 campaign moved in the opposite direction: three wins in the first five games briefly put them top, but five consecutive defeats left them sixth with six points and net run rate -0.151.

The completed 2026 record was ten played, three won and seven lost. Faf du Plessis supplied the team's only century in a 221 chase on opening night, while Amshi de Silva led the attack with 13 wickets.

Stephen Fleming coached the 2026 campaign, assisted by Albie Morkel with Sridharan Sriram as bowling coach. TSK and Fleming officially parted ways on 13 July 2026; no successor had been announced by this page's review date.

Roster timeline

Why does the Texas Super Kings 2026 roster contain 19 players after an 18-player announcement?

TSK announced an 18-player squad before the season. On 24 June, Dian Forrester replaced Nandre Burger for the remainder of the tournament after Burger was ruled out with a pre-existing back stress reaction.

The final directory keeps both names, so 19 describes the full season timeline rather than 19 simultaneously available players. Removing Burger would erase a player who belonged to the original group; omitting Forrester would miss the official replacement.

Myth versus reality

Did moving top after five games make Texas Super Kings a playoff favourite?

No. The win over MI New York gave TSK a 3-2 record and briefly moved them top, but league position at that point was only a snapshot. They lost all five remaining matches and finished sixth at 3-7.

The slide included one-wicket and nine-run defeats as well as three completed chases by opponents. Early points created an opportunity; they did not protect Texas from a full second-half reversal.

Advanced chase breakdown

How did Texas Super Kings chase 221 with nine balls remaining?

After losing Saiteja Mukkamalla early, Faf du Plessis and Rilee Rossouw added 95 from 37 balls. Du Plessis finished unbeaten on 113 from 52, with Wiaan Mulder adding 31 not out from 15.

Texas reached 221/4 in 18.3 overs, six wickets ahead with nine balls unused. The result was not a routine high chase: one rapid partnership and an unbeaten century absorbed the required rate without a late scramble.

Last-over edge case

How could Akeal Hosein take a hat-trick and Texas still lose by one wicket?

Washington needed six from the final over chasing 186. Hosein's hat-trick reduced them from 180/6 to 180/9, but the chase was still alive because the target had not been defended.

A leg bye and a final-ball six carried Washington to 187/9. A hat-trick records three wickets in three balls; it does not end the match unless the batting side is all out or can no longer reach the target.

Coaching cutoff

Why is Stephen Fleming listed for 2026 when Texas currently have no announced head coach?

Fleming led Texas throughout the completed 2026 campaign and remains the coach of record for those ten results. The club announced a mutual separation on 13 July, one day after its final league match.

The current role is therefore vacant while the historical staff block still names him. No successor had appeared in the official club news or staff directory by 13 August, so the page does not promote an assistant or repeat speculation.

Sixth after a 3-7 campaign
