The stakes are high as San Francisco Unicorns and Texas Super Kings ramp up their preparations ahead of their most crucial encounter in the challenger of the ongoing Major League Cricket on Saturday (6:00 AM IST, Jul 27) at Grand Prairie Stadium, Dallas. San Francisco Unicorns had a straight chance to march into the final, but they lost to Washington Freedom in the Qualifier on Friday.
In this high-stakes battle, San Francisco Unicorns will need to get back to winning ways to secure their spot in the final where Washington Freedom are already sitting.

The battle is going to be incredibly thrilling as both teams have only one goal to reach.
