Chicago CC lock horns with Los Angeles Waves CC in match No. 5 of the ongoing National Cricket League T10 (NCL) 2025 at the University of Texas Dallas, on Monday, October 6.

Chicago's title defence will start on Sunday as they take on the Houston Generals CC. After their encounter with the debutants, they will square off against Los Angeles in a repeat of last year's Qualifier 1. The two teams met each other twice in 2024, and they shared the spoils. However, Qualifier 1 was won by Chicago.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles Waves, who finished second on the points table at the end of the round-robin phase last year behind Chicago, get their campaign rolling with a clash against New York Lions CC on Sunday. Los Angeles have assembled a formidable squad this time, with a lot of top stars to look forward to.

While T10 cricket is not known for being too favourable for bowlers, the surface at the University of Texas Dallas promises an even contest between bat and ball. The teams will look to make the most of the powerplay overs when they are batting. A good start will be important for a team, especially when they are setting up a total.
