MLC 2025: Aaron Jones and Shimron Hetmyer keep Seattle Orcas in the playoffs race; push Los Angeles Knight Riders to the bottom
Shimron Hetmyer of Seattle Orcas is congratulated by Kyle Mayers of Seattle Orcas for reaching his fifty during match 20 of the Cognizant Major League Cricket season 3 between LA Knight Riders and Seattle Orcas held at the Grand Prairie cricket stadium, Grand Prairie, United States of America (USA). (Sportzpics) The Seattle Orcas continued their resurgence in Major League Cricket (MLC) 2025, chasing down yet another 200-plus target to beat the Los Angeles Knight Riders by five wickets. This marked their second consecutive victory in the tournament. Batting first after being asked to set a target, the Knight Riders got off to a sluggish start, with the ball gripping in the surface and making timing difficult. Andre Fletcher managed to find occasional boundaries to maintain some momentum during the powerplay. Harmeet Singh bowled three tidy overs upfront and was eventually rewarded when Fletcher picked out long-off. Shimron Hetmyer takes Stake Player of the Match for the second night in a row ‼️ @StakeIND x @stakenewsindia — Cognizant Major League Cricket (@MLCricket) June 29, 2025 In a surprising move, Andre Russell came in at No. 3 and initially played cautiously, especially against spin, while LAKR lost two quick wickets to slump to 48/3. Russell then joined forces with Saif Badar to rebuild, and later Rovman Powell arrived to accelerate the innings. Badar was eventually dismissed for 41, caught by Klaasen off Salamkheil, but partnerships between Russell-Badar and Russell-Powell powered LAKR past 200. Russell notched up his first fifty of the season and stayed unbeaten on 65 from 39 balls, while Powell's quickfire 43* off 21 ensured they finished on 202/4. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Bitcoin vs Gold: Which Is the Better Investment for the Next 1–3 Years? Liseer Undo Waqar Salamkheil was the pick of the Orcas bowlers with 2/29 in his four overs. Harmeet Singh and Ayan Desai chipped in with one wicket apiece. Chasing 203, Seattle lost opener Josh Brown on the second ball, but Aaron Jones and Shayan Jahangir stitched together a brilliant 119-run stand for the second wicket. They took calculated risks to keep the scoreboard ticking. Jones brought up his maiden MLC fifty before falling to Schalkwyk off Holder for 73 (38 balls, 10 fours, 2 sixes).

But Shimron Hetmyer carried on his blistering form from the previous match, hammering six sixes and four boundaries in a 26-ball 64* to guide Seattle home comfortably. Kyle Mayers played a steady supporting hand with 9 off 12. Among LAKR's bowlers, Jason Holder impressed with 2 wickets, while Tanveer Sangha also claimed 2/39. Andre Russell picked up one wicket for 29 in his four-over spell. Brief Scores Los Angeles Knight Riders: 202 for 4 (Andre Russell 65 not out, Rovman Powell 43*, Saif Badar 41; Waqar Salamkheil 2-29) Seattle Orcas: 206 for 5 (Aaron Jones 73, Shimron Hetmyer 64*, Jahangir 43; Jason Holder 2-36, Jason Sangha 2-39) Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story.

Last-ball mayhem! Shimron Hetmyer stuns Kieron Pollard with a six, Seattle Orcas pull off record MLC chase
produced a breathtaking knock to power the Seattle Orcas to their first win of the 2025 Major League Cricket (MLC) season, sealing a dramatic three-wicket victory over MI New York with a last-ball six. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Chasing a mammoth 238 — the highest successful run chase in MLC history — Hetmyer held his nerve under immense pressure and launched over the ropes to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Earlier, MI New York had posted an imposing 237/4, driven by a commanding innings from captain Nicholas Pooran, who blasted an unbeaten 108 off just 60 deliveries, including 7 fours and 8 sixes. He found a strong ally in Tajinder Dhillon, who hammered a blazing 95 off just 35 balls. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Despite the carnage, the Orcas managed to take some control through Gerald Coetzee and Kyle Mayers, both of whom claimed two wickets each to stem the flow. In reply, Seattle's innings got off to a stuttering start, with Josh Brown and Shayan Jahangir dismissed inside the powerplay. But Kyle Mayers (37 off 20) and captain Sikandar Raza (30 off 9) launched a quick counterattack to bring the chase back on track. Momentum swung again as Heinrich Klaasen chipped in with a brisk 26 off 13 balls before falling to debutant Rushil Ugarkar. That set the stage for Hetmyer's heroics. With the required rate climbing and wickets tumbling, Hetmyer went into overdrive. He smashed an unbeaten 97 off just 40 deliveries, peppering the boundary with 5 fours and launching 9 towering sixes — finishing with an extraordinary strike rate of 242.50. As the game boiled down to the final ball, with five needed for victory, Hetmyer rose to the occasion. Facing MI New York skipper Kieron Pollard, Hetmyer stayed low, got inside the line of the delivery, and flick-whipped it over fine leg for what may go down as the most valuable six of his T20 career — sparking wild celebrations in the Seattle camp. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "This one is one of the best, because our backs were against the wall and I'm still grimacing over the last game where we couldn't cross the line," Hetmyer, who was named Player of the Match, said after the game. "Today is one of those days, where I went with a clear mind and wanted to take the game as deep as possible. That (injury) actually gave me a little bit of help, because I didn't want to run much," he added.

MLC 2025: New York vs Seattle Orcas playing 11, live toss time, streaming
After two defeats in as many matches, the only slight consolation for MI New York and Seattle Orcas is that they're not at the very bottom of the standings, that spot currently belongs to Los Angeles Knight Riders, who have already suffered three losses. However, by Wednesday evening, one of these two struggling sides could join them there unless they can finally get their campaign back on track. The silver lining? Weather permitting, one of them will finally notch their first win of the season. Despite both teams being winless, their journeys so far have taken different routes. MI New York squandered strong positions in both their losses to Texas Super Kings and San Francisco Unicorns, while the Orcas have been thoroughly outplayed in both of their outings. MI New York's biggest challenge lies in their inability to close out matches, rather than individual form. In contrast, Seattle has a broader set of issues, misfiring batters, ineffective bowling, and a captain who hasn't led by example. While MI New York certainly have their own issues to fix, their struggles present the best chance yet for the Orcas to make a statement. Whether they can capitalize remains to be seen.
