MLC 2025: Ian Holland's 4-wicket haul, Rachin Ravindra and Glenn Maxwell's blitz help Washington Freedom beat Seattle Orcas
Ian Holland of Washington Freedom dliver ball during match 4 of Major League Cricket Season 3 between the Seattle Orcas and Washington Freedom held at the Oakland Coliseum in California , Unites States of America. (Sportzpics) In an all-round team performance, Glenn Maxwell-led Washington Freedom defeated Heinrich Klaasen's Seattle Orcas by five wickets in the ongoing 2025 Major League Cricket (MLC). Defending champions Washington Freedom opened their campaign with a five-wicket win and became the first team in the season to successfully chase a target at the Oakland Coliseum. Orcas won the toss and elected to bat first on a used surface. Openers David Warner (31) and Kyle Mayers (27) got off to a flyer, adding 60 for the first wicket. Once the partnership was broken, there was no real flow to the innings. Steven Taylor (16), Klaasen (17), and Aaron Jones (13) all got starts but failed to convert, with the Freedom adjusting to the pitch conditions beautifully and executing their plans perfectly. Orcas kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Sikandar Raza was the last man to get out, but he struggled throughout his innings and managed only 15 runs off 26 balls. Seattle Orcas crawled to 145/9 in 20 overs. Ian Holland was at the top of his game, setting up the match in Freedom's favour with his career-best figures of 4 for 20. He used his slower balls to great effect and deceived the opposition. 'I was just really clear on trying to execute my deliveries with a combination of a couple of different slower balls, and it sort of worked tonight,' he said after the match. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Thị trường có dấu hiệu suy thoái không?

Rachin Ravindra (44) joined the party and made full use of the field restrictions. The duo added 49 runs for the first wicket in the blink of an eye before the Tasmanian holed out to long-on in the third over. Ravindra continued in his merry way and looked at his brutal best, scoring an 18-ball 44. Washington raced to 90 in the powerplay — the highest-ever powerplay score in MLC history. Ravindra and Andries Gous (16) added 41 for the second wicket, and Freedom were cruising until Afghanistan's Waqar Salamkheil came into the attack after the powerplay and knocked over Gous with a ripper. Ravindra was then trapped by Obed McCoy in the next over. Freedom lost a few quick wickets, with Glenn Phillips and Jack Edwards trying to clear the fence but finding the fielders. However, captain Glenn Maxwell ensured that they didn't bottle a run chase for the second time in a row and finished the match with an unbeaten captain's knock, clubbing 38* off 20 balls. For the Orcas, Waqar Salamkheil (2/27), Harmeet Singh (1/18), Obed McCoy (1/20), and Cameron Gannon (1/36) shared the spoils.

MLC 2025: Jake Fraser-McGurk finds form as San Francisco Unicorns beat Los Angeles Knight Riders
Jake Fraser-McGurk of San Francisco Unicorns play a shot during match 3 of Major League Cricket Season 3 between the San Francisco Unicorns and LA Knight Riders held at the Oakland Coliseum in California , Unites States of America. (Sportzpics) Australia's Jake Fraser-McGurk roared back into form with a whirlwind 38-ball 88 as San Francisco Unicorns defeated Los Angeles Knight Riders by 32 runs to register their second win in the ongoing 2025 Major League Cricket (MLC). After being put into bat, the Unicorns lost Tim Seifert (5) cheaply. But Finn Allen (52), fresh from his jaw-dropping 151 off 51 balls in the previous match, and Jake Fraser-McGurk put on 111 runs for the second wicket in just 54 balls. LA Knight Riders found some breathing space after Sunil Narine removed the dangerous-looking Allen. But Fraser-McGurk continued the onslaught from the other end, smashing 11 sixes during his swashbuckling knock. The LA Knight Riders did well at the back end of the innings to restrict the Unicorns to 219 for 8. For LA Knight Riders, Shadley van Schalkwyk (3/50) and Ali Khan (2/34) were the main wicket-takers. Chasing a mammoth total, the Knight Riders lost Alex Hales (6) in the second over. Andre Fletcher also fell after scoring a brisk 11-ball 19. Knight Riders No. 3 and former India U-19 World Cup-winning captain Unmukt Chand kept them going with a 30-ball half-century to post 66 in the powerplay. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pinga-Pinga e HBP?

However, they failed to keep the tempo high as Chand and next-in Matthew Tromp then managed just 33 runs off the next 30 balls, which included three boundary-less overs on the bounce. Chand took off again with a four and a six in the following two overs before Rauf roared with a seven-run double-wicket over that saw Chand and Andre Russell walk back. MLC: Venky Harinarayan on growing cricket in the USA, AI-driven teams and the Olympic boost Saif Badar scored 17 off eight balls and Narine, the captain, smoked 27 off 13, but it was too little too late for the Knight Riders. For the Unicorns, Xavier Bartlett (4/28) and Haris Rauf (4/41) picked up eight wickets between them, while Brody Couch and Hassan Khan picked up a wicket apiece. Brief Scores San Francisco Unicorns: 219 for 8 (Jake Fraser-McGurk 88, Finn Allen 52; Shadley van Schalkwyk 3/50) Los Angeles Knight Riders: 187 all out in 19.5 overs (Unmukt Chand 53, Matthew Tromp 41; Xavier Bartlett 4/28, Haris Rauf 4/41)
