The Oakland Coliseum is hosting its inaugural tier-one cricket games in MLC 2025, using a drop-in pitch from Nassau County, New York. The pitch is providing early seam movement but then becomes batsman-friendly, as in the season opener's high-scoring encounter. As the second game of the June 15-16 double-header, the pitch could flatten even more, possibly resulting in another run-fest.
