Washington Freedom vs Seattle Orcas

In Match 26 of the 2025 Major League Cricket (MLC) season, Washington Freedom produced a dominant performance to destroy Seattle Orcas by 8 wickets at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground, Lauderhill. Washington elected to bowl first, and their bowlers dismantled the Seattle batting lineup to restrict them to a meager total, which was the third-lowest team score in MLC history.

Seattle Orcas Innings

Seattle Orcas were bowled out for just 82 runs in 17.4 overs, a stunning collapse that left their playoff hopes hanging by a thread. Despite a fighting 48 off 39 balls from Heinrich Klaasen, no other batter reached double digits apart from a brief effort from Sikandar Raza (8) and Harmeet Singh (7). Washington’s bowling attack was relentless—Glenn Maxwell led from the front with 3/12 in 4 overs, while Saurabh Netravalkar (3/13 in 3) and Jack Edwards (3/19 in 2.4) shared the spoils and ensured Seattle never found momentum.

Washington Freedom Innings

In reply, Washington Freedom chased down the target comfortably in just 9.2 overs, finishing at 86/2. Mukhtar Ahmed played a fluent knock of 36 from 21 balls, while Rachin Ravindra added a quick 32 off 23 to make light work of the small chase. The Orcas bowlers had very little to defend, and the result was never in doubt after the first few overs.
