The seventh game of Major League Cricket (MLC) 2025 between Seattle Orcas (SEA) and Texas Super Kings (TEX) is scheduled at the iconic Oakland Coliseum at 6:30 AM IST on Tuesday, June 17, 2025. TEX, led by Faf du Plessis with stars such as Devon Conway and Daryl Mitchell, has been off to a great start in the season, with two victories in two games and an unbeaten record, sitting second in the table. SEA, led by Heinrich Klaasen with players such as David Warner and Shimron Hetmyer, is hoping to change their season around after going down by five wickets against Washington Freedom in their opener, after having a dismal 2024 season with only one victory.

This morning's game will provide hard-hitting T20 cricket in front of a vibrant 12,000-strong audience celebrating MLC's inaugural West Coast launch. Despite SEA’s head-to-head edge, TEX’s superior opening partnerships in both matches this season make this a highly anticipated clash at the batting-friendly Coliseum in the expanded 34-game season.

The Oakland Coliseum is hosting its first elite-level cricket matches in MLC 2025 with a Nassau County, New York, drop-in pitch. The pitch gives early seam movement but eventually becomes batsman-friendly, as witnessed in the season opener's high-scoring match. As the opening match on June 17, the pitch might still give some relief to bowlers in the initial stages, although it can flatten during the course of the game.
