In Match 26 of the 2025 Major League Cricket season, Washington Freedom easily beat Seattle Orcas by 8 wickets at Central Broward Regional Park in Lauderhill. Washington chose to bowl first and did a great job, bowling out Seattle for just 82 runs the third-lowest score in MLC history.

Seattle’s batting fell apart. They were all out for 82 in 17.4 overs. Heinrich Klaasen tried hard with 48 runs from 39 balls, but no other batter did much. Sikandar Raza made 8 and Harmeet Singh 7. Washington’s bowlers were excellent. Glenn Maxwell took 3 for 12, Saurabh Netravalkar got 3 for 13, and Jack Edwards took 3 for 19.

Washington chased the small target easily. They scored 86 for 2 in 9.2 overs. Mukhtar Ahmed made 36 from 21 balls, and Rachin Ravindra hit 32 from 23. The result was clear early, with Seattle having too few runs to defend.
