On the other hand, Mohammad Amir will lead the Quetta Qavalry in their debut season in this tournament. They have put together a powerful squad with depth across both batting and bowling. However, they are up against a team that has a proven track record in this tournament.

Major League Cricket is getting a lot of attention as the tournament is getting exciting with every passing season. The 2025 season witnessed some entertaining contests. The tournament witnessed some brilliant individual performances from some of the best performers in T20 Cricket from across the globe. In this piece, we discuss three batters who showed their destructive hitting with the bat, which enabled them to register the highest strike rates in the season. 

These batters batted with aggression, hitting some powerful shots, putting pressure on the opposition bowlers. The batters mentioned in the list possess different skill sets and techniques when it comes to their stroke play, but they entertained the crowds in a big way and also accelerated their strike rates, thus playing a key role for their respective sides. We discuss these batters in detail:

1.Finn Allen (San Francisco Unicorns, strike rate- 225.00 in 9 MLC games)

Finn Allen (San Francisco Unicorns)

The New Zealander is known for his powerful hitting abilities. Allen hit the ball powerfully down the ground. The 26-year-old cut the ball hard and played some powerful strokes with his back foot and front foot punches. Allen hit 35 sixes in the entire MLC season. that reflects the power the right-hander possesses.

The right-hander registered a strike rate of 225.0 in 9 MlC games this season, scoring 333 runs with a highest score of 151 in 9 matches. Allen pulled the ball and adjusted his stroke play well on different wickets accordingly. He hit some powerful shots on the up.

2.Donovan Ferriera(Texas Super Kings, strike rate-213.9 in10 MLC games)

Shimron Hetmyer (Seattle Orcas)

The West Indian cricketer can destroy any bowling lineup on his day, and Hetmyer was at his best when it came to his ability to take apart the opposition bowling lineups in the entire MLC season. The left-hander cracked the powerful shots with his strong bottom hand. The 28-year-old registered a strike rate of 209.87 in 8 MLC games this season, scoring 347 runs with 3 half-centuries to his name.

In Match 22 of the 2025 Major League Cricket (MLC) season, Seattle Orcas mounted an impressive chase against San Francisco Unicorns at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground, Lauderhill.

<![CDATA[Shimron Hetmyer bags his third POTM award to power Seattle Orcas to their third straight win]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/shimron-hetmyer-bags-his-third-potm-award-to-power-seattle-orcas-to-their-third-straight-win/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/shimron-hetmyer-bags-his-third-potm-award-to-power-seattle-orcas-to-their-third-straight-win/ Wed, 02 Jul 2025 10:41:48 GMT

The Seattle Orcas have finally been able to crack the winning formula, thanks to a late resurgence of form, primarily driven by Shimron Hetmyer's exploits with the bat. Cricket experts had completely written them off when the Orcas suffered their fifth consecutive defeat and were almost nearing an early exit from the tournament. But the team saw a remarkable turn of fortune in their last three encounters, winning all three of them convincingly, with Hetmyer at the helm. 

The West Indian dynamite played a pivotal role in helping the Orcas orchestrate three back-to-back wins.  Hetmyer carried his team on his shoulders and smashed match-winning knocks of 97 (40), 64 (26), and 78* (37) to convincingly roll over MINY, LAKR, and SFU, respectively.  On the back of his match-winning contributions in three back-to-back fixtures, SEO now have an outside chance of leaving behind LAKR and MINY in the playoff race once and for all.

A look at Hetmyer's match-winning contributions this season

At a time when SEO were down and were starting at their sixth consecutive defeat, Hetmyer defied all odds and snatched an unbelievable win from MINY on the last ball of the match. In their pursuit of a massive target of 238, SEO kept losing wickets, but Hetmyer stayed resilient and did the bulk of the heavy lifting to keep his side alive. The game went down to the last ball when one big hit was needed from Hetmyer to seal the deal. Miraculously, he pulled it off by tonking Pollard over deep fine leg for a massive six, powering SEO to their highest run chase in the MLC. He remained unbeaten on 97 in that match. 

Moving on to the LAKR clash, Hetmyer once again came good when it mattered the most. SEO managed to prevail in yet another high-scoring thriller courtesy of Hetmyer's blazing 64* (26). Needing a target of 203, SEO got themselves into a bit of a tangle as Mayers struggled with timing towards the backend. The game went all the way down to the wire when five of six were needed. With Mayers struggling, the pressure crept up, and it seemed SEO would throw it away. But Hetmyer was able to bring himself on strike, and when he did, he wasted no time in finishing it off with a maximum to ensure no further hiccups. 

Hetmyer's stellar show continued for the third time in a row against the table-toppers SFU. Batting on a tricky surface, SEO did not get off to an ideal start and were already behind in the race too soon, thanks to the excessive consumption of dot balls at the start of the run chase. Just when it looked like all hope was lost, Hetmyer stood tall once more and, almost single-handedly, dragged his team across the finish line (with a little bit of luck, of course!). The Guyanese batter turned the tide in his team's favor by launching a barrage of boundaries and sixes. He finished with a mammoth contribution of 78* (37) and bagged the third POTM award in the process. 

Hetmyer has single-handedly revived his team's chances of making it to the playoffs on the back of three consecutive match-winning performances. He now has three POTM awards and would be eyeing his fourth award on the trot when SEO faces WF in their next encounter on July 5.
