In the 9th match of the high-intensity Major League Cricket (MLC) 2025, MI New York (NY) are set to lock horns with the Seattle Orcas (SEA) at the Oakland Coliseum in California. Both teams are still searching for their first win of the tournament, making this a crucial clash.
MI New York, despite having a star-studded squad filled with T20 specialists like Nicholas Pooran, have struggled to find momentum. Their performances so far haven’t gone according to plan, with key players yet to fire at crucial moments. With reliable firepower at the top and experienced finishers in the middle, their batting unit can turn games around quickly.
Seattle Orcas, led by Heinrich Klaasen, have had a similar story so far. Known for their disciplined bowling and adaptable batting order, they’ve managed to pull off a few tight wins this season. Their top order’s form will be crucial, especially against MI’s new-ball threat.

Oakland Coliseum Pitch Report:
The Oakland Coliseum, traditionally a baseball venue, has been newly converted to host cricket for the first time. While detailed information about the playing conditions remains limited, early observations suggest the pitch will offer a balanced contest between bat and ball. The surface is expected to be hard, providing good pace and bounce to benefit fast bowlers initially. However, the large outfield and even grass coverage could allow batters to take advantage once they settle in. As the game progresses and the pitch begins to wear, spinners are likely to play a more significant role, especially during the latter part of the innings.
