The upcoming Match 16 of Major League Cricket (MLC) 2025 promises to be a tale of contrasting fortunes as the San Francisco Unicorns, the only unbeaten team in the tournament so far, gear up to face the struggling Seattle Orcas.
While the Unicorns have looked dominant with five wins in as many games, the Orcas find themselves in a desperate situation, having failed to secure a single victory in their four matches. Sitting at the bottom of the table, Seattle are under immense pressure to turn their campaign around and avoid an early exit from playoff contention.
San Francisco have showcased remarkable consistency with both bat and ball. Their top order has been firing, and the bowling attack has delivered under pressure, making them the team to beat this season.
In stark contrast, Seattle’s journey has been riddled with poor starts, batting collapses, and a lack of finishing firepower. With the tournament moving into a crucial phase, the Orcas will be looking to regroup quickly and come up with a plan to challenge the formidable Unicorns.

SEA vs SF Match Details
- Date and Time: June 26, 5:30 am / 12:00 am GMT / 7:00 PM local (June 25)
- Venue: Grand Prairie Stadium, Dallas
Grand Prairie Stadium Pitch Report:
The Grand Prairie Stadium pitch in Dallas generally favours batters, particularly in T20 encounters. Early in the innings, the surface provides good bounce and pace, enabling aggressive stroke play. While pacers may find some movement in the initial overs, the pitch tends to flatten out soon after. As the match progresses, spinners could become more effective, especially during the middle overs when the surface might slow down a bit. The short boundaries and fast outfield further contribute to the likelihood of high-scoring games.
