Texas Super Kings will take on the Seattle Orcas in the 7th match of Major League Cricket 2025 at the Oakland Coliseum, California, on June 17. Both teams come into this fixture with contrasting starts to their campaigns. The Super Kings, led by Faf du Plessis, have continued their tradition of consistency, registering consecutive wins against MI New York and Los Angeles Knight Riders, showcasing their batting depth with key contributions from Du Plessis, Devon Conway, and all-rounders like Marcus Stoinis and Daryl Mitchell. Their bowling, spearheaded by Adam Milne and Nandre Burger, has also looked sharp.
On the other hand, the Seattle Orcas, captained by Heinrich Klaasen, are searching for their first win after a defeat to Washington Freedom. Despite boasting experienced internationals like David Warner, Sikandar Raza, and Kyle Mayers, the Orcas will need their top order to fire and their bowling—led by Fazalhaq Farooqi and Obed McCoy—to contain the Super Kings’ powerful batting lineup.
Historically, Texas Super Kings have a slight edge in head-to-head encounters, and current form suggests they start as favorites for this clash. However, the Orcas’ mix of explosive batters and versatile all-rounders means they cannot be underestimated. With both sides featuring several international stars, fans can expect a high-quality contest under the lights in Oakland.

Oakland Coliseum Pitch Report:
The Oakland Coliseum, traditionally a baseball venue, has been newly converted to host cricket for the very first time. While detailed information about the playing conditions remains limited, early observations suggest that the pitch will offer a balanced contest between bat and ball. The surface is anticipated to be hard, providing good pace and bounce that should benefit the fast bowlers, especially in the initial overs. However, with a large outfield and even grass coverage, batters who settle in could find plenty of opportunities to score. As the match wears on and the pitch deteriorates, spinners are expected to play a more significant role, particularly during the latter part of the innings.
