Seattle Orcas (SEA) are set to face MI New York (NY) in match number 18 of the high-intensity Major League Cricket (MLC) 2025. With both teams enduring a disappointing run so far, this clash becomes a must-win encounter to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Seattle, led by Heinrich Klaasen, are yet to register a single win this season and currently sit at the bottom of the points table. Despite having several promising players in their ranks, the team has struggled across all departments. With the league now entering its final phase, a victory is their only chance to stay in contention.
The defending champions from the 2023 season, MI, have also had a forgettable campaign. With just one win in five matches, they are placed fourth on the points table. Despite boasting a star-studded squad led by Nicholas Pooran, their underwhelming performances have surprised many.

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.
