MLC 2025: Texas vs San Francisco playing 11, live toss time, streaming
The Major League Cricket (MLC) 2025 season is heating up, and Match 10 promises to be its most anticipated contest yet. On June 21, two unbeaten sides — Texas Super Kings (TSK) and San Francisco Unicorns (SFU) — lock horns in a top-of-the-table showdown that could shape the tournament's early narrative. San Francisco have been the most entertaining side so far, lighting up the competition with monstrous totals of 269 and 219 in their first two games. Finn Allen and Jake Fraser-McGurk have turned heads with their power-hitting, while Xavier Bartlett showed their lower-order grit with a nervy finish against MI New York, proving SFU are more than just top-order flair. Texas, on the other hand, have built their unbeaten run on clinical bowling. After a narrow win against MINY, sealed by Daryl Mitchell's nerves of steel and two last-over run-outs, they decimated Seattle Orcas by 93 runs — bowling them out for just 60. Nandre Burger, Noor Ahmad, and Zia-ul-Haq have been relentless with the ball. It's SFU's explosive batting against TSK's disciplined bowling — a clash of styles with early MLC supremacy on the line.

Exclusive: 'Cricket in America is a sleeping giant' - Matthew Mott eyes long-term success with Seattle Orcas in MLC
File Pic: Seattle Orcas head coach Matthew Mott Former England men's and Australia women's team coach Matthew Mott talks about his new stint with Seattle Orcas, the Major League Cricket (MLC) experience, and the future of cricket in America. Renowned Australian coach Matthew Mott, who led England to a T20 World Cup title in 2022 and the Australian women's team to multiple World Cup wins, has taken charge of Seattle Orcas for Season 3 of Major League Cricket (MLC). Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! In an exclusive chat with , Mott opened up about his coaching philosophy, the growth of cricket in the US, and what it takes to build a successful franchise in an emerging cricket market. Excerpts: What drew you to the opportunity of coaching Seattle Orcas and coming to the MLC? I've set myself up for shorter tournaments now. I'm based in Cardiff, and after working with Delhi Capitals — who are also involved with Seattle — I had good feedback about the environment here. I'd spoken to Washington Freedom earlier, but when the Orcas head coach role came up, I consulted people I trust, and they said it's a great setup. Last year didn't go as planned for the team, but there's immense talent on and off the field. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo I was excited to be part of something that's building for the future. Major League Cricket 2025 Explained: Teams, Schedule & Where to Watch How does coaching in MLC compare to other international and franchise leagues? Every environment is different. The challenge here is adapting quickly - understanding the culture, fitting in, and helping shape it. I arrived a bit late due to IPL commitments, but the players have been welcoming. What excites me most is the vision - to build sustainable success over years, not just for one season. While the start hasn't gone our way, there's enough talent here. A few wins and confidence can change everything. Poll Do you believe Major League Cricket (MLC) can inspire the next generation of players in the US? Yes, absolutely! Somewhat, but it will take time No, it won't have much impact How do you balance coaching international T20 stars and nurturing local American talent? That's the art of modern coaching. Every competition has local players, and understanding how they train and best fit in is key. Not everyone can play their ideal role, so creating team-first chemistry is important. Confidence and stability matter. We're focusing on finding a structure that's repeatable and grows year on year. What kind of culture do you want to instill at Seattle Orcas? We've talked about core values. The players themselves identified honesty and team-first mentality as key. With so much crossover in T20 leagues now, it's vital to think beyond individual performance. A team-focused approach helps players thrive here and opens doors elsewhere. And at the heart of it, cricket is a people-driven game. If we manage people well, performance follows. What are the opportunities and hurdles in growing cricket in the United States? I prefer focusing on the opportunities. Events like the Olympics and the T20 World Cup in the US provide a global stage. When I coached the Australian women, we had 80,000 people at the MCG for a final. That's how a sport explodes. Once Americans experience the skill and excitement of T20 cricket - diving catches, bare-handed fielding, six-hitting - they'll fall in love with it. Cricket in the US is a sleeping giant. Sure, there will be ups and downs, but with smart owners and long-term investment, I truly believe the game can grow here. Strategic alignment across franchises and the national setup will be key. Major League Cricket: Liam Plunkett on how cricket can boom in the USA What role can a league like MLC play in building a cricket ecosystem in the US? MLC is crucial. Just like the IPL inspires kids in India, MLC can inspire kids here. It makes the game visible, local, and accessible. Young boys and girls can now dream of representing Seattle Orcas or playing for the US one day. They can watch world-class talent in their backyard. This kind of exposure, blended with local heroes, is a recipe for growth. Over time, this can feed directly into the national team. What do local players need most to reach international levels? Infrastructure is key. Most young American players tell me they just want more time on turf wickets, better net and center wicket facilities. Indoor training is good, but nothing replaces time on quality outdoor surfaces. The move to drop-in wickets helps, but consistent outdoor training is the game-changer. Training under match-like conditions regularly is what will drive player development the fastest. What role can experienced coaches like yourself play in this journey? For me, coaching is about sharing knowledge, building trust, and guiding growth. I prefer a collaborative style - ask the players where they want to take their game, help them identify strengths and areas for improvement, and be a sounding board they can rely on even outside the tournament window. You can't overhaul a player in a short tournament, but you can give direction. Sometimes just sharing a video of a similar player can trigger growth. And being available to talk - even after the tournament - is how you build something meaningful and lasting. Game On Season 1 kicks off with Sakshi Malik's inspiring story. Watch Episode 1 here

Glenn Maxwell belts 13 sixes for Washington Freedom in landmark Major League Cricket century
Glenn Maxwell may have called time on his one-day international career but he's shown his T20 brilliance remains undimmed as he took the 'Big Show' Stateside with a thrilling, landmark century in Major League Cricket. 'Maxi', who announced his decision to depart the international 50-over scene at the start of the month, demonstrated why he must still be in contention for T20 World Cup duty next year as he became the first Australian to crash a ton in the third season of the US competition. WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE: Maxwell belts 13 sixes in staggering MLC knock. Putting on his inimitable best for champions Washington Freedom, captain Maxwell, who had a wretched time in the Indian Premier League before a broken finger ruled him out of the business end of Punjab Kings' season, smashed 106no off just 49 balls as they crushed Los Angeles Knight Riders by 113 runs. Coming in at No.6 with the Freedom in some bother at 4-68 in the eighth over on Tuesday, a typically thunderous Maxwell affair, featuring 13 sixes and a couple of fours, helped blitz Freedom to 5-208 before the Washington bowlers then skittled LA for 95. It was the 36-year-old's eighth T20 ton in all. Maxwell was delighted to get back among the runs again after scoring just 48 in his six IPL innings for the Kings - and reckoned he owed a big score to his great friend and coach at both franchises, Ricky Ponting. 'It felt like just a bit of time out in the middle was all I needed to feel that confidence coming back,' said Maxwell. 'I've probably let him (Ponting) down in a few of the tournaments that we've played together. 'It's nice that last year we were able to have success in the Freedom together, and it was a shame I couldn't be around for a lot of the back end of the IPL where I broke my finger. 'I think in this tournament, to be captain and play under him, I feel like we've got a great opportunity to hopefully add to last year's trophy.' At the start of June, Maxwell called it a day after 149 ODIs, a career that featured surely the greatest innings of all-time in the format, his amazing unbeaten double ton that lifted Australia to a critical victory over Afghanistan at the 2023 World Cup. There were echoes of that magic knock in the far less pressurised situation of an MLC game at the Oakland Coliseum as he dealt almost exclusively in sixes, lambasting the seventh T20 century in the tournament's short history while helping them plunder 124 in the final 10 overs. His fellow Aussie teammate Mitchell Owen had also kicked off the fun with 32 off 11 balls as opener before he later delivered with the ball too, taking 3-18 to help dismantle the LA response.
