LAKR vs SEO (20th Match) – Highlights

In Dallas, the 20th MLC 2025 match brought an intense clash between the LAKR and SEO. In a high-octane clash that kept fans on the edge of their seats, Seattle managed to chase down a competitive target of 203 runs with just one ball remaining, securing a five-wicket victory. The match was highlighted by aggressive batting, tight bowling spells, and some excellent fielding moments, but it was the brilliance of Shimron Hetmyer that ultimately swung the game in favor of the Orcas.

A powerful batting effort saw the Los Angeles Knight Riders set a strong target of 202 runs for the Orcas. Andre Russell was the star with the bat, scoring a majestic 65 not out off just 39 deliveries, peppered with six fours and four sixes. His controlled aggression helped LA post a challenging total in the allotted 20 overs. Saif Badar also played a pivotal role in the innings, scoring a blistering 41 runs off 21 balls, including four towering sixes. Rovman Powell backed them up with a quickfire 43 not out, making sure the Knight Riders finished strong despite losing four wickets.

The LAKR’s innings began with some early wickets as Andre Fletcher and Unmukt Chand were dismissed cheaply, but the middle order’s resilience ensured a steady flow of runs. Extras also contributed 11 runs, mostly from wides, which gave Los Angeles some valuable breathing room. Seattle’s bowling attack was led by Waqar Salamkheil, who took two wickets while keeping his economy tight, and Harmeet Singh and Ayan Desai, who chipped in with a wicket apiece.

Even though Josh Brown failed to get off the mark and was out for a duck off the first ball of the inning, the Seattle Orcas were through their opening trouble, and Aaron Jones took command of the inning with a fantastic 73 runs off just 38 balls, with ten fours and two sixes. The Orcas got support from Shayan Jahangir’s 43 runs, and then Shimron Hetmyer finished the strong innings with a brilliant 64 not out, off just 26 balls. Hetmyer would have finished off the other team, hitting four fours and six sixes. Hetmyer excelled with a strike rate of 246.15, thriving in the fast-paced setting.

Seattle’s captain, Sikandar Raza, struggled for runs but contributed to the team effort with some crucial moments in the field. Kyle Mayers also finished unbeaten with 9 runs, helping stabilize the innings towards the end. The Orcas managed to overcome some expensive bowling from the Knight Riders, particularly from Jason Holder and Tanveer Sangha, who both took two wickets apiece but leaked runs at crucial stages.

Bowling for Los Angeles, Jason Holder was the pick with two wickets, while Tanveer Sangha impressed with his spin, claiming two wickets and maintaining control in the middle overs. Ali Khan and Shadley van Schalkwyk, however, struggled with their economy rates, which proved costly for the Knight Riders.

Overall, this was a high-scoring, nail-biting contest where every run mattered. SEO’s chase was anchored by aggressive stroke play and timely wickets, and the finish was a testament to the unpredictability and excitement that Major League Cricket brings to its fans.
