The fourth game of Major League Cricket (MLC) 2025 is an exciting tie between the Seattle Orcas (SEA) and the Washington Freedom (WAS) at the legendary Oakland Coliseum on June 15, 2025. The Orcas, captained by Heinrich Klaasen and coached by Matthew Mott, hope to recover from a poor season in 2024 when they last-placed themselves with just a single victory. With a team comprised of David Warner, Shimron Hetmyer, and Sikandar Raza, SEA are looking to make an impact. Washington Freedom, the 2024 MLC titleholders with Steve Smith at the helm, suffered a heavy loss against the San Francisco Unicorns in the season opener while chasing 269/5. With Rachin Ravindra, Glenn Maxwell, and Saurabh Netravalkar, WAS looks to use their championship credentials to get back on track. This evening's encounter guarantees high-energy T20 cricket action in front of a lively 12,000-strong audience in celebration of MLC's historic West Coast foray.

Oakland Coliseum Cricket Stadium Stats

The Oakland Coliseum is hosting its inaugural high-level cricket games in MLC 2025, using a drop-in pitch from Nassau County, New York. The pitch provides initial seam movement followed by batsman-friendly conditions, as witnessed in the high-scoring opener. Since Match 4 is the second match of a double-header on June 15, the pitch can flatten further, and that might result in another high-scoring match.
