MLC 2025: 3 San Francisco Batters to Watch in the Third Match vs LAKR

It isn’t just cricket when the Unicorns are on the field; it is a show, an event, a breathtaking firework extravaganza. With some big-hitting batters in a team filled with aggressive run getters, the rapid scoring capabilities of this team took off like none other was able to during their MLC 2025 limited games. With match 3 fast approaching and everyone’s gaze switching to the men in red and gold, it gets even more exhilarating when you see the damage a top-order trio can provide.

Finn Allen

Finn Allen isn’t just striking the ball—he’s writing flaming letters to bowlers with every swing. With 457 runs in 10 matches at an average of 45.7 and an absurd strike rate of 213.55, Allen isn’t just getting starts — he’s setting the tone, obliterating bowlers, and probably causing nightmares from opposition changing rooms.

His danger comes from not only raw power but the intent from ball one. Allen doesn’t get sighters; he gets boundaries. He will be hunting the power play like a lion hunts a gazelle. If he gets through the first two, especially from the air, the game is over.

 Hassan Khan

Finn Allen may be the main act, but Hassan Khan is a true sleeper hit, quickly becoming a fan favorite. Traditionally known more so for his left-arm spin, Hassan has emerged as a legitimate middle-order weapon. His 242 runs, at an average of 48.4 with a strike rate of 151.25, says “underrated game-changer”.

So what is it that makes him different from other hitters? He can finish an innings clear and calm – something most teams want but hardly ever find. He is the guy that doesn’t need 50 balls to make 50 (he’d only need 25!!) and would make it look good when he does it! No other player will launch innings for the one-day team if the top-order has set the platform, like Khan.

Sanjay Krishnamurthi

Sanjay Krishnamurthi may not have the monster numbers yet – 205 runs coming in at a 25.62 avg and a 142.36 SR – but what he does have is the X-factor. The ability for a powerful and potentially reckless player to come in at 70/4 and get the score to something in the range of 180/6 is going to be dangerous!

Krishnamurthi’s major asset is his flexibility. He’s not going to close the game down as one-dimensional; he can anchor, rotate, and mix it up when he needs to. With teams so focused on Allen and Khan, don’t be surprised if Sanjay flies under the radar and steals the full show!

The San Francisco Unicorns are not only entertaining to watch—they are terrifying, and that terror comes from a top-order that is filled with form, intent, and style. Whether Allen is going nuts in the powerplay, Khan finishing things off cool and collected, or Krishnamurthi bringing a little magic, between these three players, the 3rd match could be decided in one batting session flat.
