Seattle Orcas have made a terrible start to the Major League Cricket 2025 season, having lost all four games so far. Seattle, which had lost three games, had faced the LA Knight Riders in their previous game on Sunday. The Orcas batted first and scored 177 on the board from 20 overs, with Aaron Jones top scoring 44 runs.

In reply, LA Knight Riders won the game by six wickets with 10 balls to spare. Unmukt Chand was the best batter with 86 not out from 58 balls with ten boundaries and four sixes. Saif Badar was the second highest scorer with 54 runs from 32 balls with two boundaries and four sixes.

Here is the likely Seattle Orcas vs San Francisco Unicorns

Top order – Shayan Jahangir, David Warner

Shayan Jahangir has made a steady start to the MLC 2025 season and has played two games for the Orcas so far. Jahangir has scored 69 runs from those two games and also taken two catches as the wicketkeeper. The 30-year-old is a steady batter at the top of the order. David Warner, who is one of the best batters in this format of the game, has played four games so far and scored 82 runs and will want to do better in the next few games and help Orcas win their first game of the season.

Middle Order – Aaron Jones, Kyle Mayers, Heinrich Klaasen

USA batter Aaron Jones began the MLC 2025 season scoring 39 runs from his first three games. In the game against LAKR, Jones scored 44 to take his season tally to 83 runs. Jones, who was one of the best batters in the T20 World Cup last year, will want to regain his best form soon. West Indian star Kyle Mayers has played four games this season, scoring 129 runs with a best of 88 that came against MINY. Klaasen, on the other hand, has scored just 48 runs and hasn’t been able to do well so far this season.

Lower-order- Shimron Hetmyer, Sikandar Raza, Gerald Coetzee

Batter Shimron Hetmyer, who had a terrible IPL 2025 season, has continued to see runs hard to come by so far. The left-handed batter has managed to score just 81 runs from the four games for Seattle this season. Veteran Zimbabwean star Sikandar Raza, too, has played four games and scored 35 runs with the bat and managed to pick just three wickets so far. Gerald Coetzee made his MLC debut against LAKR. He is a very good fast bowler and lower-order batter with the talent to score key runs.

Tail enders – Harmeet Singh, Jasdeep Singh, Cameron Gannon

Veteran left-arm spin bowler Harmeet Singh has picked up four wickets so far and will want to hit his best strides soon. Jasdeep Singh has also been decent so far with the ball, but will have to pick more wickets if Seattle has to make a strong comeback in the current season. Veteran seamer Cameron Gannon has picked a total of two wickets from the three games he has played and will be expected to contribute more in the next few games.
