Match 26 of Major League Cricket 2025 will see Washington Freedom faces off against the Seattle Orcas at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium in Lauderhill, Florida.
The Orcas had a disastrous start to their MLC 2025 campaign, suffering five straight defeats that threatened to derail their season. However, they’ve bounced back impressively, finding momentum at a crucial stage. Led by three successive Man of the Match performances from Shimron Hetmyer, the Orcas have secured three consecutive wins, rekindling hope for last year’s runners-up. Their task now is to maintain this winning streak and keep their playoff hopes alive. The Freedom, on the other hand, have already secured a place in the playoffs and currently sit third on the points table. While qualification is in the bag, this match holds significance in terms of final table placement and potential advantages going into the knockout rounds.

Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground Pitch Report
The pitch at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Lauderhill, Florida, is generally well-suited for batting across all phases of the match. Under lights, the ball travels nicely onto the bat, allowing stroke-players to play their shots with confidence. While fast bowlers might extract some early movement with the new ball, batting becomes progressively easier as dew sets in, making it difficult for bowlers to grip and control the ball effectively. Spinners, in particular, tend to struggle due to the moisture in the surface. Given these conditions, the ground often favors teams batting second, and captains winning the toss typically opt to field first.
