Table-toppers San Francisco Unicorns (SF) and Los Angeles Knight Riders (LAS) will collide in match number three of the 2025 Major League Cricket (MLC) season. The match will be hosted by the Oakland Coliseum in Oakland and the action will commence from 2:30 AM IST onwards in the early hours of Sunday, June 15.

San Francisco Unicorns

San Francisco Unicorns crushed defending champions Washington Freedom in the opening match of the MLC 2025 season a couple of days ago at the same Oakland venue. Opening batter Finn Allen rained down 19 sixes in his record knock of 151 runs from just 51 balls as Unicorns mounted 269-5 off 20 overs. Hassan Khan’s all-round excellence also came to the fore as the Unicorns scripted a huge NRR-boosting 123-run win.

Los Angeles Knight Riders

The Los Angeles Knight Riders will be led by legendary T20 all-rounder Sunil Narine. He will be accompanied by fellow T20I behemoths like Andre Russell, Anrich Nortje, Jason Holder, Alex Hales, Rovman Powell, Andre Fletcher in a star-studded line-up. Back in 2024 last year, the Los Angeles Knight Riders failed to qualify for the playoffs by finishing fifth on the points table with just two wins and five defeats from seven matches.

How Will The Oakland Coliseum Pitch Behave?

The conditions at the Oakland Coliseum in Oakland are generally considered to be favourable for batting. Even in the ongoing MLC 2025 season, teams batting first have managed to rack up big and competitive totals. For fast bowlers, it is imperative for them to make the new ball count before batters can adjust themselves to the pace of the surface. All in all, fans can expect another high-scoring cracker since we are still into the earlier stages of the season.

Players To Watch Out For In SF vs LAS Match 3

San Francisco Unicorns

Finn Allen

San Francisco Unicorns opener Finn Allen brought up a 34-ball century against Washington Freedom in the opening match of the MLC 2025 season. The explosive New Zealander blasted 151 runs in all from just 51 balls with five fours and 19 sixes to light up the tournament.

Hassan Khan

Pakistan-born USA all-rounder Hassan Khan scored a cracking 18-ball 38*to turbo-charge the San Francisco Unicorns in the tournament opener. The cricketer also picked up three key wickets to derail the Washington Freedom run-chase.

Haris Rauf

Pakistan paceman Haris Rauf made his presence felt for the San Francisco Unicorns by picking up three crucial wickets. The speedster conceded just 30 runs from his end on the high-scoring Oakland surface.

Los Angeles Knight Riders

Sunil Narine

Seasoned T20 all-rounder Sunil Narine will start out as one of the most experienced members from the Los Angeles Knight Riders group. The captain of the side, the cricketer has played nearly 550 T20 games, and is currently one of the format’s leading wicket-taker with 586 wickets, and has scored 4,622 runs at a strike rate of 149.67.

Andre Russell

Andre Russell holds an explosive T20 strike rate of 168.68 after playing 552 matches. The blistering ball-striker can also lend his arm to bowl four overs in a game, considering the speedster has already picked up 475 wickets in the format.

South African speedster Anrich Nortje turned out to be one of the bowlers of the tournament in last year’s T20 World Cup 2024, an event that was co-hosted by the USA. Nortje averages an impressive 22.90 in T20s, and has picked up 181 wickets so far in his career.
