SF vs NY, Winner Predictions: MLC 2025, Match 6 [Source: @MLCricket, @MINYCricket/x.com]
The Major League Cricket 2025 juggernaut rolls on as the in-form San Francisco Unicorns (SF) take on the wounded MI New York (NY) in Match 6 on Monday, June 16 at Oakland Coliseum in California. One team’s flying high on back-to-back wins while the other is licking its wounds after a nail-biting loss.
San Francisco Unicorns
The Unicorns have come out all guns blazing this season. Two games. Two wins. First, they steamrolled Washington Freedom by a mammoth 123-run margin and then followed it up by brushing aside the Los Angeles Knight Riders by 32 runs. It is safe to say they’ve hit the ground running.
With the kind of form they are in, they willl be gunning to complete a hat-trick of wins and stay perched at the top of the MLC 2025 points table. Their batting has been explosive and their bowlers have kept things tight which makes them a well-rounded unit and arguably the team to beat right now.
MI New York
Things haven’t quite gone to plan for Nicholas Pooran’s MI New York. They have only played one match so far but it ended in heartbreak. Chasing 186 against arch-rivals Texas Super Kings, they fell short by just 3 runs in a high-pressure thriller.
The silver lining? They fought till the very end. But now, they need to shake off that rust, clear the cobwebs and get their campaign back on track. They can’t afford another slip-up, not in a tournament where momentum is everything.

How Will The Oakland Coliseum Pitch Behave?
The pitch at the Oakland Coliseum has been a belter so far. Flat deck. True bounce. Ideal for batting. The large outfield gives bowlers a slim fighting chance but batters have called the shots here. Out of the first four matches, three have been won by teams batting first. So, don’t be surprised if the toss-winning skipper decides to put runs on the board and let the pressure do the rest.
The Kiwi dasher has been tearing it up. In his last 10 matches, Allen has smashed 446 runs at an average of 44.6 and sensational strike rate of 218.62. If he gets going early, bowlers might as well fetch the ball from the stands.
Hassan Khan
A proper all-round package. With the bat, he has racked up 251 runs in his last 10 games at an average of 41.83 and a strike rate of 153.04. With the ball, he has been lethal as he has snagged 14 wickets in his last 9 games with an economy of 7.8 and a strike rate of 12.85.
Haris Rauf
Haris Rauf brings firepower to the SF bowling attack. In his last 10 games, he has picked up 9 wickets at an economy of 9.21 and a strike rate of 23.66. The lanky pacer is coming on the back of a stunning performance in the last match where he picked 4 wickets.
MI New York
Monank Patel
Monank Patel has been steady if not spectacular. In his last 8 matches, Monank has scored 195 runs at an average of 24.38, striking at 115.38. A good knock from him like he did in the last match by scoring 62 off 44 balls could set the tone.
Nicholas Pooran
Captain Nicholas Pooran will aim to lead from the front. With 186 runs in his last 8 games, Pooran averages 26.57 with a strike rate of 124. He has been the backbone of the MI NY middle order and if he clicks, the Unicorns will have to watch out.
Trent Boult
The left-arm swing king is MI NY’s spearhead. He has bagged 9 wickets in his last 8 games with an economy of 9.13 and a strike rate of 20. MINY will bank on Boult for early breakthroughs.
