TEX vs SEA, Winner Predictions: MLC 2025, Match 7 [Source: @TexasSuperKings, @MLCSeattleOrcas/x.com]
The action continues to sizzle in the Major League Cricket 2025 and Match 7 promises to be another exciting contest as Texas Super Kings (TSK) lock horns with the struggling Seattle Orcas (SEA) on Tuesday, June 17 at the Oakland Coliseum in California. It’s an early morning face-off for Indian fans with the match starting at 6:30 AM IST.
Texas Super Kings
The Super Kings have been on a roll this season. Two matches. Two wins. And loads of intent. First, they edged past MI New York in a tense 3-run thriller. Then, they absolutely bulldozed the Los Angeles Knight Riders, winning by a massive 57-run margin.
Their confidence is sky-high and they will be itching to make it three in a row and climb to the top of the table. With the kind of balance they have shown: fire at the top, control in the middle and bite with the ball, they look like serious contenders already.
Seattle Orcas
On the other hand, Seattle Orcas are in a bit of a pickle. They’ have played just one game so far and it was one to forget. Up against Washington Freedom, they could only post 145/9, a total that was comfortably chased down with five wickets to spare.
Their batters failed to fire and the bowlers didn’t have enough to work with. Now, they will look to shake off the rust, regroup and bounce back hard before the season slips away from them.

How Will The Oakland Coliseum Pitch Behave?
The pitch at the Oakland Coliseum has been conducive for batters. Flat deck. Good bounce. No nasty surprises. Out of the first six matches, four have been won by teams batting first so the captain winning the toss will aim to bat first. The outfield is big, so boundaries need to be earned but once a batter gets in, runs come in bunches. Expect another high-scoring game unless someone bowls a dream spell.
The TSK skipper has been in sublime form in recent times. In his last 10 matches, Faf has piled on 446 runs at an average of 44.6 and a strike rate of 165.18. Expect some clean hitting and calm captaincy from the veteran.
Devon Conway
Mr. Consistent, Devon Conway has been in red-hot form as he has scored 392 runs in his last 10 games at a stellar average of 56 with a strike rate of 145.18. He is the anchor TSK need if they’re looking to post or chase something big.
Noor Ahmad
The left-arm Afghan sensation has been sharp with the ball. In his last 6 games, he has picked up 14 wickets with an economy of 7.46 and an unreal strike rate of 10.28. Expect him to turn the screws in the middle overs.
Seattle Orcas
Heinrich Klaasen
Heinrich Klaasen has had a slow patch of late. Just 114 runs in his last 8 matches at a strike rate of 118.75 and an average of 16.29. He willl need to find his groove if the Orcas want to make any noise this season.
Cameron Gannon
With 12 wickets in his last 8 games, Gannon has been one of the few bright sparks. Though a bit expensive with a 9.92 economy, he strikes every 12.5 balls and that could come in handy on a batter-friendly surface.
Harmeet Singh
A utility player with potential. With the bat, he has managed 44 runs in his last 7 matches but needs to step it up. With the ball, he has fared better with 9 wickets in 6 games, economy of 7.83 and strike rate of 14.22. If he clicks in both departments, Seattle’s fortunes could turn.
