Dynamic Australian batter Glenn Maxwell lit up the eighth match of the ongoing Major League Cricket (MLC) 2025 between Washington Freedom and Los Angeles Knight Riders with a breathtaking display of power-hitting. Batting at number six, Maxwell unleashed the beast out of himself to notch up an unbeaten 106 off just 49 deliveries.

Maxwell’s whirlwind knock comprised 13 towering sixes and two boundaries as his explosive knock powered Washington Freedom to a formidable 208-run total. The fans at the Oakland Coliseum in California were left in awe of Maxwell’s fearless intent and audacious shot-making that stole the show.

Table - Batters with Most T20 Centuries

Moreover, Maxwell also became the first batter to score a century while batting at number six in Major League Cricket. His 13 sixes equaled Nicholas Pooran’s tally for the second-most in an MLC innings, only behind Finn Allen’s 19 sixes smashed last week.

Maxwell Madness Leaves LA Knight Riders in Ruins

Maxwell’s explosive century set the tone for Washington Freedom’s commanding 113-run victory, as they posted a towering 208 on the board. In reply, the Knight Riders went down without a fight, bundled out for a mere 95 runs.

Jack Edwards and Mitchell Owen were the pick of the bowlers for Washington Freedom as both of them claimed three wickets apiece, while Saurabh Netravalkar also contributed with two wickets for just six runs in his four. With this dominant win, Freedom strengthened their third-place standing, gaining two valuable points in the MLC 2025 table.
