The Major League Cricket (MLC) 2023 season went underway earlier this week at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Texas. The tournament, being graced by a legion of global T20 superstars, recently witnessed an electrifying duel between South African internationals Quinton de Kock and Anrich Nortje.

In the third game of the competition, played between a Moises Henriques-led Washington Freedom and Wayne Parnell’s Seattle Orcas, it was the latter who emerged victorious in a nail-biting final-over thriller. Earlier in the contest, Orcas opener de Kock had launched Nortje for a massive six over deep mid-wicket before losing his middle stump to his Proteas teammate.


‘Six and Out’ sums up de Kock and Nortje’s electric duel

Earlier in the game, Washington Freedom had amassed 144-7 off their 20 overs, with skipper Moises Henriques scoring a calculated 24 and Akeal Hosein providing the finishing touches with a 22-ball 33*.

Seattle Orcas’ run-chase got underway with openers Quinton de Kock and Nauman Anwar taking guard at the crease. In the third over of the innings, a yet-to-be settled de Kock launched his South African teammate and Freedom pacer Anrich Nortje for a huge six over deep mid-wicket.

The speed demon got his revenge over his countryman off the very next ball by castling his stumps.

Despite Nortje giving his side an early breakthrough in the form of de Kock, the Orcas batters eventually prevailed in the final over of the contest.

They chased down Freedom’s 144 with two balls and five wickets to spare, with Anwar’s 48 and Imad Wasim’s unbeaten 43 emerging as the catalysts behind Orcas’ success.
