Unbeaten Washington Freedom meet Seattle Orcas in their third match of the Major League Cricket 2024 season at the Grand Prairie in Dallas on Thursday. 

Our match against SO on July 11 is scheduled to start at 8:30 PM ET (July 12, 6:00 AM IST). The MLC 2024 game will be available to watch on LIVE streaming and broadcast.

We are currently second in the MLC 2024 points table with three points from two games.

Our last match against Texas Super Kings at Morrisville on Monday was abandoned due to rain after we were well-placed after four overs in the chase.

Openers Travis Head and Steve Smith looked in majestic touch and remained unbeaten when rain stopped proceedings. For the second match in running, Saurabh Netravalkar was the star performer for us, with the ball.

WF vs SO, MLC 2024: Players to watch out

Netravalkar came up with another inspiring performance picking up 2/33 from four overs to restrict Texas Super Kings to 203/5 after they were looking set for a huge total. He pulled things back dismissing both the openers and bowled a total of 12 dot balls in his spell.

The Australian duo of Smith and Head were destructive at the top giving us an incredible start against TSK. They added 62 runs from just 24 balls, out of which 50 runs came in boundaries, courtesy of the five sixes and boundaries the pair smashed. 

Akeal Hosein was impressive with both bat and ball in our last encounter with the Seattle Orcas in MLC 2023. He remained unbeaten on 33 from 22 balls before picking up a wicket with the ball.
