San Francisco Unicorns vs Washington Freedom, 1st Match, Major League Cricket 2025 - Highlights

Netravalkar to Hassan Khan, SIX, Netravalkar has just missed the yorker but Hassan manages to get under it and power it all the way over long-off to end the innings on a great note

Netravalkar to Hassan Khan, FOUR, full and wide of off stump, Hassan squeezes it past the backward point fielder for four more

Jack Edwards to Hassan Khan, SIX, this is high, not timed well but these small boundaries take it all the way. Long-on thought he could be in business but it just evaded him. Hassan may not have exactly read this slower delivery, so he mishit this

Jack Edwards to Hassan Khan, FOUR, this time the line is leg-sidish, Hassan sends it short fine leg and beats the man at deep backward square leg as well

Jack Edwards to Hassan Khan, no run, short of length and on the stumps, Hassan looks to slog and gets an inside edge onto pad probably. No he may have missed that. Freedom have reviewed, UltraEdge confirms no edge and it's umpire's call on wickets as ball is just clipping the leg bail. Bounce saved him there

Mitchell Owen to Hassan Khan, SIX, into the wicket, Hassan pulls and smacks it flat over mid-wicket for his first maximum

Mitchell Owen to Finn Allen, out Caught by Phillips!! This is in the air and taken at long-on. Allen tries to take toll again but this one has been mishit. Seems like pace off from the bowler and the bat turned in his hands. Immediately knew he was in trouble and holed out to long-on. Gets a great ovation from the crowd and a few pat on the backs from the Freedom players. Allen walks back after a sensational innings. Finn Allen c Phillips b Mitchell Owen 151(51) [4s-5 6s-19]

Ben Sears to Finn Allen, SIX, Finn Allen now holds the record for most No. of sixes in a T20 knock. He raises the bat to acknowledge his 150 as well. Slot ball, Allen muscles this high over mid-wicket. This has been a stunning innings

Holland to Finn Allen, SIX, lessons not learnt! Yet another slot ball dished out and Allen smacks the 18th six to equal the most No. of sixes by a batter in a T20 game. This one flew high and handsome over wide long-off. 220 is also the highest total in MLC history.

Holland to Finn Allen, FOUR, full and wide, Allen reaches out and slices it over short third man. Just played that with one hand as the bottom hand came off

Holland to Finn Allen, SIX, it's got to be a proper yorker or into the wicket. Slot balls have disappeared and will continue to disappear. Allen sends it soaring over mid-wicket

Jack Edwards to Hassan Khan, FOUR, oh guided uppishly, wasn't too far from backward point but he managed to clear the fielder and beat third man as well. Still only 8 off that over despite the last ball four

Jack Edwards to Connolly, out Bowled!! This time he's knocked him over. Connolly escaped the LBW first ball because it pitched outside leg. Jack Edwards pitches this around off stump and gets it to nip back in. Connolly slogs and misses again, but hits top of middle and off. Second wicket for Jack Edwards. Connolly b Jack Edwards 5(7)

Allen takes the helmet off, raises the bat, soaks in the applause and gets a warm hug from his batting partner. This has been nothing short of a stunner

Holland to Sanjay Krishnamurthi, out Caught by Maxwell!! In the airrr, not enough distance and taken at long-off by the skipper.

Netravalkar to Fraser-McGurk, out Caught by Pienaar!! Edged and caught! On a good length and holding its line outside off, JFM went very hard on the drive and then posed for the cameras, but the ball has only found the edge and it flies straight into the hands of Pienaar at short third.
