The Texas Super Kings secured a place in the Major League Cricket (MLC) 2025 playoffs with key performances including Faf du Plessis' century, Donovan Ferreira's rapid fifty, and Akeal Hosein's bowling figures of 4-1-15-3. They climbed to the second spot in the points table after defeating Washington Freedom in a five-over contest, marking six wins in eight matches. However, their top-two position was challenged when the San Francisco Unicorns edged them out in a thrilling one-run victory at Lauderhill, defending a total of 148. The Unicorns maintained their position as table-toppers with this narrow win. MI New York achieved their first-ever win over the San Francisco Unicorns, propelled by Trent Boult's late innings of 22 not out off 13 balls, advancing them into Qualifier 2. In the MLC 2025 final, Lockie Ferguson's bowling restricted MI New York to 180 runs against Washington Freedom. Despite a strong 24-ball fifty from Rachin Ravindra for Washington Freedom, MI New York clinched their second MLC title, thanks to a remarkable final over by Rushil Ugarkar who defended 12 runs off 6 balls against Maxwell and Phillips under intense pressure.
