MLC 2025: Washington Freedom bolster top two chances by snapping Seattle Orcas' three-match winning run
Washington Freedom secured a commanding eight-wicket victory over Seattle Orcas in the 2025 Major League Cricket match, strengthening their position for a top-two finish. The win came through exceptional bowling performances from , Saurabh Netravalkar, and Jack Edwards, who each claimed three wickets, restricting Orcas to just 82 runs before Freedom chased down the target in 9.2 overs. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The match began with immediate impact as Netravalkar struck on the very first ball of the game. The early breakthrough set the tone for Freedom's dominant bowling display, with Maxwell and Netravalkar combining to take four wickets in the first four overs. Seattle Orcas found themselves in serious trouble at 19 for 5 by the sixth over, with Maxwell claiming his third wicket. Shimron Hetmyer, who had been in strong form in previous matches, could only manage five runs before becoming one of Jack Edwards' victims in the ninth over. MLC: Venky Harinarayan on growing cricket in the USA, AI-driven teams and the Olympic boost Heinrich Klaasen emerged as the lone fighter for the Orcas, scoring 48 runs off 39 balls. However, he received no support from his teammates, as all other batters failed to reach double digits. The Orcas' innings concluded in the 18th over with a total of 82, marking their third-lowest score in MLC history. Freedom's chase was led by Rachin Ravindra, who launched an aggressive assault on the Orcas' bowlers. He targeted Gerald Coetzee, Harmeet Singh, and Sikandar Raza in the opening three overs, setting the tone for a quick chase. The Orcas had opportunities to dismiss Ravindra but failed to capitalize. Aaron Jones dropped him at cover off Coetzee's bowling, and Raza couldn't hold onto a return catch in the following over. These missed chances proved costly as Freedom reached 50 for 1 by the end of the PowerPlay.

Kidambi Srikanth stuns top seed Chou Tien Chen to enter Canada Open semifinals
CALGARY: India's Kidambi Srikanth continued his impressive run to enter the men's singles semifinals with a straight-game win over top seed Chou Tien Chen of Chinese Taipei at the Canada Open Super 300 badminton tournament here. The former world championships silver medallist, who had reached the finals of the Malaysia Masters in May this year, outclassed world number six Chen 21-18 21-9 in a 43-minute quarterfinal clash on Friday night. Currently ranked 49th in the world, Srikanth will next face Japan's third seed Kenta Nishimoto for a place in the final. Earlier, S Sankar Muthusamy Subramanian, the 2022 World Junior Championships silver medallist, produced a gallant fight before going down to Nishimoto 15-21 21-5 17-21 in a gruelling 79-minute quarterfinal. In women's singles, Shriyanshi Valishetty's impressive run came to an end after she lost to Denmark's Amalie Schulz. Srikanth, the 32-year-old from Guntur who won four titles in a breakthrough 2017 season, came into the match with a 4-6 record against Chen but had beaten the Taipei shuttler in their last two meetings. He made a dominant start, racing to a 5-0 lead and keeping his nose ahead at 16-16 in the opening game. Chen briefly threatened to turn the tables, leading 17-16, but Srikanth reeled off five of the next six points to pocket the game. In the second game, Srikanth broke away from 4-4 to lead 11-6 at the interval and continued his dominance to surge to 19-7 before sealing the match with ease. Srikanth enjoys a 6-4 head-to-head record against Nishimoto, though he lost to the Japanese shuttler in their last meeting at the 2023 World Championships. With his victory, Srikanth remains the lone Indian in contention at the USD 240,000 tournament.

IND vs ENG 2nd Test Match: Siraj scalps six, Akash Deep bags four to restrict England to 407; India stretch lead to 244 runs
Mohammed Siraj (PTI Photo) BIRMINGHAM: The second over of the third day's play was an anomaly. Mohammed Siraj lost his run-up twice before strangling Joe Root down leg, only for Rishabh Pant to complete a sharp catch. Off the next ball, Siraj found the edge of England captain Ben Stokes ' bat off a sharp delivery that reared up from a length and thudded into Pant's gloves. Having reduced England to 84/5 in response to India's 587 in the first innings, it looked like Siraj and Akash Deep were bowling on a different Edgbaston pitch from the last session on Day Two. Siraj seemed to have rediscovered his rhythm. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! With him, India looked like moving in for the kill early on Friday morning. However, the moment Smith lunged forward to Siraj off the hat-trick ball and crunched him down the ground for a boundary, one knew Edgbaston was about to witness an all-out street fight after two days of dogged Test cricket in the second Test. 05:18 IND vs ENG 2nd Test: Rain Arrives After Stumps on Day 3 | What It Means for India's Batting Few would have imagined at that point that it would take another 68 overs, and conceding another 324 runs, for India to eventually secure a lead of 180 runs. It's often said that Day Three is the 'moving day' in a Test match. On Friday, things moved at dizzying speed, with England wicketkeeper Jamie Smith and Harry Brook bludgeoning 303 runs for the sixth wicket in 59.4 overs of exhilarating batting. Poll Will India's lead be enough to secure a win in this Test match? Yes, they have a solid advantage No, England can chase it down It will depend on the next session's play In recent times, Siraj has not looked as potent as he did on Friday, running in with all his heart, all day long, with just wickets on his mind. Siraj ran through the tail with the new ball, leaving Smith stranded unbeaten on 184 off 207 balls after Akash Deep went through the defences of Brook, who scored 158 glorious runs of 234 deliveries. With figures of 6/70, the Siraj of old had resurfaced. India had found someone to lead the pace attack in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah. Akash Deep's 4/88 may also have settled the nerves in the team management. Unlike the English pacers, nine of Siraj and Akash Deep's 10 wickets came by beating the defence of the English batters, the ball either taking the outside edge or hitting the pads and the wickets. At stumps, India were 64/1, having lost the solitary wicket of Yashasvi Jaiswal , leg-before to Josh Tongue for 28. KL Rahul and Karun Nair were at the crease, with the lead stretching to 244 runs. Smith and Brook, when they batted, didn't merely absorb the pressure. They were out to inflict further damage to the confidence of the Indian attack, which had looked a bit out of breath in the first Test. Akash Deep press conference: On replacing Jasprit Bumrah, message from Gautam Gambhir and more England's spin-bowling coach Jeetan Patel had announced after the second day's play that their batting lineup would find a way to get back in the game. Ravindra Jadeja said that the old ball got too soft and taking wickets would become a secondary plan. It turned out both were right. Smith brought up his hundred off 80 balls, the joint third on the list of England's fastest Test hundreds, inside the first session of play. For once, Brook was left in the shade. The first session went at a pace where India deployed all their strategies which created half chances. But there was nothing halfhearted in Smith and Brook's approach. They took on the short-pitched plan and found the boundaries. They foiled India's two-spinner plan and effortlessly chipped sixes and boundaries off Jadeja and Washington Sundar. The boundaries were brought in by an unusual distance for this Test, liberating the already fearless mindset of the modern English batters. Washington, for one, looked clueless as Brook unleashed a series of reversesweeps and Smith kept milking him down the ground. Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story.
