MLC 2025 Shock: Seattle Orcas Collapse for Second Lowest Total, 20-Year-Old Noor Ahmed Spins Magic with 8 Wickets

In the 7th match of Major League Cricket (MLC) 2025, Seattle Orcas suffered a humiliating collapse, getting all out for just 60 runs — the second lowest team total in the league’s history. Their 60-run effort fell short by a massive 93 runs against Texas Super Kings, who posted a competitive 153/6 in their 20 overs.

The record lowest score of 50 runs still stands, set by Los Angeles Knight Riders against MI New York in 2023, but Seattle's batting collapse brought the pressure close to that ignominious mark.

Texas Super Kings’ devastating bowling attack was the key to their crushing win, with young spinner Noor Ahmed wreaking havoc once again. The 20-year-old has been a standout performer this season, claiming a total of 8 wickets so far. Against Seattle, Noor picked up 3 wickets for just 18 runs in 4 overs, bowling an impressive 16 dot balls that choked the Orcas' scoring.

Noor's previous performances include 4 wickets for 25 runs against Los Angeles Knight Riders and 1 wicket in the opening match against MI New York, marking him as one of the season’s breakout stars.

Other Texas bowlers also shone. Zia-ul-Haq grabbed 3 wickets for 16 runs in 3 overs, earning Player of the Match honors, while Nadre Burger took 3 wickets conceding only 10 runs in 3.5 overs.

With this win, Texas Super Kings remain unbeaten with 3 wins from 3 matches, while Seattle Orcas face their second consecutive defeat, struggling to find form early in the tournament.
