Freedom’s Power Pick: Mitchell Owen is in the MLC! ⚡
Another big international name joins Major League Cricket!
The trio—Zee @thezeezaidi, Aaman @apsportsnews_, and Nate @cricfanusa—return to break down Washington Freedom’s latest signing: Mitchell Owen. Fresh off a blazing Big Bash season with two centuries, including one in the final, Owen brings serious firepower. “You perform like *that* in a final—get ‘em in the squad,” says Nate.
With stints in both the IPL and PSL this year, Owen’s global T20 experience is unmatched. Aaman highlights the explosive potential of Owen linking up with Rachin Ravindra or Andries Gous, calling it a combination that’s sure to turn heads.
Is Washington Freedom quietly building a title run? Let’s talk.
In a tense Orcas vs Super Kings moment, McCoy’s brutal bouncer kissed Faf’s bat—straight to the safe hands. 🎯 🔥
Join San Francisco Unicorns @sfounicorns batter Jake Fraser-McGurk @jakefm23 as he breaks down in hysterics at his post-match press conference with a laugh-out-loud story about teammate Shorty’s outrageous arrival! 😆 🩳
What started as a running joke — “you might as well rock up in your budgies” — became reality when Shorty @mattshort_ ditched his shirt and shorts just as the team bus pulled up, stepping out in nothing but his underwear! Jake breaks it down with classic Aussie humor, teasing Shorty’s legendary Instagram appearances in his budgy smugglers.
Get the full story, team laughs, and behind-the-scenes vibes from the Unicorns’ camp.
📺 Don’t miss this golden MLC moment!
In a spectacular display of power hitting, Finn Allen @finnallen32 blasted a record-breaking 151 runs for the San Francisco Unicorns @sfounicorns in the MLC 2025 opener against Washington Freedom! 🔥
Allen’s explosive knock, featuring a jaw-dropping 19 sixes, has rewritten the record books, breaking the previous world record for most sixes in a T20 innings (18). The previous best was 18, jointly held by Chris Gayle (in BPL 2017) and Sahil Chauhan (against Cyprus in 2024).
This wasn’t just a knock—it was absolute cinema! 🎬 Will anyone be able to top this performance in @MLC 2025? 🏏
LAKR Land Jason Holder! Big Hitter, Leader, All-Round Star
Zee @thezeezaidi, Aaman, and Nate are back to break down another massive international signing for the Los Angeles Knight Riders — Jason Holder @jaseholder98! 🌴 🔥
The trio dives into why this is a brilliant pick-up by LAKR @lakriders, highlighting Holder’s outstanding leadership experience with the West Indies and in the CPL @cplt20, where he’s been a game-changer on and off the field.
Known for his big-hitting ability, Holder strengthens LAKR’s core as a dynamic all-rounder. Whether it’s launching sixes down long-on and long-off with that incredible reach, or contributing with the ball as a reliable right-arm option, Jason brings balance, power, and versatility.
LAKR are clearly doubling down on this role — and with Holder in the mix, the impact will be undeniable. Tune in as the guys break it all down and talk about what this means for LA’s chances this season! 💜 💛

Seattle Orcas @mlcseattleorcas CEO Hemant Dua shares the inside story behind selecting Jessy Singh as the first overall draft pick for Major League Cricket @mlc 2025.
Hemant explains how the team spent extensive time analyzing games and identified the crucial need for a quality domestic pace bowler.
When Jessy @jessysingh29 entered the draft pool, his strong performances in the Minor League and impressive bowling for the USA in the 2024 T20 World Cup made him the obvious choice.
Hemant reveals there was no doubt Jessy would be their number one pick — a talent they’ve been closely tracking and are excited to have on board for the upcoming season.
Callum Stow: The New Spin Ace for San Francisco Unicorns!
San Francisco Unicorns @sfounicorns have made a fantastic international signing with left-arm wrist spinner Callum Stow @callumstow! Nate is buzzing to see a quality left-arm wrist spinner making waves in Major League Cricket.
Despite a brief Big Bash League career, Callum’s stats are eye-popping — a 6.25 economy rate and an average of just 14.16. Aaman believes Stow could be phenomenal in a Unicorns team already stacked with domestic left-arm spinners.
Watch as Zee @thezeezaidi, and his friends Nate and Amman analyze this brilliant pick by the Unicorns.
