Watch: Adam Gilchrist takes wickets for West Indies Legends Courtney Walsh, MLC as Curately Ambrose begins in 2025 styles. Cricket news
The 2025 version of Major League Cricket (MLC) landed for a stunning start in Oklaland Coliseum, not only because of Finn Alan’s record-breaking innings, but also for an indifferent moment, thanks to the rich history of cricket to the center. In a special tribute to the game, West Indian Great Sir Katli Ambros and Courtney Walsh rolled back for years by distributing the formal first balls on the newly-rich pitch. Someone else standing behind the stumps had none other than the Australian legend Adam Gilchrist, a heartbreaking moment for fans. Although there was no batsman at the crease, Embros and Walsh’s vision sent delivery with Gilchrist Keeping, created a discussion among the audience and set a symbolic tone for MLC’s aspirations in the United States. It was a sign of its growing future in North America along with the past of cricket. After the moments, the focus moved into modern fireworks as Finn Alan removed a T20 masterclass for San Francisco Unicorn. His blistering 151 runs broke several records by 51 balls – the fastest 150 in T20 history, the most sixes in T20 innings (19), and the highest personal score in MLC. San Francisco posted a huge 269/5, the highest total of the league. Washington Freedom, despite a sharp start, fell under pressure, folded for just 146. Haris Rauf acted with the ball, took 3 for 3 for 30, which helped the SFU Clinch 123 win. Between mythological appearance and explosive performance, MLC began with a night to remember 2025.
