MI New York will take on Los Angeles Knight Riders in Match 8 of MLC 2025 on 18 June 2025, at Oakland Coliseum, California. This article will cover match details, pitch report, playing XI, player stats, Dream11 predictions and fantasy cricket tips for the NY vs SEA match.
Match Preview
Both MI New York and Seattle Orcas are still searching for their first win of the tournament, making this match important for both sides. MI New York, despite having big names like Nicholas Pooran, Kieron Pollard, and Quinton de Kock, have not been able to turn potential into results. Their top and middle order look strong on paper but have fallen short during key phases of the match. With losses already piling up, the pressure is building quickly on a squad expected to deliver.
Seattle Orcas have also had a shaky start but bring with them a more measured approach. Under the leadership of Heinrich Klaasen, their bowling has shown signs of discipline, and their batting is built around adaptability rather than power-hitting. While they have not yet won a game, their ability to stay in the contest till the end has been a positive sign. Against a high-profile but underperforming MI New York side, the Orcas will back themselves to cause an upset.

Pitch Report of Oakland Coliseum, California Ahead of 9th Match of MLC 2025
Oakland Coliseum has thrown up a bit of everything this season—towering totals on some days and unexpected collapses on others. The pitch has varied in behavior, sometimes offering true bounce and other times keeping low, making it tricky to predict how it’ll play. That bit of uncertainty keeps both teams guessing, and reading conditions early could be crucial. With both explosive hitters and unpredictable surface traits in play, flexibility might matter more than the toss.
