Play of the Day: Kyle Mayers
Most Valuable Player of the Day: Shimron Hetmyer
Shimron Hetmyer (Most Valuable Player of the Day): "Tired. Very very tired. But I'm happy that we got over the line. Me and my wife pray a lot before a game.
For me basically, I focus too much on having a decent enough score on the board from the top order. That helps me to bat in a free mind. My legs are in a bit of worry. I hope to get a good rest and come back."

Sikandar Raza (Seattle Orcas Captain): "Suddenly I thought the win yesterday helped us a lot. A slightly tricky track was today but we got over the line.
The beauty of cricket is that there is no perfect game. You will make mistake and still have a good day. When I walk in as captain, I try to keep the emotions in check.
When Dre Russ came in, we tried to add some mystery to the attack. So we brought Waqar Salamkheil. Credit to Dre that he batted beautifully. We changed our batting because when Kyle was fielding, he got a blow in his wrist. So we promoted Jones up in the order and he grabbed the opportunity with both hands."

That marks the end of our coverage from the 20th T20 match of MLC 2025 between Los Angeles Knight Riders and Seattle Orcas. Los Angeles Knight Riders have experienced yet another defeat and they continue to be at the nadir of the points table with just 2 points from the 7 games they played. Seattle Orcas have moved to four points with consecutive victories in the last two games and Shimron Hetmyer has been the architect of those two victories.
For now, this is Saptak Sanyal signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Akshaya Krishna Polya and our scorer/analyst Ashok Dayma. Have a good day.
