SEA vs WAS Dream11 Prediction MLC 2025, Match 4, Team News, Pitch Report, Squad, Fantasy Teams

The first Saturday of Major League Cricket 2025 is going to be a doubleheader. The afternoon game will see San Francisco Unicorns taking on Los Angeles Knight Riders. The evening game will feature defending champions Washington Freedom going up against last season’s bottom-placed team, Seattle Orcas.

The current title holders, Washington Freedom, had a nightmare of an opening game, as they were brutally taken down by last season’s finalists, San Francisco Unicorns, in the MLC 2025 opener by a mammoth margin of 123 runs. A defeat margin of above 100 runs in a T20 is always an intimidating one, and now Freedim will need to pull up their socks and perform much better in this game against the Seattle Orcas.

As mentioned above, Orcas finished last season at the bottom of the table but should be hopeful this season, especially with the squad they have at their disposal. Led by the prolific former South African wicket-keeper batter Heinrich Klaasen, Orcas do pack a punch with the likes of David Warner, Shimron Hetmyer, Gulbadin Naib, Harmeet Singh, Aaron Jones, and Sikandar Raza, to name a few. Boasting a strong squad, Orcas should start as the favorites in this game.

Let’s delve deeper into this post for the SEA vs WAS Dream11 prediction.

SEA vs WAS MLC 2025, Match 4, Oakland Coliseum in California Pitch Report

The pitch at Oakland Coliseum in California is expected to be favorable for batting, offering a flat surface that allows stroke play. Bowlers will need to maintain tight lines and lengths, as the unusual boundary dimensions could make containment challenging. While pacers might find some early movement, spinners could play a crucial role as the game progresses.
