The Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas is all set to host the bottom two teams. The bottom-placed Los Angeles Knight Riders will be up against the second last Seattle Orcas in match 12 of the competition. A high-stakes match for both these sides, as both are seeking their first win of the season after being deprived of a win in their previous 3 fixtures. In this post, we have come up with free expert tips for the 12th match of MLC 2025, SEA vs LAS in Dallas.
Both Seattle Orcas and Los Angeles Knight Riders are eager to get going in the tournament with a win under their name. Having played three games each without a win, Knight Riders are languishing right at the bottom, whereas Seattle Orcas are just above them at the 5th spot, courtesy of a better net run-rate. Both teams are low on confidence, but we are backing Orcas to come good in the encounter. Let’s continue with the post and find out the best cricket tips for the 12th match of MLC 2025, SEA vs LAS.
LAS: 48% win chance SEA: 52% win chance
Unmukt Chand is one of the batters who has shown some sort of resilience batting at 3. Having already scored a fifty this season, expect Unmukt to be among the runs in this match.
Fresh off a whirlwind 88 in the last game, Mayers will be a key figure at the top for the Orcas. He will be a good bet with the ball as well.
This is one risky bet, as Hales hasn't been in the best of nicks this season. The Englishman is due for a good knock and this could be the match where he could come to the party.
Klaasen is another batter who hasn't been on song in this edition of MLC. However, the Orcas skipper would be hoping to return to form against a team that is struggling already.
Check out our prediction for the SEA vs LAS Major League Cricket 2025, Match 12.
Despite falling short in their previous fixture against MI New York, the Seattle Orcas should take away the fact that their batting unit, which was under the pump in previous fixtures, finally got going. The team should enter this contest with renewed belief and grit. Their spirited performance showcased a team unwilling to back down, even when faced with one of the strongest sides in the tournament.
The batting unit held its nerve under pressure, stringing together partnerships that kept the game alive deep into the innings. Meanwhile, the bowlers still need to do more, because the inability to defend a score of 200+ doesn’t showcase the quality their bowling lineup has up their sleeve. Whatever happened in the last three games should be a learning for Orcas and they should enter this contest with their heads held high to tame an already struggling outfit of Los Angeles Knight Riders.
If the Seattle franchise can build on this foundation, address a few tactical lapses, and channel the same fighting spirit moving forward, they could soon find themselves on the right side of the results. Momentum might just be a spark away, and the Orcas seem ready to catch fire.
The Los Angeles Knight Riders are under growing pressure in MLC 2025, reeling from three consecutive defeats that have thrown their campaign off balance. Their woes began with a high-scoring loss to San Francisco, where their death bowling unraveled under pressure. That was followed by a dismal outing against Texas, as their top order collapsed in a meek batting display. Most recently, they fell short against the reigning champions, Washington Freedom, despite a spirited fight.
The Knight Riders now face a do-or-die clash against the resurgent Seattle Orcas. To turn things around, the team must find solutions quickly. Their batting lineup, flush with firepower on paper, needs to convert promising starts into match-defining innings. The bowlers, especially in the middle overs, must tighten their lines and apply more control to prevent opposition accelerations.
With regular skipper Jason Holder available for the remainder of the season, the team should fancy their chances of reviving their campaign and going deep in the tournament. As of now, they should focus on their next challenge in the form of the Seattle Orcas.
