Who Will Win San Francisco Unicorns vs Seattle Orcas 16th T20 Major League Cricket 2025 Prediction – 26th June
The San Francisco Unicorns vs Seattle Orcas prediction ahead of the 16th match in Major League Cricket 2025 points clearly in favor of the red-hot Unicorns. This fixture is set to be played on Thursday, 26th June 2025, at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas. The Unicorns are in top form, sitting at the top of the points table with five wins in five games, while the Orcas are still winless and sinking deeper after four consecutive losses. Given their contrasting form and performance, San Francisco enter this clash as heavy favorites.
Seattle’s bowling and batting have failed to click collectively, while the Unicorns have found match-winners across departments. With Finn Allen, Jake Fraser-McGurk, and Matthew Short firing with the bat, and Haris Rauf and Xavier Bartlett leading the bowling, the Unicorns look like a complete unit.
This is a must-win clash for Seattle, but they’ll need a miracle to halt San Francisco’s juggernaut.

Team Previews
San Francisco Unicorns Preview
The Unicorns have been the standout team of MLC 2025, registering five consecutive wins. Their most recent triumph was a comprehensive 47-run victory over MI New York, where they defended a mammoth 247.
The success begins at the top with Finn Allen, who has been sensational with 294 runs in 4 innings at a strike rate of 247. Partnering him is Jake Fraser-McGurk, who has piled on 196 runs in five innings at a blistering pace.
Captain Matthew Short is regaining form, proven by his 91 off 43 in the previous outing. Their top-order has consistently set up massive totals.
With the ball, Haris Rauf leads the charge with 12 wickets, supported well by Xavier Bartlett and Hassan Khan, who have shared 15 wickets. The Unicorns’ bowling may be slightly expensive, but it’s been effective in defending big totals.
Seattle Orcas Preview
The Orcas have had a miserable run, losing all four of their matches and sitting at the bottom of the table. They were recently beaten by LA Knight Riders by 6 wickets, further denting morale.
Kyle Mayers has been their standout batter, scoring 129 runs in four games with good intent. However, big names like David Warner, Heinrich Klaasen, and Shimron Hetmyer have disappointed. Warner and Klaasen have failed to anchor the innings, while Hetmyer and Sikandar Raza have lacked consistency.
The bowling department is equally underwhelming. Harmeet Singh leads with 4 wickets, but none of the others—Raza, Jasdeep Singh, or Coetzee—have made a serious impact. Without early wickets or scoreboard pressure, the Orcas have leaked runs regularly.
They’ll need to bring in tactical changes and spark from senior players to remain competitive.
