Overview

• Seattle parted ways with coach Matthew Mott citing differences in coaching and management strategies in a move framed as a moment of franchise renewal by CEO Hemant Dua.
• Heinrich Klaasen stepped down as captain to concentrate on his batting and was succeeded by Sikandar Raza for the rest of the season.
• Under Raza’s leadership the Orcas chased down a 238-run target to defeat MI New York by three wickets in a last-over thriller.
• The victory snapped a five-game skid and awarded Seattle its first points of the MLC 2025 season.
• Despite the turnaround the team remains near the bottom of the standings with four group-stage matches remaining.
