MI New York wins Major League Cricket title after shaky start

Rain denied TSK the opportunity to challenge Washington Freedom in the Qualifier, but they received another chance through the Challenger. However, their title hopes ended when MI New York produced a commanding chase to deny them a place in the final.

Rain denied Washington the opportunity to play the Qualifier against Texas Super Kings, sending them directly into the final. However, despite entering the summit clash as favourites, they fell agonisingly short against MI New York by five runs, ending their title defence in heartbreak.

Seattle's campaign was marked by inconsistency. Their batting produced some memorable performances, particularly through Shimron Hetmyer, but the side struggled to put together sustained momentum and often found themselves on the wrong side of close contests.

MI New York scripted one of the most remarkable turnarounds in Major League Cricket history in 2025, lifting their second title despite winning only three of their 10 league matches.
