MLC 2023 Most Runs and Most Wickets standings: Andre Russell and Cameron Gannon lead the charts – Updated after Match 13

Two games were played at Church Street Park in Morrisville on Sunday (July 23). Seattle Orcas locked horns with Los Angeles Knight Riders at 11 PM IST whereas Washington Freedom clashed with MI New York later in the day at 3 AM IST.

Los Angeles Knight Riders were playing for their pride. They had already crashed out of this year’s MLC competition after suffering four back-to-back defeats. Seattle, on the other hand, suffered their first defeat of the tournament.

However, despite their defeat, the team was out of the woods as they had already made their way to the playoffs with three impressive wins. In the end, the Knight Riders earned a consolation victory and closed out the tournament on a positive note.

The clash between Washington Freedom and MI New York ended up in a one-sided affair. Washington Freedom had a brilliant outing with the ball in their last game where Saurabh Netravalkar’s 6/9 rescued San Francisco’s batting to rubbles.

But the same cannot be said about their fixture today as Washington bowlers showed no intent with the ball and allowed the game to drift away way too early. MI New York earned a crucial win in today’s game which keeps their playoff hopes intact. Washington on the other hand, has already qualified for the playoffs.
