MLC 2025 Final WF vs MINY: Head-to-Head, Pitch, Weather Report, Probable XIs & Streaming Details. The stage is set for the Major League Cricket (MLC) 2025. The defending champions, Washington Freedom, face an in-form MI New York on Sunday, July 13, at Grand Prairie Stadium, Texas.
Washington Freedom was the top team in the league stage, winning 8 of the 10 matches played, and then played straight into the final as rain washed out Qualifier 1. Glenn Maxwell leads the side and has contributions from Mitchell Owen, Mark Chapman, and, of course, Lockie Ferguson, who will all be contributing to the effort to retain the title with balance and consistency.
In contrast, MI New York has made a remarkable run. After winning just one of their first seven matches, they came through the Eliminator against the San Francisco Unicorns and the Challenger against the Texas Super Kings to reach the final.
