Shimron Hetmyer became the talk of the town after he pulled off a heist in the last-ball thriller of MLC 2025, leaving his teammates absolutely elated. With six runs required off the final delivery and Kieron Pollard charging in, the pressure was immense on the batter.

But Shimron Hetmyer showed remarkable composure under pressure and delivered a dramatic finish. The aggressive left-handed batsman launched the final ball over the boundary ropes as Seattle Orcas chipped in with a stunning three-wicket win in their high-scoring clash against MI New York in Dallas.

Notably, it was also the Seattle Orcas’ first win of the 2025 Major League Cricket (MLC) season. The Seattle Orcas breathed a sigh of relief as this win ended a disappointing five-match losing streak. Chasing an imposing target of 238, the Orcas went on to pull off one of the most remarkable finishes in the tournament’s short history.

More crazy final ball scenes in the MLC! 🤯

Earlier, MI New York set the stage with a mammoth total of 237 for 4 in their allotted quota of 20 overs. After losing opener Quinton de Kock for just 1, Nicholas Pooran led the recovery with a scintillating unbeaten century. The MI New York captain scored 108* off 60 balls. He paced his quickfire innings with the help of 7 fours and 8 sixes.

On the other hand, he was ably supported by Tajinder Singh, who fell just short of a century but left a lasting impact with a blazing 95 off only 35 deliveries. He constructed his innings with the help of 8 fours and 8 sixes. The duo propelled MI New York to a commanding total.

Seattle’s chase got off to a shaky start, and the innings appeared to be slipping away at 138 for 5. However, Hetmyer turned the game on its head with a counter-attacking innings that combined power with poise. The left-hander, who walked in at No. 6, assessed the conditions before he went about his business. He remained unbeaten on 97 off 40 balls, where he hammered 5 fours and 9 sixes.

With the equation narrowing down to six off the final ball, Hetmyer showed nerves of steel when it mattered the most. His last-ball six off Pollard not only completed the chase but also handed Seattle their maiden win of the season. It was a much-needed boost for the Seattle Orcas, who now look to carry the momentum into the rest of the tournament.
