In the current season of Major League cricket being played in America, the name of the first finalist has been approved. This is the team that has also got a big opportunity to defend the title after getting the final ticket. Texas Super Kings faced Washington Freedom in MLC 2025 qualifier 1 match. There was a toss in this match but not a single ball was played. As a result, the match had to be canceled and Washington Freedom was declared its winner.
Washington Freedom in the final
Washington Freedom is the defending champion of the league. Meaning, last year he won the MLC title. And, now this time too, due to the cancellation of qualifier 1, he has got that opportunity. Why and how did Washington Freedom get this opportunity? We will talk about this, but before that we know why the important match like qualifier 1 was canceled?
Qualifier 1 canceled due to rain
The qualifier between Washington Freedom and Texas Super Kings was canceled due to 1 rain. The rain that started once did not end, after which the decision has to be taken to end the match. However, the match was tossed, which was won by Washington Freedom and decided to bowl first.
Why did Washington Freedom get the final ticket?
Now the question is why Washington Freedom got the final ticket, why not Texas Super Kings? This is because Washington Freedom Points was at number 1 in the table. The number of his won matches was more. His points were more than Texas Super Kings. Texas was the second team in the Super Kings Points Table.
Texas Super Kings will also play final!
If the qualifier was not canceled due to 1 rain, then this team may have been replaced by Washington Freedom in the final. But, it is not so now. Texas Super Kings will now have to win a qualifier to reach the final, where it will face the winning team of the Eliminator match.
