Major League Cricket (MLC) 2026 On Thursday we witnessed another magical bowling display USA pacer Jasdeep Singh broke through Washington Freedom (WF) batting order during a collision against Seattle Orcas (SO). Chasing a mammoth target of 228, Liberty required a strong start from their experienced top order, but Jasdeep had other plans as he destroyed the opposition with his sensational new-ball magic.
The right-arm seamer produced sharp movements from the surface and consistently disturbed the batters with his tweezer stitches. After removing Steven Smith earlier in the innings, Jasdeep came back for the second time and took out two absolute stones leaving both Andries Gous and Glenn Maxwell unanswered. The sacks immediately shifted the momentum in Seattle’s favor, sparking wild celebrations among Orcas players.
Jasdeep Singh bowls Andries Gous and Glenn Maxwell with consecutive peach deliveries
An unforgettable moment happened in the fifth part of Washington Freedom’s innings. On the first ball, Jasdeep hit a teasing length shot with a pinch seam that pulled back sharply after the toss. Ghose tried to defend but was beaten on the inside edge as the ball hit the middle and leg stumps and the stumps flew.
If the first wicket was impressive, the next delivery was even better. Faced with his first ball, Maxwell was met with another delivery of a similar length before being pulled back through the wicket. The Aussie star rooted to the crease and offered an initial defensive push, only to watch the ball sneak between bat and pad and cleave the top of the off-stump.
There was a celebration after Jasdeep completed the double, while Maxwell returned without troubling the scorers. Two stunning wickets put the pacer on a hat-trick and let the Washington Freedom down early on a massive run chase. The clips quickly went viral on social media, with fans applauding Jasdeep for producing one of the best bowling performances of the tournament.
