Major League Cricket 2026 started with a bang. In the very first match of the tournament, a batsman made headlines, who could not even open his account in his last two T20 matches. This time he showed a different color as soon as he entered the field and attacked the bowlers fiercely.
In the match played between Seattle Orcas and Texas Super Kings, Seattle batted first. The team got a great start and both its openers made a big partnership for the first wicket.
Tim Seifert, who came to open, adopted an aggressive stance from the beginning. He scored runs in every part of the ground and did not give any chance to the bowlers to make any comeback. Seifert played a brilliant inning of 104 runs in 66 balls. During this period, 8 fours and 6 sixes came from his bat. Batting at a strike rate of 157.58, he completed his century in just 64 balls.
What makes this century innings special is his recent record. Before joining MLC, he played his last two T20 matches in IPL. In both the matches, he returned to the pavilion without opening the account. There was pressure on him after being out on zero twice in a row, but he caught everyone’s attention by making a brilliant comeback in the very first match.

Along with Seifert, Shayan Jahangir also batted well at the other end. He scored 78 runs on 47 balls. In his innings he hit 3 fours and 7 sixes. There was a big partnership of 191 runs for the first wicket between the two batsmen, which decided the direction of the match.
Thanks to the brilliant batting of these two, Seattle Orcas scored a huge score of 220 runs after losing 2 wickets in 20 overs. Texas bowlers failed to create pressure throughout the match and the batsmen took full advantage of it.
The batsman, who was once struggling with two consecutive ducks, came into the limelight after scoring a century after a few days. This is the beauty of cricket, where one innings can completely change the story of a player. Seifert proved in the very first match of MLC 2026 that form is temporary, but class lasts forever.
