South African wicket-keeper batter Heinrich Klaasen scored the first century of the inaugural Major League Cricket (MLC) season as Seattle Orcas defeated MI New York by two wickets in a high-scoring match on Wednesday.

Klaasen played a magnificent unbeaten knock of 110 runs off 44 balls to guide the Orcas to victory. After Orcas opted to bowl, MI New York struggled to put runs on the board, before skipper Kieron Pollard and Nicholas Pooran joined hands.

Pooran (68) and Pollard (34)'s partnership gave MI Ney York some much-needed momentum. During their partnership, Pollard smashed a 110-metre-long six, the biggest of the MLC, on the second ball of the 12th over, which was bowled by Cameron Gannon.
