19 - Sixes Finn Allen smashed during his 151-run knock for San Francisco Unicorns against Washington Freedom in the opening game of MLC 2025. He broke the record for most sixes hit in a T20 match, bettering the joint-record previously held by Chris Gayle (vs Dhaka Dynamites in 2017) and Sahil Chauhan (vs Cyprus in 2024), who hit 18 sixes each.

49 - Balls Allen took to complete his 150 in Oakland. It is now the fastest 150 in T20s, bettering the record held by Dewald Brevis, who got to his 150 off 52 balls when he scored 162 against Knights in 2022 in South Africa's domestic T20s.

134 - Runs Allen scored off boundaries, including the 114 coming through the 19 sixes he hit. Only three men have scored more runs through boundaries in a T20 innings than Allen.

28 - Total sixes by Unicorns in their innings, the second-most by any team in a T20 match, behind the 37 by Baroda against Sikkim last December in India's domestic T20s. The Unicorns batters hit at least one six in 16 of the 20 overs in their innings.

151 - Allen's score against Freedom is now the highest individual score in MLC. The previous highest was 137* by Nicholas Pooran against Seattle Orcas in the 2023 final before the league acquired T20 status.

34 - Balls Allen needed to bring up his hundred, the second-fastest in a T20 franchise league, behind Gayle's 30-ball effort against Pune Warriors in IPL 2013. The previous fastest hundred in MLC came off 40 balls by Pooran in the 2023 final (before the T20 status).

269 for 5 - Unicorns' total against Freedom is by far the highest in MLC. They also became the first team to breach the 250-run mark in a T20 match in the USA, as the previous highest was 245 for 6 by West Indies against India in 2016 in Lauderhill.
