The Oakland Coliseum will once again host<\/a> Major League Cricket matches this summer, but with higher stakes.<\/p>\n

The Coliseum<\/a> will be the venue for the league\u2019s playoff matches on July 15 and championship match on July 18.<\/p>\n

It will also host regular-season matches in June.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re absolutely thrilled to be bringing world-class cricket back to the Bay,\u201d David White, CEO of the league\u2019s Bay Area team, the San Francisco Unicorns, said in a news release Friday. \u201cHosting the postseason and the Championship game in Oakland is a huge moment for our fans, and for the continued growth of cricket in the Bay Area.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re ready to battle for our first Championship on home soil under new head coach, Cameron White, with a roster packed full of elite cricketing talent.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nine Major League Cricket matches were played<\/a> at the Coliseum last June.<\/p>\n

The Unicorns will play three regular-season matches at the former home of the A\u2019s and Raiders this summer, June 24 against the Texas Super Kings, June 26 against the Seattle Orcas and June 28 against the Washington Freedom.<\/p>\n

The Bay Area team will open its season in Grand Prairie, Texas, on June 19 against the Los Angeles Knight Riders and June 20 against Texas.<\/p>\n

The Unicorns will return to Texas later in the summer for matches against MI New York on July 8, Los Angeles on July 10 and Seattle on July 11.<\/p>\n

A new venue in Pomona will host Unicorns\u2019 matches against Washington on July 4 and New York on July 5.<\/p>\n

Major League Cricket is entering its fourth season.<\/p>\n
