Pre-Match Analysis:
Seattle Orcas have experienced fixed feelings at the start of the tournament with 2 losses and a win. They got off to a losing start at the hands of MI New York and bounced back impressively with 9 wicket win over Los Angeles Knight Riders where debutant Ryan Rickelton scripted a famous century to guide the side to a victory in the last over.
Orcas looked dull yet again in their third fixture, enduring 5 wickets defeat against Washington Freedom. Barring Heinrich Klaasen’s blazing 30-ball 51 the rest of the batters flopped resulting in the side tumbling for paltry 124. The bowlers produced a decent show to push the game till the 19th over however not enough to win the game. Currently, they reside at the bottom of the standings with 2 points and will move to 3rd position if they do win their game against Unicorns.
San Francisco Unicorns haven’t established fully yet in the tournament, managing one win from 3 matches. They made a stellar start with a 6-wicket win over Los Angeles Knight Riders but that didn’t last long as they suffered straight forward 7-wicket loss to Texas Super Kings a couple of days later.
Their 3rd outing against Knight Riders was abandoned without a toss due to persistent rain. Right now, Unicorns share the same 3 points with Orcas but occupy a much higher position and sit 4th in the standings. They will be thrilled by the arrival of Australia ODI and Test captain Pat Cummins who will bolster their pace attack.
