Seattle Orcas:
After three wins on the trot, the Orcas went down by eight wickets as the Freedom demolished them with 64 balls to spare. Bowled out for just 82 in their last game, the Orcas need to rally with the battle between Seattle and New York getting tighter.
Texas Super Kings:
The Super Kings were handed their third loss of the season by the Unicorns, who managed to beat them by just one run. A very close loss, the Super Kings will take confidence from the fact that they were oh so close to beating the Unicorns.
Seattle Orcas:
Shimron Hetmyer – he has scored 314 runs in seven games, with three fifties and is averaging 78.5 this season. The most impressive aspect of his game has been his urgency, reflected in a strike rate of 215.
Shayan Jahangir – with 202 runs, Jahangir has been a constant contributor for the Orcas, averaging 28.85 and striking at 146 and has been crucial to getting them off to fast starts.
Waqar Salamkheil – the wrist spinner from Afghanistan has been important for the Orcas, having taken six wickets in his 15.3 overs, striking once every 15.5 balls!
Texas Super Kings:
Donovan Ferreira – Ferreira is averaging 42.6 this season and has struck at a hardly believable 229. Having launched 18 sixes in just 93 balls, he has been crucial in the pursuit of quick runs.
Shubham Ranjane – in his best ever MLC season, Ranjane has scored 202 runs in six innings, while averaging 67.33 and has been quick, while striking at 164.22.
Akeal Hosein – with incredible numbers so far this season, Hosein has seven wickets in 13 overs at an average of just 8.71 and has an economy of 4.69, which is simply stupendous.
Seattle Orcas – 0 wins
Texas Super Kings – 2 wins
