San Francisco Unicorns to take on Seattle Orcas next in MLC 2024 (X.com)

To mark the dawn of a new week in the MLC 2024 edition, Settle Orcas will be pitted against San Francisco Unicorns in the 13th fixture of the high-voltage tournament. The exciting matchup will be played at Church Street Park stadium on July 16, 1.00 AM IST.

SEA vs SFU: Team Previews

Seattle Orcas

Seattle Orcas desperately needs to bounce back after slipping to the bottom of the points table following a five-wicket loss against Washington Freedom. 

Despite Quinton de Kock and Heinrich Klaasen’s notable contributions, Orcas were bundled inside 124 runs batting first. And the Freedom’s batting lineup, consisting of some fearful names, chased down the target in the penultimate over.

That marked Seattle’s second loss in 3 games, and due to a shambolic net run rate, the Orcas found themselves at the bottom of the table.

Having said that, the Orcas have a pretty decent lineup at their helm, with QDK, Klassen leading the batting lineup, and Imad Wasim and Nandre Burger handling the bowling duties. They need to execute the plans more precisely henceforth to achieve success.

San Francisco Unicorns

The San Francisco Unicorns suffered an uncharacteristic loss against Texas Super Kings in the previous game. Explosive opening pair of Finn Allen and Jake Fraser McGurk recorded a rare failure which resulted in a batting order collapse.

Meanwhile, the Texas Super Kings ended up chasing the 128-run target from 13 overs courtesy of Faf du Plessis and Devon Conway’s blazing start to hand a humiliating defeat to the Unicorns.

Regardless, San Francisco Unicorns are still very much alive in the competition and a couple of wins will boost their NRR as well. The upcoming game against Orcas is a perfect opportunity for the Unicorns to rediscover their winning momentum and advance further in the points table.

SEA vs SFU: Church Street Park Pitch Report

The Church Street Park’s wicket hasn’t been much of a batter-friendly surface this MLC 2024 tournament. It is slow and tends to assist spinners throughout the game. There could be a bit of swing and seam movement early into the game. Regardless, anything around 150-160 should be a par score on this surface, with batting second being an ideal choice.
