Team Previews
Seattle Orcas Preview
Seattle Orcas are spiraling, having lost all five matches played so far. Their inability to defend or chase competitive totals is their biggest weakness. The top order, comprising Shayan Jahangir, David Warner, and Kyle Mayers, lacks consistency. Heinrich Klaasen and Shimron Hetmyer bring international firepower, but their contributions have been minimal lately.
Bowling is led by Gerald Coetzee, Obed McCoy, and Harmeet Singh, with limited support. Waqar Salamkheil and Fazalhaq Farooqi could be surprise packages, but the Orcas need a collective batting improvement and better execution with the ball to avoid a sixth straight defeat.
MI New York Preview
MI New York have been slightly better, winning one game so far, ironically against the Orcas. Their batting core is strong — Monank Patel and Quinton de Kock are in top form. Bracewell, Pollard, and Nicholas Pooran strengthen the middle order.
Despite having Trent Boult and Naveen-ul-Haq, MI New York’s bowling has been expensive. Still, Michael Bracewell’s spin and Sunny Patel’s utility offer depth. MI New York’s strength lies in their batting depth and power-hitting capabilities, which make them dangerous on high-scoring tracks like Dallas.
