Seattle Orcas vs Washington Freedom prediction
Despite losing just two wickets and putting 220 on the board in their opening game, it wasn’t enough for Seattle Orcas as their target was chased down with nine balls to spare by Texas Super Kings, thanks largely to Faf du Plessis’ unbeaten century which made him the first player to pass 1000 runs in the history of MLC.
But whilst the bowling struggled on a batter-friendly pitch, Seattle showed enough themselves that they shouldn’t panic. A similar batting performance especially gives them a great chance vs Washington Freedom, who are very reliant on their Australian core of Steve Smith and Glenn Maxwell. Washington’s bowling attack may take time to adapt to conditions in Texas and this makes backing the Orcas a shrewd play.
