SFU vs SOR Team Previews
San Francisco Unicorns
The San Francisco Unicorns will be delighted with their performance against the heavyweights Mumbai Indians New York in their opening fixture. The Unicorns came out on top at the end of a high-scoring encounter.
Finn Allen and Matthew Wade are likely to open the batting for the Unicorns. They weren’t in the best of forms during the series opener, but given their talent, we expect them to bounce back soon. One of the biggest strengths for the Unicorns is its middle order, which consists of big hitters like Aaron Finch, Marcus Stoinis, and Corey Anderson.
All-rounders Shadab Khan and Tajinder Singh add depth to the batting. Anderson was in an especially belligerent mood in the last game, where he smashed 91 runs off just 52 deliveries, and played a vital role in taking his team to a match-winning total.
Coming to the bowling, the Unicorns have a potent seam attack at their disposal, including bowlers like Liam Plunkett, Haris Rauf, and Carmi Le Roux. While they were a bit expensive in the last match, their ability to pick up wickets makes them quite dangerous.
The spin attack will feature all-rounders Chaitanya Bishnoi and Shadab Khan.

Seattle Orcas
Just like the Unicorns, the Orcas too made a winning start to their campaign and will be hoping to continue with the winning run.
Imad Wasim put in an all-round performance to help the Orcas put up a good performance. He bowled a brilliant spell with the ball, giving away just 19 runs in 4 overs and also picking up the important wicket of Mathew Short. He was well supported by Harmeet Singh, who picked up 2 wickets.
The pace attack is quite strong too, thanks to the presence of skipper Wayne Parnell, Andrew Tye, and Cameron Gannon. Coming to the batting, Pakistan batsman Nauman Anwar is striking the ball well and will open the innings with Quinton de Kock, while Shehan Jayasuriya, Heinrich Klaasen, and Shimron Hetmeyer can be destructive in the middle order. Imad Wasim can once again play a pivotal role here.
The Orcas have a well-balanced squad and are capable of putting up a good fight.
