SFU vs WAF Team Previews
San Francisco Unicorns
San Francisco Unicorns have only suffered one loss this season. They currently sit on nine points after six games. Their points have come from four wins and a rained-out game.
Matthew Short will bring immense power to the Unicorns' batting lineup. He is also in red-hot form with 170 runs in his five-game MLC 2024 season.
Finn Allen will make sure the Unicorns take full advantage of the powerplay fielding restrictions. He is striking at over 200 in the 2024 MLC while scoring heavily too. He has 186 runs.
Hassan Khan from the USA has been a magnificent find for the Unicorns. The left-arm orthodox bowler captured his career-best T20 figures of three for five in his previous game against Seattle Orcas.

Finn Allen, Jake Fraser McGurk, Sanjay Krishnamurthi, Josh Inglis, Sherfane Rutherford, Corey Anderson, Hassan Khan, Tajinder Singh, Haris Rauf, Matt Henry, Juanoy Drysdale.
Washington Freedom
The Washington Freedom have been the standout team of the tournament. They are number one on the table after an unbeaten run. They have 11 points from five wins and a washout.
Glenn Maxwell brings his own unique x-factor to any T20 game. The Australian all-rounder is usually spoken about for his innovative batting in the shorter formats.
Travis Head comes in the mould of an aggressive T20 opening batter. He is the perfect opening partner to accompany the likes of Steve Smith, who will be slightly more conservative in approach. He has been picked in T20 leagues worldwide for good reason.
Saurabh Netravalkar has been one of Steve Smith's 'go to' men for crucial wickets. The left-arm seamer has an impressive T20 career with 45 wickets in 37 games.
