SO vs WF Team Previews

Seattle Orcas

The Seattle Orcas had a terrible last season. They are going into this contest after five losses in a row. They are playing the first game of the new season and will be hoping for better fortunes in this encounter.
After Washington's drubbing in the first game, the Seattle Orcas will fancy their chances against Freedom. The Orcas will be led by South African veteran Heinrich Klaasen. The wicketkeeper-batter is a formidable batter yet and can change the course of a contest single-handedly.

The wicket-keeper batter Heinrich Klaasen has been the leading run-scorer for Seattle with 97 runs from his last seven games, with a strike rate of 116.86. The all-rounder Harmeet Singh is second in the list with 44 runs from his previous six games, with a strike rate of 93.61.

Washington Freedom

Washington Freedom's campaign in the MLC 2025 has started disastrously. Finn Allen from San Francisco Unicorns hammered them. He single-handedly destroyed the Washington bowling attack with an innings that included 19 sixes.

This 123-run defeat must have dented Washington's confidence, as they have fallen to a terrible net run rate of -6.150. The Unicorns outplayed the defending champions in this first game of the competition, and this margin of defeat would have sent early warning bells to the Washington camp.

The Australian batter Steven Smith will lead the Washington batting effort in this contest. He has scored 336 runs from his nine contests with an average of 56 and a strike rate of 148.67. The skipper, Glenn Maxwell, has scored 158 runs from his last nine encounters with an average of 31.6 and a strike rate of 162.88.

The USA international Saurabh Netravalkar leads the Washington bowling charge in this contest with 16 victims from his last eight games, with a strike rate of 11.37. Rachin Ravindra has picked up 12 wickets from his previous seven contests with a strike rate of 8.58.

Washington Freedom Expected Playing 11

Mitchell Owen, Rachin Ravindra, Jack Edwards, Glenn Maxwell (c), Glenn Phillips, Andries Gous (wk), Obus Pienaar, Mukhtar Ahmed, Ian Holland, Ben Sears, Saurabh Netravalkar.

SO vs WF Toss Prediction

So far, just a single domestic T20 game has been played at the venue. The team batting first won it handsomely by a huge margin. So, it might be a better idea to bat first and take the game away from the opposition right up front.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The surface at the Oakland Coliseum in California will have something in it for everyone. When the ball is new, seamers will get some assistance from the pitch. As the contest progresses, the spinners will come into play to exploit the worn-out track and footmarks. Batters will need to settle down before opening up. We are expecting cloud cover during this contest with sunny intervals.

SO vs WF: Who Will Win?

After the terrible hammering the Washington Freedom received in the first game of the series, Seattle would be keen to take advantage in this game. However, they lost their last five encounters in the MLC last season. Overall, we reckon the defending champions will pull up their socks and beat Seattle Orcas to get on the board.

Bet on Washington Freedom to win this match.

SO vs WF win percentage stands at 56% in favor of WF.
