SFU vs MINY Team Previews

San Francisco Unicorns

The San Francisco Unicorns enjoyed a perfect start to their campaign as they won each of their first 6 matches and were the first team to qualify for the playoffs. However, they lost 3 of their last 4 matches and dropped to third place on the points table. As a result, they now face a must-win situation to remain alive in the competition.

Finn Allen had a brilliant start to the tournament, scoring two half-centuries and a century in his first four outings. However, his form has seen a dip over the last couple of weeks, coinciding with the team’s poor run. As a result, there will be a lot of pressure on his opening partner, Matthew Short, to play well. He has scored 5 half-centuries in his 7 innings and will hope to give the team a strong start.

The middle order has some quality batsmen in the form of Jake Fraser-McGurk, Sanjay Krishnamurthy, and Hassan Khan, adding heft to the batting line-up. Coming to the bowling, Haris Rauf and Xavier Bartlett are the leading wicket-takers for the tournament, picking up 17 wickets each.

However, Rauf missed the previous match due to an injury, and his availability for this match isn’t yet confirmed. The team could bring in Cooper Connolly to fill in for him. The spin department will be helmed by Hassan Khan.

San Francisco Unicorns Expected Playing 11

Matthew Short (C), Finn Allen (WK), Jake Fraser-McGurk, Hassan Khan, Sanjay Krishnamurthy, Hammad Azam, Xavier Bartlett, Karim Gore, Brody Couch, Ben Lister, Cooper Connolly

MI New York

MI New York hasn’t been in the best of form this season and has managed to win only 3 of its 10 matches. However, with the other two teams faring even worse, they qualified for the playoffs.

MI New York made wholesale changes to its playing XI in the previous match, dropping as many as 7 players. However, that did not seem to have an impact on the team’s fortunes as they lost the match. They are likely to bring back some of the key players including Quinton de Kock, Kieron Pollard, Michael Bracewell, and Trent Boult for this match.

A lot will depend on the performance of Nicholas Pooran. He is among the best batsmen in the T20 format but is yet to find his peak. The bowlers have been rather inconsistent as well. While Trent Boult has picked up 11 wickets, he hasn’t received much support at the other end. The spin attack is almost non-existent as well.

MI New York Expected Playing 11

Quinton de Kock (WK) Monank Patel, Nicholas Pooran (C), Kieron Pollard, Michael Bracewell, Rushil Ugarkar, Ehsan Adil, Trent Boult, Sunny Patel, Noshtush Kenjige, Tajinder Dhillon

SFU vs MINY Toss Prediction

The last 10 matches were evenly split between teams batting first and teams chasing. In 8 of those games, the captain winning the toss opted to field first and we expect the same for this match as well.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The pitch is expected to be good to bat on. The flat and hard surface offers excellent pace and bounce, and the batsmen can play their shots with confidence. The team batting first will look to score between 200 and 220 runs to give the bowlers something to work with.

The weather is likely to remain warm and cloudy with some drizzle during the day.
