SOR vs SFU Betting Tips
Matthew Short to score Over 25.5 runs
Matthew Short is in excellent form this year and has scored a half-century in both his outings so far. He has also scored a half-century against Seattle in a previous encounter and we expect him to play a big knock here.
Highest opening partnership San Francisco Unicorns
The opening pair of San Francisco Unicorns has been pretty consistent throughout this season. They have scored at least 19 runs in 4 of their 5 games so far. On the other hand, the Orcas’ opening pair has managed to reach the double digits only once in the last 3 outings. We are therefore backing the Unicorns to put up a bigger opening stand.

SO vs SFU Team Previews
Seattle Orcas
The Seattle Orcas are struggling at the moment. With 4 losses in as many matches, the team is currently placed at the bottom of the points table. They also have the worst NRR among all teams.
The batting has been a big disappointment for the Orcas this year. Despite having some quality batsmen like David Warner, Kyle Mayers, Heinrich Klaasen, and Kyle Mayers, they haven’t been able to put up big scores. Shayan Jahangir has got a couple of decent starts at the top of the order but hasn’t been able to convert them into big knocks.
Similarly, the likes of Sikandar Raza and Aaron Jones have also failed to bat consistently. The bowling has been equally lackluster. Harmeet Singh is the leading wicket-taker for the team but has only 4 wickets against his name. He will be joined in the spin department by Waqar Salamkheil and Sikandar Raza who have 3 wickets each.
The quicker bowlers have struggled as well, with Obed McCoy, who is the team’s frontline seamers, picking up only 2 wickets in 3 matches.
Seattle Orcas Expected Playing 11
Shayan Jahangir (WK), David Warner, Aaron Jones, Kyle Mayers, Heinrich Klaasen (C), Shimron Hetmeyer, Sikandar Raza, Gerald Coetzee, Harmeet Singh, Jasdeep Singh, Cameron Gannon

San Francisco Unicorns
San Francisco has been clinical in its performance this year. They have won all the 5 matches played so far and are sitting comfortably at the top of the table. The team’s latest win came on Monday where despite missing two of their key players, Finn Allen and Carmi le Roux, they managed to win quite comfortably.
Matthew Short and Finn Allen have been brilliant at the top of the order. Short has scored half-centuries in both matches, while Allen is the leading run-scorer of the season. They are both known for their explosive batting and will hope to give the Unicorns a brisk start.
Jake Fraser-McGurk has been in excellent form as well and has two half-centuries including one in the previous match. The team also has a strong middle order made up of Sanjay Krishnamurthy and Tim Seifert, while the all-rounders Romario Shepherd and Hassan Khan add depth to the batting.
Haris Rauf will lead the pace department here. He is the leading wicket-taker of the season with 12 wickets. He will be joined by Xavier Bartlett and Carmi le Roux. Hassan Khan will lead the spin attack.
San Francisco Unicorns Expected Playing 11
Matthew Short (C), Jake Fraser-McGurk, Tim Seifert (WK), Sanjay Krishnamurthy, Hassan Khan, Romario Shepherd, Haris Rauf, Karima Gore, Xavier Bartlett, Liam Plunkett, Brody Couch
SO vs SFU Toss Prediction
6 of the last 10 matches played here were won while chasing. In all those games, the captain winning the toss opted to field first and we expect that trend to continue.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
The pitch here has been excellent to bat on. The surface is flat and a bit on the dry side. There is very little movement for the bowlers, especially once the ball gets a bit old. The team batting first will look to score at least 200 runs to give the bowlers some cushion.
The weather will remain warm with temperatures around 30 degrees.
