THE LOWDOWN

MI NEW YORK

MI New York know that victory here against Seattle Orcas guarantees them a place in the play-offs and they come into this final group game with momentum in their favour. A comfortable victory last time out against Washington Freedom has put them in this very strong position and only a heavy defeat and net-run-rate swing here would see Kieron Pollard’s side miss out due to Texas Super Kings taking on San Francisco Unicorns the night before this encounter. The West Indians among the MI New York team starred vs the Freedom, Pollard picking up two wickets before Nicholas Pooran smashed an unbeaten 62 to help see them home.

SEATTLE ORCAS

Seattle Orcas have already booked their place in the play-offs, but they’ll want to enter the next round on the back of a win, especially after coming up short in their most recent game. What was even worse is that that loss, their first of the tournament came against rock bottom Los Angeles Knight Riders, who are already eliminated from the tournament. The bowling let them down in that one, failing to defend a score of 170/6, which was chased down by LA with five balls to spare. It goes without saying that significant improvement will be needed here.

THE PREDICTION

The dominating nature of MI New York’s win over Washington Freedom should stand them in good stead for this one with two points taking them above Seattle Orcas and most likely guaranteeing them a top two finish in the league table. The Orcas struggled with the ball last time out and when taking into account the brutal nature of MI New York’s batting on Sunday, it’s hard not to see the same bowlers garnering similar treatment here, ultimately leading to an MI New York victory.

BETTING TIP: MI NEW YORK TO WIN
