THE LOWDOWN
SAN FRANCISCO UNICORNS
San Francisco Unicorns really did click from a batting perspective in their last game against Los Angeles Knight Riders, racking up 212/7 from 20 overs, Australian Matthew Wade top scoring with 78 from 41 balls. In a high-scoring encounter, they managed to restrict LAKR to 191/5 in response, Shadab Khan picking up two wickets and ensuring a 21-run victory. With the top four teams going through to the play-offs, the Unicorns are in a good spot heading into their final four games.
WASHINGTON FREEDOM
Washington Freedom, like San Francisco Unicorns boasts hard-hitting Australian batters, in their case Matthew Short and captain Moises Henriques, so Freedom fans will be hoping that they can perhaps provide a match-winning innings here. Short in particular has considerable power at the top of the order, whilst Akeal Hosein poses a threat both with bat and ball. Anrich Nortje has been searching for his best form with the ball, whilst Marco Jansen’s height and left-arm bowling has posed a significant powerplay threat.
THE PREDICTION
When breaking down both of these two teams, San Francisco Unicorns look by far the most destructive on paper with big hitting batters coming in not only at the top of the order, but right down to number six. This allows them to go hard from ball one and that score of 212 vs the Knight Riders is testament to that. It’s hard to see Washington Freedom being able to keep them under wraps with the ball and they don’t look to have the batting line-up capable of matching them in terms of strike-rate. Back a San Francisco Unicorns win in this one.
