Seattle Orcas vs Texas Super Kings Predictions


The Orcas are doomed to finish bottom, regardless of their result in this match. The Super Kings are guaranteed third place but can’t finish higher. The Orcas form has been patchy while the Super Kings have had two good recent wins and should be strong enough to take this win. 

  • Texas Super Kings’ Faf du Plessis has scored 100, 34, 61 & 55 in his last 4 innings.
  • Texas Super Kings’ Devon Conway has scored 53, 39, 32* & 40 in his last 4 innings.
  • Seattle Orcas’ Ryan Rickelton has scored 103*, 29 & 89 in his last 5 innings.
  • Seattle Orcas’ Quinton de Kock smashed 62 runs off 33 balls against the Unicorns.

Head-to-Head


The Orcas beat the Super Kings in their League meeting last season, as well as in the Qualifier playoff match.

Seattle Orcas Form


The Orcas went four losses on the bounce when they lost to the Unicorns by six wickets.

Quinton de Kock (62 off 33 balls) was the spine of the Orcas total of 152/7, which was a good recovery after losing both openers for ducks in the first innings. 

The Unicorns raced to the win off 14.2 overs, Harmeet Singh (2/39) returning the best figures with the ball for the Orcas.

Seattle Orcas Team News


The Orcas have nothing to lose but plenty of pride to play for in this match. With their powerful batting line-up they could give the Super Kings a tough challenge, but not enough of their batters have performed consistently yet this season.

Texas Super Kings Form


After winning two of their completed matches on the bounce, the Super Kings lost to the table-toppers Washington Freedom by 42 runs. 

The Freedom posted a huge score of 206/5 off their 20 overs, Noor Ahmad returning figures of 3/38.

Faf du Plessis pounded five sixes and five fours in his innings of 55 off 32 balls, but aside from Calvin Savage (35 off 23 balls), none of his teammates reached the 20s. The Super Kings were bowled out for 164 with one ball of their innings remaining.

Texas Super Kings Team News


Texas Super Kings are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

Verdict

I am backing Texas Super Kings to win. I am also backing Faf du Plessis to top score for Texas Super Kings.

Ryan Rickelton is a good bet to top score for the Seattle Orcas.
