MI New York vs Seattle Orcas Betting Odds

MI New York to score more runs in powerplay than Seattle Orcas

Even though Seattle Orcas have had a great tournament thus far, if you deep dive into their season it's pretty evident that they have been inconsistent in the first six overs throughout the campaign. In three of the four games, Seattle Orcas have managed to concede more runs than they have managed to score in powerplay. Seattle averaged 42.75 in the first six overs but conceded 45 runs in those games. In the last game, MI New York smashed Washington Freedom especially in the powerplay where they scored 65 runs and conceded just 46. The change of venue has worked well for MI New York batsmen as they failed to score above 50 runs in each of the first three games.

MI New York vs Seattle Orcas Top Team Batters

Nicholas Pooran to be MI New York’s top batter

Nicholas Pooran played a match winning knock of 62 off 33 and was sensational as MI New York kept their playoff hopes alive. With 159 runs thus far, Pooran is the top run scorer for MI New York in the tournament and without doubt our top pick for the game.

Nauman Anwar to be Seattle Orcas’s top batter

Nauman Anwar continued his impressive start to the season with 32 off 20 balls in the loss against LA Knight Riders. In the four games so far, Anwar has scored 48, 30, 19 and 32 and has shown some consistency at the top order which would be vital in the upcoming game. Anwar is the top scorer for Seattle Orcas and our top pick for the game.

MI New York vs Seattle Orcas Top Team Bowlers

Trent Boult to be MI New York’s top bowler

Even though Trent Boult had an under par game against Washington Freedom, he has been the most consistent bowler for MI New York thus far and with seven wickets in four games is the top wicket taker for his side in the tournament which also makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Cameron Gannon to be Seattle Orcas’s top bowler

Cameron Gannon is the top wicket taker for Seattle Orcas but what's even more impressive is the economy of 6.32 which he has maintained throughout the campaign. Gannon was impressive in the last game as he ended up with 3/13 and is our top pick for the upcoming fixture.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: MI New York

MI New York had an underwhelming start to the campaign as they suffered two defeats in first three games and were fifth on the table. In the last game, New York bowlers were impressive in the death overs as they restricted Washington Freedom to 160. In response, MI New York chased down the target in 15.3 overs thanks to Nicolas Pooran’s blazing 62 off 33 balls. A win against Washington Freedom took New York to third place on the table.

Seattle Orcas have had a solid campaign thus far as they sealed a playoff spot after the third game with maximum points on board. They surrendered their winning momentum to the LA Knight Riders who registered their first win in the final game of the season. Seattle Orcas failed to defend 170 runs as LA outfit completed a successful chase in the final over and won the tie by two wickets.

On paper, MI New York has so much fire power but failed to perform in the first three games of the season. A week gap between the third and fourth fixture had done wonders for the New York outfit as it feels like they have all the momentum heading into this penultimate fixture. Bookmakers have sided with MI New York and have tagged them as favourites in the game. Regardless of how well Seattle has played thus far we believe you should side with the bookies on this one as the feel good factor after the last fixture would take them over the line and would seal a top two finish this term.

• MI New York to win @ 1.80 (PariMatch)
• Seattle Orcas to win @ 2.02 (PariMatch)
