San Francisco Unicorns vs Seattle Orcas Prediction & Betting Tips
Expectations were high for Aaron Jones to perform after the World Cup but he has struggled to make an impact this term. In three games thus far, Jones has scored 27 runs with an average of nine runs which is pretty low. We expect Jones' struggles to continue and for him to score low in the upcoming game.
Even though San Francisco Unicorns did not score well in the powerplay in the last game they have been pretty dominant in the first six overs thus far. In previous games they have scored 67, 74 and 55 in the powerplay which makes us believe they would score well in the first six overs in the upcoming game.
