Seattle Orcas vs Texas Super Kings Prediction & Betting Tips 2023

Faf du Plessis has had a campaign to forget thus far. One of the key reasons why Texas Super Kings have struggled to get a good opening partnership so far is the fact Du Plessis has not clicked thus far. So far Du Plessis has scored 0, 14, 8, 13 and 0 averaging below 10 this season. We reckon the South African’s struggles to continue as we head into playoff and to score low in the upcoming game against Seattle Orcas.

Predicted Playing XI

Texas Super Kings Team Form

With three wins in five games Texas Super Kings ended up second on the table level on points with Washington Freedom. Even though the knockout stage does not start before July 28, for Texas Super Kings they headed into the final game which turned out to be a knockout game against San Francisco Unicorns. Texas Super Kings won the game with three wickets to spare and sealed their place in the playoffs.

Seattle Orcas vs Texas Super Kings Betting Odds

Seattle Orcas to have a better opening partnership than Texas Super Kings

After initial struggles in the first two games, Seattle Orcas have had consistent opening partnerships in the last three games. Seattle averages 30.6 runs as an opening stand throughout the tournament and have conceded just an average of 13 runs in those games. What makes this tip even more enticing is the fact in four of the five games, Seattle Orcas have managed better opening partnerships than their opponents. Texas Super Kings top order batsmen have struggled throughout the season as they average 8.8 runs opening stand in the tournament which is even worse than what Seattle has conceded. We believe this tip is the closest to a sure thing as we can have in regards to the possibility of a pay out and we reckon, you should encash on this opportunity.

Seattle Orcas vs Texas Super Kings Top Team Batters

Heinrich Klaasen to be Seattle Orcas’s top batter

Heinrich Klaasen scored the first century of the tournament as the Seattle Orcas beat MI New York in the final group game. With the century, Klaasen has now scored 231 runs in the tournament as has become the leading run scorer of the tournament and our top pick for the game.

Devon Conway to be Texas Super Kings’s top batter

We would go with Devon Conway once again as he played an important knock of 30 off 27 balls after Texas Super Kings lost two early wickets in the chase. Conwar remains the leading run scorer for Texas Super Kings and would be our top pick for the game.

Seattle Orcas vs Texas Super Kings Top Team Bowlers

Cameron Gannon to be Seattle Orcas’s top bowler

Cameron Gannon has had a phenomenal campaign so far and is the leading wicket taker for the Seattle Orcas. Even though Gannon had an underwhelming game against MI New York, we believe Gannon would come good in the post season and would be the leading wicket taker in the playoffs for his team which makes him our top pick for the game.

Gerald Coetzee to be Texas Super Kings’s top bowler

The South African stood up when it mattered the most and ended up with 4/31 in the must win game against San Francisco Unicorns. Gerald Coetzee’s match winning performance took his wicket tally to eight in just three games, level with Mohammad Mohsin as the leading wicket taker for Seattle Orcas which makes him our top pick for the game.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Seattle Orcas

With three wins in first three games, Seattle Orcas have been the best team in the tournament from day one and were the first team to qualify for the playoffs. But they surrendered their winning momentum against the LA Knight Riders who registered their maiden victory against Seattle Orcas which turned out to be the shock of the tournament. In the last game, the Seattle batsmen put on a show as they returned to winning ways, they successfully chased down 194 set by MI New York and won the game by two wickets.

Texas Super Kings run of form in the group stages has been WLWLW which showcases their inconsistencies throughout the campaign. The Texas outfit headed into the final group game against San Francisco which was a winner takes all contest as both teams were tied on four points and needed a win to guarantee a playoff spot. Texas Super Kings managed to chase down 171 runs and won the game with three wickets to spare

Both teams went head to head in the group stage, Seattle Orcas outclassed Texas Super kings with their lethal bowling attack which came together on the day as they bowled out Texas to mere 127 and eventually won the game by eight wickets. This game would be fresh on the mind of bookmakers as they have considered Seattle Orcas as strong favourites heading into this fixture. We believe this would be a great game for the neutrals as on paper both teams are pretty even but looking at the form guide, we reckon Seattle Orcas would prevail at the end.

• Seattle Orcas to win @ 1.80 (PariMatch)
• Texas Super Kings to win @ 2.02 (PariMatch)
