Seattle Orcas vs Washington Freedom Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
Quinton de Kock did not have a great start to the tournament as in the opening game against MI New York he failed to show up. Expectations were high as De Kock had a brilliant World Cup prior to this tournament. In the last game against LA Knight Riders, De Kock scored a brilliant half century which makes us believe he would score well in the upcoming game.
We believe Travis Head would play a pivotal role for Washington Freedom if they aspire to make the playoffs once again. Head struggled against MI New York but we believe that was a one off game as he was in great form prior to this tournament and was unlucky that the last game was called off as he scored 32* in 12 balls and looked great. We believe Head would score well in the upcoming game.
