On Monday, Seattle Orcas and MI New York will lock horns with each other in the much-awaited final of the inaugural Major League Cricket. The high-voltage face-off is scheduled at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas. 


Team Preview: Seattle Orcas

Seattle Orcas had a dream run in the group-stage of the tournament, finishing at the top of the points table with four victories in five outings. Their exceptional performance in the league stage earned them a place in the Qualifier 1, where they swatted aside Texas Super Kings by nine wickets to book their berth in the final. 

Swashbuckling South African batter Heinrich Klaasen has been a prolific performer for the Orcas, amassing 231 runs, including a hundred, at an average of 77 and an astonishing strike rate of 206.25. Talking about their bowling department, Cameron Gannon and Andrew Tye have bamboozled the opponents with their skills, scalping eleven wickets each in the tournament.

On the other hand, MI New York had a roller-coaster ride in the group-stage, making into the playoffs on the basis of their superior net run rate than the fifth-placed San Francisco Unicorns. However, they peaked at the right time and won two consecutive knockout fixtures, defeating Washington Freedom and Texas Super Kings and making a grand entry to the final. 

Nicholas Pooran and Trent Boult have been exceptional for MI with bat and ball, respectively, while Tim David has provided them with much-needed impetus towards the backend of the innings. So, considering their recent form, MI New York could pose serious threat to the Orcas in the final.

The surface at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Texas will offer slight assistance to the new-ball bowlers, especially in the latter half of the game. Also, as the teams batting first have won eight out of eleven matches played here, the toss-winner could opt to bat in the high-pressure final.
