Major T20 League 2023

Match 15: MINY vs SEO

Preview 

The last league match of the Major T20 League 2023 will be played between MI New York (MINY) and Seattle Orcas (SEO) at the Church Street Park stadium on Wednesday, July 26. The 15th match of the inaugural Major T20 League season will be a do or die encounter for MINY, who are precariously placed at fourth in the league standings.

Their superior Net Run Rate has just given them the edge over San Francisco, who are placed just a rung later at fifth. They presently have two wins in four games, one of which was an eight wicket win against Washington in their last tie. They cannot afford any slip ups at this instance and would be desperately counting on their big names to come to the party in the final league game. 

SEO are sitting comfortably at the top of the table with a NRR of 0.806. They have befittingly made it to the playoffs and are looking all set to clinch yet another win. The Seattle based franchise has won three out of their four fixtures so far, with their only loss coming against Los Angeles Knight Riders in the last game. A win against MINY on Wednesday will be a bold statement ahead of the Qualifiers.

Pitch Report

It has been observed in the last few games that the pitch is favourable for bowlers. Quick bowlers in particular have enjoyed assistance from the grass on the wicket. Batters on the other hand have found it difficult to constantly keep the scoreboard ticking. 

Anything between 150-170 will be deemed a decent total on this wicket. Winning the toss and batting first should be the way forward.

Match Prediction

SEO has by far the best team in the competition so far. With only a solitary loss, the Orcas have given the other teams a hard team. MINY, on the other hand, have endured a very erratic journey so far in the tournament and are in danger of being eliminated. 

We predict SEO to return back to winning ways.
