Seattle Orcas vs MI New York Team Preview

Seattle Orcas

The Seattle Orcas dominated the group stage before defeating the Texas Super Kings in Qualifier 1. However, MI New York will be a difficult team to defeat in this final.

Seattle Orcas have received one day more rest than their opponents ahead of the MLC 2023 final after winning Qualifier 1 on Thursday. There were no signs of injuries in their playoff triumph, and we anticipate seeing the same starting lineup that defeated the Texas Super Kings.    

MI New York

Many commentators tipped MI New York to win the tournament before it began, but they have not been as dominant as many people thought. However, they appear to be regaining their form just in time for this game.

Captain Kieron Pollard broke his right arm while fielding against Seattle Orcas in the group stage and has missed both playoff games. We do not expect MI New York to take any chances with his fitness, and we believe they will field the same lineup as in their previous playoff game.

Grand Prairie Stadium

Because the team batting second has won the last two playoff games, we predict that both captains will choose to field first if they win the toss.

The weather forecast calls for a sunny and steamy start to the final, with temperatures in the mid-to-high 30s. There will be no rain and mild humidity throughout the game.

The Grand Prairie Stadium pitch provides a terrific fight between bat and ball. Any club with a first-inning total of more than 170 will be quite competitive.
