Seattle Orcas vs Washington Freedom highlights  

Seattle Orcas were put into bat first and had a decent start, courtesy of Kyle Mayers and David Warner. Mayers smashed 27 off 17, while Warner played a blazing knock of 31 off just 17 balls.  

Despite this aggressive start, the Orcas faltered in the middle overs. Skipper Heinrich Klaasen (17), Aaron Jones (12), and Raza (15) tried to hold the innings together, but Holland’s 4/19 and Jack Edwards’ 2/24 dismantled their middle order. Seattle eventually posted 145/9 in their 20 overs. 

Washington Freedom’s blazing chase 

Washington Freedom came out all guns blazing in their reply. Mitchell Owen set the tone early with a 25-run cameo, but it was Rachin Ravindra’s explosive 44 off 18 balls that broke the back of the chase.  

He was well supported by skipper Glenn Maxwell, who anchored the innings with an unbeaten 38 off 20 balls, showing great composure after three wickets. 

Despite some resistance from Seattle’s bowlers, particularly Waqar Salamkheil, who took two wickets, Washington never looked in trouble.  

Glenn Phillips and Jack Edwards chipped in with quick runs before Mukhtar Ahmed wrapped up the chase. The Freedom reached 149/5 in just 13.3 overs, gaining a massive net run rate boost.
