Hetmyer Leads Orcas to Comeback Win Over Unicorns

Seattle Orcas began on shaky grounds in return. Steven Taylor and Kyle Mayers were sent back cheaply, leaving the side at 18/2. Shayan Jahangir 36 off 27 attempted counterattacking but was gone soon after Raza’s departure. Wickets kept falling with increasing pressure. Shimron Hetmyer, however, played a match-winning innings of 78* off 37 balls, hitting 4 fours and 7 sixes. His belligerent strokeplay robbed the Unicorns of the game, especially during the death overs.

As much as there was tight bowling from Romario Shepherd and Karima Gore, the Unicorns were not able to stop Hetmyer a stop. Gerald Coetzee’s late cameo 7* off 5 saw the chase successfully completed three balls early, closing the innings at 169/6 in 19.3 overs.

For his match-winning performance, Hetmyer was named Player of the Match for the third game in a row. With this victory, the Orcas sustained their run of success, achieving their third consecutive win and strengthening their position in the points table.
