Match Highlights
Seattle Orcas won the toss and elected to bat first at the Oakland Coliseum, and the decision was vindicated inside the first six overs as the Orcas top order took the bowling apart. Tim Seifert set the tone with 32 off just 14 balls, including four sixes, before becoming the first man dismissed, caught and bowled by Xavier Bartlett with the total already past 60.
The powerplay produced 83 runs for the loss of only that one wicket, an emphatic platform that allowed Shayan Jahangir to carry on the assault. Jahangir reached fifty off just 20 balls, striking three fours and five sixes, and eventually fell for 62 off 25, caught by Brody Couch off Ghulam Mudassar with Seattle past 138.
Matthew Breetzke continued the assault through the middle overs, adding a brisk stand with Jahangir before the latter departed, and went on to make 51 off 29 balls with three fours and three sixes. A San Francisco review against him was turned down in the 12th over, but the platform he and Jahangir had built already had Seattle past 138 for the loss of just two wickets.
What followed was a rapid loss of wickets for Seattle. Shimron Hetmyer fell for 3 immediately after the drinks break, and Matthew Breetzke departed for 51 just one run later. Marcus Stoinis added only 1 before also departing, and by the time Dasun Shanaka was out for 14 in the 17th over, Seattle had slipped from a commanding 138 for 2 to 169 for 6, losing four wickets for just 31 runs.
A flurry of wickets at the death, including a double strike from Matthew Short that accounted for Harmeet Singh and Cameron Gannon without the score moving, briefly threatened to keep the total down. Ali Sheikh’s 19 off 17 helped push the innings to 190 before Ottneil Baartman was given out lbw to Haris Rauf, a Seattle review failing to overturn the decision and sealing the Orcas at 191 in 19.2 overs.
San Francisco’s chase began in disarray. Finn Allen fell for nought in the first over, Matthew Short was caught for 10 attempting to accelerate, and Sanjay Krishnamurthi added only 3 before also departing, leaving the chase at 26 for 3 inside the first four overs against a target of 192.
Lhuan-dre Pretorius and Aaron Hardie then produced the partnership that turned the match. Pretorius raced to fifty off just 23 balls with five fours and four sixes, and the pair added 99 for the fourth wicket to drag San Francisco from the brink back into control of the chase, reaching 108 for 3 by the tenth-over drinks break.
The key moment of the match followed almost immediately. Dasun Shanaka struck twice in the same over, removing Hardie for 28 and then Hammad Azam without scoring two balls later, both departing with the total on 125, undoing much of the momentum Pretorius and Hardie had built and tightening the contest right when San Francisco appeared to be cruising.
Pretorius continued on regardless, eventually falling for 87 off 39 balls, caught by Shimron Hetmyer off Cameron Gannon at 136, an innings that included nine fours and six sixes and had carried San Francisco through the toughest stretch of the chase.
From there the finish turned tense. Hassan Khan’s 16 and a run-out that accounted for Xavier Bartlett at 155 left San Francisco needing the lower order to finish the job, and with the equation still unresolved entering the final overs, the match swung on every delivery.
Brody Couch settled it. His unbeaten 26 off 14 balls, struck at better than 185, combined with Haris Rauf’s composed support of 5 not out, carried San Francisco to 192 for 8 with two balls to spare, completing a two-wicket win in a match that came down to the final over.
