What a thriller of a game! What a Super human effort from Shimron Hetmyer to take his team accross the line by hitting six required on the last ball of the game!!
By doing so Orcas also became the team to chase highest ever Total in MLC. They needed this victory after all what had been happening this season for them on or off the field. Things were not going well at all. They had alredy lost 5/5 and this led them to stacking their coach and removing Klassen from captaincy. And it seems to have worked for them. Their batsmen have all got starts and played more freely to never let the required rate go beyond them.
And finally requiring 21 of 8 balls, Hetmyer went for 2 big sixes which made the equation down to 9 runs off 6 balls. But MI again made a comeback with Pollard only giving 3 runs on first five balls. Then on the last ball, it was Mayhem! Seattle won their first game of this season.
Update for Degens
- San Francisco and Unicorns are just one victory away from reaching to the playoffs.
- There will be any two teams out of the remaining four to reach there. The gates are still open for all with Texas super Kings ahead by miles to other three.
- Not Mathematically but TSK are also through to the playoffs, almost. They would still need two more wins though, or require no other team wins three matches to match them on the points table.
Enjoy the Highlights
