It has been a very strong end to the group stage for San Francisco Unicorns who find themselves only two points behind their opponents, top of the table Washington Freedom, ahead of this match. The Unicorns easily defeated Seattle Orcas in their last game.

Requiring 153 to win on Saturday, a quickfire 77 runs from only 30 balls at the top of the order from New Zealand’s Finn Allen was more than sufficient for San Francisco Unicorns. Along with Josh Inglis, Matthew Short and Sherfane Rutherford, the Unicorns will have plenty of batting power in this match.

Carmi le Roux will be looking for another opening over to match his performance against Seattle Orcas when he dismissed the in-form pair of South African Ryan Rickelton and USA star batter Aaron Jones inside the first three balls. The Unicorns have excellent depth in their bowling line-up.
