Seattle Orcas Team News & Playing 11
SOR Team News
With just one win from their opening four games, it is no surprise to see Seattle Orcas at the bottom of the table right now. However, with this match against the side directly above them, they could move up as high as fourth if they get a victory on Wednesday afternoon in Morrisville.
SOR Team Batting
Chasing 166 to win in their last game against San Francisco Unicorns, Seattle Orcas looked to be on track for a much needed victory when the openers put on 76 inside nine overs. Quinton de Kock and Heinrich Klaasen at numbers three and four will be crucial in this game.
SOR Team Bowling
Seattle Orcas have most bases covered with their bowling attack although South African international left arm pacer Nandre Burger has been inconsistent in the tournament. Imad Wasim and Cameron Gannon both come into this match after impressing with the ball in their last game in Morrisville.

Los Angeles Knight Riders Team News & Playing 11
LAKR Team News
Despite getting off to a winning start in the tournament, Los Angeles Knight Riders are also struggling in the 2024 MLC and they have been well beaten in three of their last four matches with the other game abandoned without a ball bowled. A win in this match will see them go level on points with third placed San Francisco Unicorns.
LAKR Team Batting
The top order for Los Angeles Knight Riders will need to improve on their returns from the last game which saw Jason Roy top score from the top four with only 12 and the other three making either a duck or only one! There is power in the middle order with David Miller and Andre Russell both very attacking and experienced batters.
LAKR Team Bowling
Only Spencer Johnson and Shadley van Schalkwyk picked up a wicket for Los Angeles Knight Riders in the last game but that means that if the same side is selected for this match then four of the bowling attack will come into this fixture after going wicketless.
LAKR Team Form
Another defeat for Los Angeles Knight Riders will mean five games without a win in the tournament.
