Seattle Orcas win by 88 runs in a very comprehensive all-round display. Freedom not at the races today, particularly after the 10-over mark with the ball. Shimron Hetmyer and Marcus Stoinis took the game away with the bat - 15 sixes between them - then Freedom's top order was blown away from Jasdeep Singh.
Darsh: "Let alone ducks, but how many golden ducks does Maxwell have??? Since IPL 2024 That's been the majority from what i've seen. Can someone with stats help?" From Shiva: Maxwell's 11 golden ducks in T20s since the start of IPL 2024 are the most for any batter in the format. The next most are Hasan Ali's 8.
Steve Smith says his team will need to learn from tonight. Not the easiest pitch, but he thinks it got a bit better.
Jasdeep Singh is player of the match. "Very grateful to be here, last couple of months were tough for me. Shout to my wife and kids, this one is for them and family back home."
Marcus Stoinis "There's power there [in the middle order] it's just about unleashing it at the right time. [On the bowling] There's enough there with the ball, it's about consistency...hats off to all the boys, they executed."
Right, that's all for today. Three double headers to come so do join us for all those along with all the other cricket currently happening. For now, from Gnasher, it's goodbye.
