Heinrich Klassen left captaincy
Zimbabwe’s veteran all -rounder Sikander Raza was given the command of the team after Henrik Klassen’s captaincy. He captained Seattle Okas in the match against MI New York and his team won his first match of this season. Klassen must have felt very bad with his decision but he must have been happy with the team’s first victory. Seattle Orkas registered its first win after 10 matches. Earlier, the franchise also removed Matthew Mot from the post of head coach. He said that this decision has been taken due to differences in coaching and management strategies.
Seattle Orkas won its first match
In this match, MI New York, batting first, scored 237 runs losing four wickets in 20 overs. For the team, captain Nicholas Puran batted 108* runs while batting, while Tajinder Dhillon contributed 95*. For Seattle Okas, Jerald Coitzi and Kellers took two wickets each.
Chasing the target, Okas won the match on the last ball. From the team, Shimron Hetmyer played a match winning innings of 97* runs with the help of 5 fours and 9 sixes off 40 balls. He gave his team a win on the last ball. Captain Sikander Raza played an explosive innings of 30 runs while Klassen contributed 26 runs. Seattle Orcas has scored two points and is at the fifth position in the Major League 2025 points table. It will have to be seen whether the team can win in the matches and make a place in the playoffs or not?
