As far as the bowling goes, San Francisco is yet to perform at their very best, but the Pakistani duo of Haris Rauf and Shadab Khan have been quite decent with the ball thus far.

Washington Freedom were exceptional with the bat in their previous outing, but they are yet to prove their consistency in the MLC 2023. For that very reason, San Francisco Unicorns will be fancying their chances of getting that big win in their upcoming encounter at Morrisville.
