The star of the match was the stand-in skipper Nicholas Pooran who single handedly snatched the victory from Seattle Orcas team.

He was the lone man standing for MINY, as the second best individual contributor was Brevis with 20 runs.

Earlier in the first innings, the two most experienced bowlers in the side , Trent Boult and Rashid Khan scalped 3 wickets each to stop Seattle from scoring big after the initial onslaught of Quinton De Kock.
