Out come the players. Mayers has been handed the new ball. He does get big swing. How well can he control it?
Ian Holland: I think it (pitch) was holding. So clear plan to hit that wicket hard and try variations. It's great to play competitive cricket here. If we can have a good powerplay that will set us well to chase this down.
19:57 Local Time, 02:57 GMT, 08:27 IST: Excellent work by Washington Freedom. They were put under the pump in the powerplay as Warner and Mayers got Seattle Orcas off to a flier. The two southpaws found the boundaries at regular intervals and added a 60-run stand for the opening wicket. But that was it, Washington never got the same kind of momentum for the rest of their innings as they kept losing wickets in regular intervals. Ian Holland was the chief wrecker as he picked up a 4-fer and also kept a lid on the scoring rate in the middle overs. He was well supported by the rest especially the Australian pair of Jack Edwards and Mitchell Owen.
