Haris Rauf

Haris Rauf’s four-wicket haul helped San Fransico Unicorns bundle out Seattle Orcas at just 144 runs to win the game by 32 runs and continue their winning streak in the ongoing MLC 2025. The San Francisco Unicorns have also qualified for the playoffs, being in the top spot on the points table.

‌The Orcas skipper, Heinrich Klaasen, won the toss and asked the San Francisco Unicorns to bat first; the Unicorns scored 176/8 in the allotted 20 overs. Matthew Short scored a quick half-century, hitting 52 runs off just 29 balls, with seven fours and two sixes. Besides him, Romario Shepherd also scored a blistering half-century, smashing 56 runs off just 31 balls, with four fours and as many sixes. While defending the target, the Haris Rauf-led bowling attack of the Unicorns outmuscled the entire batting lineup of the SEO, restricting them to a score of just 144 runs in 18.2 overs. Rauf’s four-wicket haul played a crucial role in his side’s win over the Orcas.

It was the moment in the 16th over of the innings that caught the attention of the fans and attracted eyeballs. It all started with the straight six smashed by Gerald Coetzee off Haris Rauf on the first ball, opening the full face of the bat on the full and overpitched delivery. However, Rauf didn’t take much time to complete his revenge on the next ball when he bowled a 90mph corker on the stumps. Coetzee tried to play it across the line, and the ball went on to hit the off stump to clean up and end Coetzee's five-ball knock.

Haris Rauf ended up as the most successful bowler in the entire game; he scalped 4 wickets at 32 runs in four innings. He also bowled 10 dot balls in his spell of 4 overs to register the impressive numbers to his name. The star Pakistan pacer could also be a crucial asset with the ball for his side in the playoffs with the pace-friendly tracks in the USA.

What a Comeback!
