Coetzee, in the first innings with the ball, took 3 wickets for 34 runs in his 4 overs. He struck early by dismissing Finn Allen (4 runs) in the second over and later removed Sanjay Krishnamurthi and Xavier Bartlett, helping restrict the Unicorns from 86 for 1 to 103 for 6.
But still, with good knocks from Matthew Short (52 from 31 balls) and Romario Shepherd (56 from 29 balls), the Unicorns scored 176 runs for 8 wickets in 20 overs. For the Orcas, apart from Coetzee, Harmeet Singh took 3 wickets, while Obed McCoy and Cameron Gannon got one each.
In reply, the Seattle Orcas were bowled out for 144 in 18.2 overs. Shayan Jahangir top-scored with 40, followed by Shimron Hetmyer with 30 and David Warner with 23. For San Francisco Unicorns, Haris Rauf took four wickets, Matthew Short got three, and Romario Shepherd picked up two. Seattle fell short and lost the match by 32 runs.
ALSO READ:
Gerald Coetzee didn’t have a great IPL 2025 season with Gujarat Titans. He played four matches and took just two wickets, with a high economy rate of 10.91. In 2024, he did better for Mumbai Indians, taking 13 wickets in 10 games, but was released and picked up by Gujarat.
He is doing well in MLC 2025, taking three wickets in only his second match. If he keeps performing well in the remaining MLC games and also in upcoming international matches, Gujarat Titans might retain him for IPL 2026.
