After a few hours, WF celebrated victory by 5 wickets following an easy 125-run chase in 18.2 overs. Winning the toss favored WF in this match, as they were ahead in the game from the start.
Looking at the last five MLC 2024 matches, SEO skipper Heinrich Klassen couldn’t lead the team to victory, as despite winning the toss in 2 matches, no match resulted in victory. Also, after losing the toss in 3 games, the team missed out on the victory. On the other hand, WF skipper showed better results with more victories in their kitty after losing the toss. WF lost the toss in 4 games and won three of them. However, WF garnered a hundred percent in winning the match after getting the coin in their favour, with one match resulting in victory. So, the toss outcome will be crucial for this match, showing that the coin can also flip the match direction.
