MI New York vs Washington Freedom Team Preview

MI New York

The MI New York team just lost to the Texas Super Kings by a score of 17 runs. At Grand Prairie Stadium, they set a target of 155, but due to poor batting, they could only achieve 137-8.

MI really needs to improve their batting, or else the season will escape their control. Tim David, who bats further down the order, is their top run-scorer through three games (125 runs at a strike rate of 184). Nicholas Pooran has only been able to score 97 runs in three games while maintaining a 121 strike rate.    

Washington Freedom

The Washington Freedom has won their last three games after losing their opening game to the Seattle Orcas. They recently defeated the San Francisco Unicorns by a score of 30 runs in a game played at Church Street Park. After being given the opportunity to bat first, Washington Freedom scored 133-8 before dismissing the Unicorns for just 103.

The main dismantler was left-arm seamer Saurabh Netravalkar, who took 6 wickets for just 9 runs from 3.5 overs. The team’s bowling attack would have had even more confidence moving forward because it was the best bowling performance of the competition. Opening batsmen Matthew Short (130 runs in 4 matches at a strike rate of 132.65) and Andries Gous (98 runs in 4 matches at a strike rate of 140) have been the focal point of the Washington Freedom’s batting. The club sorely lacks a suitable finisher, although captain Moises Henriques (91 runs in 4 matches at a strike rate of 111) has given steadiness in the middle order.
