Team Previews
Washington Freedom Preview
Washington Freedom have bounced back impressively after a slow start. With Maxwell’s hundred in their last game and a dominant bowling performance against LA Knight Riders, they are currently one of the form teams.
Their top order hasn’t delivered consistently, with Mitchell Owen, Rachin Ravindra, and Andries Gous struggling to post big totals. However, Glenn Maxwell has been exceptional at number six, playing match-winning knocks.
Their bowling, spearheaded by Saurabh Netravalkar, Mark Adair, and Jack Edwards, has become one of the strongest in the competition. Young pacers have brought early breakthroughs, while Adair adds death-over control. The inclusion of Mark Chapman and Obus Pienaar adds to the batting depth, though neither has made a significant impact yet.
To keep the winning run going, WAF will need better returns from their top four batters.
MI New York Preview
MI New York were under pressure after two straight losses, but a reshuffled lineup did the trick. Promoting Monank Patel to open with Quinton de Kock paid off handsomely, with Monank scoring a match-winning 93 off 50 balls.
In the middle, Nicholas Pooran, Michael Bracewell, and Kieron Pollard form a power-packed trio. Pollard’s finishing skills and form are a massive boost.
MINY’s bowling has been inconsistent. While Naveen-ul-Haq has shown promise, he’s lacked support. Trent Boult and Michael Bracewell bring experience, but they’ll need to be at their best to counter WAF’s depth.
MINY must find better rhythm with the ball if they want to match Washington’s intensity.

Favourite Team Today – Washington Freedom
Washington Freedom are the stronger side heading into this contest. They have a well-balanced bowling unit, an in-form Glenn Maxwell, and a growing sense of momentum. While MI New York have explosive batters, their bowling lacks the sharpness to defend or contain high-scoring teams. If Freedom’s bowlers strike early, MI’s middle-order could crumble under pressure.
