THE LOWDOWN

WASHINGTON FREEDOM

Washington Freedom come into the play-offs on the back of a loss against opponents here MI New York and will need to significantly improve with the ball especially if they are to get the better of them this time round. The domestic bowlers in particular were smashed around the park and so much depends on their overseas stars. They also need weightier contributions within the top order, bigger individual scores with players passing the half-century mark.

MI NEW YORK

MI New York’s most recent victory came against Washington Freedom but their last Major League Cricket fixture also ended in defeat, a narrow two wicket loss at the hands of Seattle Orcas. The big positive from MI New York across the last couple of games has been the form of Nicholas Pooran, who has played two scintillating knocks of 62 not out in a successful run chase and 68 from 34 balls as MI New York racked up 194/8 against the Orcas. Unfortunately for them though, they couldn’t defend that total as Heinrich Klassen put them to the sword with an unbeaten 110.

THE PREDICTION

Although MI New York were beaten in that final group match, they competed well across the contest and it took one special innings to deny them. It’s hard to see any player from Washington Freedom having the ability to play a knock like Klassen did, so if MI New York can put together a similar all-round showing with the bat, then it should prove enough for them to get the better of the Freedom. MI New York had the better of Washington’s bowlers this past Sunday and they are expected to repeat the dose here in Texas, so back Kieron Pollard’s side to advance through.
