MINY vs WAF Team Previews
MI New York
The MI New York hasn’t been in the best of forms this season and is currently 5th on the points table. However, they still have 2 matches to play, including this one. They will need to win both of them to keep their qualification hopes alive.
Despite having some of the biggest hitters in white ball cricket, the team has struggled to put up match-winning totals. The MI New York is still struggling to find a reliable opening pair, which can give them a solid start. Local players Monank Patel, Hammad Azam, and Steven Taylor have struggled to get going so far and the team will need them to get some runs under their belt soon.
Shayan Jahangir has done a decent job in the two matches he has played. New York will rely on Nicholas Pooran, Tim David, and Kieron Pollard to give them a strong finish. Coming to the bowling, Trent Boult and Kagiso Rabada have bowled well, picking up 6 wickets a piece.
However, the same cannot be said about the other bowlers. The MI New York will need to come up with a special performance if they want to win this match.
MI New York Playing 11
Nicholas Pooran, Monank Patel, Shayan Jahangir, Kieron Pollard, Timothy David, Rashid Khan, David Wiese, Hammad Azam, Trent Boult, Ehsan Adil, Nosthush Kenjige.
Washington Freedom
After losing their season opener against the Seattle Orcas, Washington Freedom has won 3 consecutive matches and has qualified for the playoffs. They are currently second on the points table and a win here will guarantee them a place in Qualifier 1.
The batting hasn’t been a strong point for Washington this season. The opening pair of Matthew Short and Andries Gous, while doing well in patches, will need to be more consistent and give the team a strong start. Washington Freedom also lacks depth in batting, with Glenn Phillips being the only established batsman in the middle order.
They will have to depend on all-rounders Moises Henriques and Obus Pienaar to play well at the death. However, the bowling has been brilliant. Washington Freedom has a strong pace attack, thanks to bowlers like Anrich Nortje, Marco Jansen, and Saurabh Netravalkar.
The latter bowled a superb spell in the last match, claiming 6 wickets for just 9 runs. The spin attack, led by Akeal Hosein and Dane Piedt is pretty good too. If Washington does manage to improve on its batting, it can emerge as one of the most serious contenders to win the title.
