Match Preview

The frenzy around the ongoing Major League Cricket tournament has reached its crescendo as we look forward to the Finals, which are scheduled to be hosted at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas this Sunday.

Washington Freedom continues with its incredible form from last season. They are the most consistent side this year and have rightfully earned a place in the finals for the second consecutive year. They will now look to become the first team with back-to-back MLC titles.

MI New York won the inaugural edition of the MLC but wasn’t able to reach the finals last year. Their current season didn’t start off well. However, thanks to some power-packed individual performances from the likes of Kieron Pollard, Monank Patel, and Nicholas Pooran have kept them afloat and they will now back themselves to win the title yet again.

Injuries & Illnesses

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

The pitch at the Grand Prairie Stadium is expected to be balanced. There is a forecast for rain over the weekend and that will bring in plenty of moisture as well. The quicker bowlers can expect movement off the seam as well as through the air. The batsmen will have to wait for the right delivery to play their shots.

It is expected to rain here on Sunday as well and we might see interruptions or even a shortened match due to the weather.

WF vs MINY Dream11 Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

Nicholas Pooran is the top pick here. He scored a brilliant half-century on Friday and could play another vital knock here. We are also selecting Quinton de Kock for his consistency with the bat.

Batters

Glenn Maxwell is the obvious choice. We are also going with Monank Patel and Michael Bracewell. Monank is the leading run-scorer for MI, while Bracewell is a valuable asset in the middle order.

All Rounders

There are plenty of all-rounders on both sides. Our picks include Mitchell Owen, Kieron Pollard, Jack Edwards, and Rachin Ravindra

Bowlers

Since the seamers have done well here in the last couple of matches, Trent Boult and Ian Holland are in the team.

WF vs MINY Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

Captain

Mitchell Owen is the captain of our team. He is the leading run-scorer as well as the leading wicket-taker for Washington this season.

Vice-Captain

We are opting for Kieron Pollard as the vice-captain of our side. He has been pretty consistent with the ball and has also played some decent knocks lower down the order.

WF vs MINY Team Expert Advice

The last couple of matches have shown that the pitch at the Grand Prairie Stadium isn’t as easy to bat on as it was at the start of the season. Luckily, there are plenty of all-rounders playing for both sides and that helps us choose a balanced team. We have given more weightage to seamers keeping in mind the moist surface and overcast conditions.
