There are no reports of injuries from either side
We are expecting an excellent batting track for this match. Most of the matches played here have been high-scoring and the bowlers haven’t had much success. However, it has rained here over the past few days and there might be some moisture under the surface, helping the bowlers early on.
The weather is expected to be cloudy and there might be some drizzle during the match.
We are selecting Andries Gous here. He has been pretty consistent in the middle order for Washington Freedom.
Faf du Plessis is the top choice here as he is the leading run-scorer of the tournament. We are also selecting Glenn Maxwell and Shubham Ranjane.
There are plenty of quality all-rounders playing for both teams. We are selecting Mitchell Owen, Jack Edwards, Donovan Ferreria, and Marcus Stoinis.
Adam Milne and Noor Ahmad have both picked up 14 wickets and made it to our team. We are also selecting Ian Holland.
Mitchell Owen is the obvious choice here as he is currently the best all-rounder in the league. He is the leading run-scorer as well as the leading wicket-taker for Washington this year.
We are going with Faf du Plessis as the vice-captain. He is the leading run-scorer for this season and has a good record against Washington Freedom, scoring 2 half-centuries and a century in 4 matches against them.
We have selected plenty of batsmen for this match as the pitch in Dallas is likely to favor the batsmen. Luckily for us, there are also some quality all-rounders who can bowl well and they bring balance to the team. The spinners are likely to struggle here and we have therefore opted for only one specialist spinner.
Adam Milne has 563 points from the last 5 matches at an average of 112 points per game.
Faf du Plessis (409), Mitchell Owen (313), Shubham Ranjane (267)
Adam Milne (14), Noor Ahmad (14), Mitchell Owen (14)
Faf du Plessis (26), Glenn Maxwell (24), Mitchell Owen (22)
Donovan Ferreria (225.00), Mitchell Owen (195.62), Glenn Maxwell (185.15)
Lockie Ferguson (2.50), Akeal Hosein (5.00), Adam Milne (6.67)
