WF vs SFU Team Previews

Washington Freedom

With 5 wins on the bounce, Washington Freedom is in excellent form at the moment. They chased down a mammoth target in their latest win against the Knight Riders and will be feeling pretty confident as they head into this contest.

Mitchell Owen continued with his excellent form with the bat and the ball as he remains the leading run-scorer for his team. He is also the joint-highest wicket-taker for Washington this season. His opening partnership with Rachin Ravindra will be the key for Washington in this match.

The middle-order batting has been quite good too, with the likes of Andries Gous, Glenn Maxwell, and Glenn Phillips contributing at various stages of the tournament. Washington’s strong pace attack is also a big factor in their success. Ian Holland, Jack Edwards, and Mitchell Owen have picked up 26 wickets between them.

However, they will want Saurabh Netravalkar to bowl better as he has just 3 wickets against his name.

San Francisco Unicorns

The San Francisco Unicorns have been the most consistent teams this year and have won all their 6 matches so far. They are the first team who have qualified for the playoffs but will still look to push forward as they aim for a top-two finish.

Their opening pair of Matthew Short and Finn Allen is one of the most explosive in the league. Short has been in incredible form, scoring 3 consecutive half-centuries, and will look to play another big knock here. Jake Fraser-McGurk has also been in excellent form and will be the key batsman for them in the middle order.

Romario Shepherd has emerged as a dependable all-rounder for the team. He scored a half-century in the previous match and also picked up a couple of wickets. The others in the middle order include Sanjay Krishnamurthy, Jahmar Hamilton, and Hassan Khan. But they haven’t had much to do given the good form of the top order.

In the bowling department, Haris Rauf remains the leading wicket-taker of the season with 16 wickets. He will be joined by Xavier Bartlett who has also bowled well to pick up 10 wickets. Hassan Khan and Matthew Short are likely to feature in the spin department.
