MI New York finally registered their first win of the season in their last outing. They had lost two consecutive matches despite some brilliant batting performances. While it was Monank Patel’s match-winning knock as the opener, MINY have many match-winning batters in the lineup.
Washington Freedom bowled out LA Knight Riders for 95 runs while defending 208 in their recent win. Their bowlers have headlined the recent back-to-back victories for WAF. Saurabh Netravalkar, Jack Edwards, and Ian Holland are the key wicket-takers in this squad.
For MI New York, Quinton de Kock, Michael Bracewell, and Nicholas Pooran will be expected to deliver impactful batting performances in the top 4. While there are some experienced bowlers in this squad, they haven’t been on top of their game lately.
We expect a close contest between the two well-matched teams and plenty of runs to be scored in this match.

MI New York lost their opening game by 3 runs while chasing 186. In their second game, the bowlers picked up 7 wickets while defending 182, but ended up losing the match. It was a valiant effort in both outings, but just not enough to get them across the line.
Finally, while chasing an even bigger target, MI New York’s key batters rose to the occasion to deliver match-winning performances. Monank Patel, who played at number 3 in previous games, was sent to open the innings alongside Quinton de Kock.
This experiment worked wonders as the right-hand batter scored 93 off 50 balls. We reckon that’s a good combination, and replacing Agnee Chopra was a good decision. In the middle-order, Michael Bracewell and Nicholas Pooran are the key performers expected to deliver impactful partnerships for MI New York.
Skipper Kieron Pollard is in great touch and has scored consistently in the lower order. He is a reliable finisher and, with his current form, the greatest asset for the side. In the bowling department, Naveen-ul-Haq is a key wicket-taker and will be expected to bounce back after a poor outing in the last game.
Trent Boult, Michael Bracewell, and Sunny Patel are other key bowlers to watch out for in this squad.

Washington Freedom started on a losing note but have won back-to-back matches since then. Openers Mitchell Owens and Rachin Ravindra have looked promising at the top. And while the WAF suffered a collapse in their last outing, skipper Glenn Maxwell came to the rescue with a hundred at number 6.
Maxwell played a key role in the previous run chase, too. Wicket-keeper batsman Andres Gous has failed to convert his starts into something significant at number 3 and will have all eyes on him.
At number 4, Washington Freedom have a very promising, young Mark Chapman. He replaced his Kiwi teammate Glenn Phillips but struggled all the same. The lack of runs in the middle order from big names is a major issue Washington Freedom must confront going ahead in this league.
Maxwell and the bowlers cannot deliver a win every single time. They need their middle-order batters to also score runs and build crucial partnerships. Mark Adair joined Saurabh Netravalkar in the pace department in their last game, and we think this was a brilliant choice.
Adair is a great fast bowler who can consistently trouble the batsmen. With the young Jack Edwards and Mitchell Owen also delivering consistent wickets, the Washington Freedom bowling attack has only become stronger.

It will be mostly sunny in Dallas with a high of 34 degrees Celsius. The skies will get clear as the game progresses, and we can expect a complete T20 game without any rain interruptions.

Average Turn
It has been a bowling-friendly wicket at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 matches here is 146 runs, and only once in the last 10 games has a team crossed the 180-run mark. We reckon anything around 175-185 can be a competitive total in this match.
There is no clear advantage in favor of the team batting or bowling first on this wicket. Teams batting first have won 50% of the last 10 T20 matches played on this ground. Washington Freedom’s bowling strength will prompt them to bat first and defend a total, while MI New York could post a competitive total batting first.
It will be a neck-and-neck contest between two well-matched teams that feature some promising and experienced match-winners in every department. However, Washington Freedom’s bowling strength puts them slightly ahead of MINY in our match prediction.
