TEAMS PREVIEW
Washington Freedom Preview
Washington Freedom have looked confident throughout the season and head into their second straight final after a strong showing in the league stage, winning eight out of ten matches. Their Qualifier 1 clash with Texas Super Kings was abandoned due to rain, with only the toss taking place. Since no reserve day was slotted in, Washington advanced directly to the final after topping the table.
Their squad looks balanced, with both batting and bowling units delivering across games. Mitchell Owen has been the most explosive with the bat, scoring 313 runs in 10 innings at a strike rate of 195.62. He’ll be expected to play a major part again in the final.
Andries Gous and captain Glenn Maxwell have held the middle order together. Maxwell has looked composed at the crease and is their second-best scorer with 237 runs in nine games, striking at 185.
Rachin Ravindra has chipped in with a few useful starts, though the team will want more from him at the top during the playoffs.
In the bowling unit, Jack Edwards and Mitchell Owen have picked up 27 wickets between them. Ian Holland has kept things tight with 10 wickets and an economy of 7.34. Glenn Maxwell and Saurabh Netravalkar have taken 17 between them, and if Maxwell gets going with the ball, he could offer valuable overs.
Washington Freedom Predicted Playing XI:
Mitchell Owen, Rachin Ravindra, Andries Gous(w), Glenn Phillips, Glenn Maxwell(c), Mukhtar Ahmed, Obus Pienaar, Jack Edwards, Ian Holland, Lockie Ferguson, Saurabh Netravalkar

MI New York Preview
MI New York struggled early in the competition, managing only two wins from their opening eight games. Since then, they’ve displayed real good form to reach the playoffs, and have now pulled off two thrilling wins to reach the finals, first against San Francisco Unicorns in the Eliminator and then over Texas Super Kings in the Challenger.
It hasn’t been an easy road, but MI have figured out how to reach the finals. With momentum on their side, they will be a serious threat here.
Monank Patel has been their most steady batter, putting together 450 runs from 12 innings with an average of 37.66 and a strike rate of 143.31.
Quinton de Kock has chipped in with 296 runs from 11 innings at the top, scoring at 138 to keep things ticking.
Nicholas Pooran has made his presence felt in the back half of the season. His scores of 108 off 60 and 62 not out off 47 in the league stage were followed by a powerful 52 off 36 in the Challenger. He is the batter who can flip a match in no time.
Michael Bracewell and Kieron Pollard have both timed their efforts well. Pollard, in particular, brings a lot to the table, and his 47 not out off 22 in the Challenger shows how dangerous he can be in short bursts.
The bowling hasn’t always held up under pressure, though a few have stepped up at the right time. Trent Boult has taken 13 wickets with an economy of 8 and usually provides early strikes. Nosthush Kenjige and Rushil Ugarkar have combined for 15 wickets, but the unit as a whole might prefer a slower surface against a strong Washington batting lineup.
MI New York Predicted Playing XI:
Monank Patel, Quinton de Kock (wk), Kunwarjeet Singh, Tajinder Dhillon, Nicholas Pooran (c), Michael Bracewell, Kieron Pollard, Tristan Luus, Trent Boult, Nosthush Kenjige, Rushil Ugarkar

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
Grand Prairie Stadium tends to favor batters because of its steady bounce and fast outfield, which rewards players who time the ball well. That said, the pitches used in the Eliminator and the Challenger didn’t quite follow that pattern. If the surface behaves in a similar way this time, fast bowlers might get early movement with the new ball, but that window won’t stay open for long. Spinners usually do better here by keeping it tight and mixing things up.
In Dallas, conditions will be humid on the day of the match, and a strong thunderstorm is expected in the evening, which could impact the game.

Average Turn
Grand Prairie Stadium usually sees plenty of runs, with the average first-innings score hitting 175. This season alone, 11 of the 13 matches played here have seen totals cross 200. The highest total so far belongs to San Francisco Unicorns, who posted 246 for 4 against MI New York. Considering that, both teams will likely look to post something close to the 190 to 200 mark in the final to keep the opposition under constant pressure.
Toss: To Bowl
Both playoff matches at Grand Prairie Stadium in the 2025 MLC saw the toss-winning team choose to bowl first and come out on top. That trend could influence both finalists to take the field first if they win the toss.

Winning Prediction
It all comes down to this, with both Washington Freedom and MI New York in with a chance to grab the title. MI New York have the momentum, arriving at the final after two close playoff wins. Their hopes rest heavily on the bowling attack and how well they contain Washington early on. If they manage that, they’ll be right in it. Washington, on the other hand, have looked more settled across the board and have never lost to MI before. That history should give them plenty of confidence. This one could go either way, but we lean slightly toward Washington with a 51-49 edge. That said, if Nicholas Pooran and Kieron Pollard get going, MI could easily swing it their way.
Washington Freedom are our picks for the winners of the final.
