TEAMS PREVIEW
Washington Freedom Preview
San Francisco Unicorns are in top form this season with six straight wins that have pushed them to the number one spot. In their most recent outing, they brushed aside Seattle Orcas by 32 runs after putting up a big total of 177 and defending it with ease.
Much of their momentum has come from how strong their batting lineup has been. Opening batter Finn Allen has been on fire, blasting 298 runs in five games at a strike rate of 247. His aggressive starts have given the team a solid platform more often than not.
Jake Fraser-McGurk has also played a big part, scoring 230 runs in six matches while striking at 189.
Their batting looks settled, especially with captain Matthew Short finding some touch again, thanks to back-to-back fifties in the last two matches.
With the ball, Haris Rauf has been the standout, taking 16 wickets and conceding at just over 9 an over. He has been consistently good and can be the game-changer again for the team. Xavier Bartlett and Hassan Khan have chipped in well, combining for 16 wickets so far.
Washington Freedom Predicted Playing XI:
Matthew Short (c), Finn Allen, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Sanjay Krishnamurthi, Romario Shepherd, Hassan Khan, Jahmar Hamilton (wk), Xavier Bartlett, Haris Rauf, Carmi le Roux, Brody Couch

San Francisco Unicorns Preview
Defending champions Washington Freedom have looked composed this season with five victories and just one defeat, which came against San Francisco Unicorns. In their most recent outing, they pulled off a tense chase of 214 against Los Angeles Knight Riders, winning by five wickets on the final ball.
Mitchell Owen has led the way with the bat, putting up 288 runs across six innings at a blistering strike rate of 212. With two fifties already, he is expected to carry the load again.
Andries Gous and captain Glenn Maxwell have brought energy to the middle order and have done well to keep the tempo going. Maxwell, in particular, has looked fluent and sits second on their run chart with 227 from five matches.
Rachin Ravindra has shown glimpses of his timing, but the team will want a bit more from him at the top.
Their bowling unit looks well-rounded. Ian Holland and Mitchell Owen have each picked up nine wickets, and Jack Edwards is close behind with eight. Maxwell and Saurabh Netravalkar have pitched in, though there will be higher expectations from Netravalkar in the games ahead.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
Conditions at Grand Prairie Stadium are perfect for batters, thanks to a consistent bounce and a quick outfield that rewards clean strokes over raw power. Fast bowlers may find some assistance early in the innings, particularly under lights, but any movement usually fades once the ball gets older. Spinners tend to focus more on accuracy and variation than trying to extract much turn.
The forecast for Dallas points to hot weather with plenty of sun throughout the day.

Winning Prediction
Washington Freedom and San Francisco Unicorns have both been the top sides of MLC 2025. There’s very little separating the two at the moment, so this match can really go either way. It will all come down to which team bowls better, as both sides are likely to exploit the great batting conditions to the maximum. It’s not an easy one to call, but San Francisco Unicorns edge ahead slightly with a 51-49 advantage thanks to a more reliable bowling unit.
