Washington Freedom vs MI New York prediction
Despite an even record of five wins and five defeats, MI New York did enough to sneak into the playoffs but whilst they ended two points below third-placed finishers Washington Freedom, MI New York boasted a better net-run-rate across the league stage. However, Washington will rightly come into this eliminator game as favourites after beating their opponents twice already this season.
MI New York will need captain Nicholas Pooran at his best and the West Indian does have previous vs the Freedom, blasting 86 from 44 balls against them last time out. These Washington batters though have consistently gotten the better of MI New York’s bowlers, racking up 435 runs across their two league stage encounters. Therefore, it makes sense to back Washington making it through and eliminating Pooran’s side.
Washington Freedom vs MI New York tip: Washington Freedom to win
