Washington Freedom vs MI New York prediction
It’s a stacked MI New York side that will take to the field in Texas to begin their title defence against the team they beat in last year’s MLC final. Whether it be power with the bat, pace with the ball or experience under pressure, MI New York has it and will have been looking forward to finally getting out on the field.
Washington Freedom have already played, losing by five wickets to Seattle Orcas after failing to defend 216. On a good surface, the Freedom bowlers were smashed to all parts. MI New York perhaps boasts more natural wicket-takers in their line-up and that will be important when the pitch is so well catered for batters. This makes it worth backing the reigning champions.
