MLC 2023 - Washington Freedom vs MI New York, Match 16: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, and Live Streaming Details
The Washington Freedom will take on the MI New York in a do-or-die contest on Friday, July 28. The Eliminator match will commence at 2.00 am IST at Grand Prairie Cricket Stadium in Dallas.
Whoever manages to win this contest will book a place in the second Qualifier match on July 29. While for the other, it will be an end to their campaign in this year's Major League Cricket.
The Washington Freedom are placed third in the points table, sitting with an NRR of 0.097. They started off their campaign on a losing note but managed to recover well by winning three on the trot. However, a dismal bowling effort against the MI New York in their last encounter saw MINY thrash Washington by eight wickets and 27 balls to spare.
Washington would be hoping that their bowling department fires this time around to take them over the line.
The MI New York, on the other hand, are placed fourth in the points table, with two wins out of five matches. However, they would draw comfort from the fact that they have already defeated the Washington Freedons in the tournament once, that too by a hefty margin.
The landslide victory helped MINY attain a massive NRR, which ultimately helped them edge past the San Francisco Unicorns and book a berth in the playoffs.

Washington Freedom vs MI New York Unicorns Report
Contrary to the pitch at Church Street Park, chasing has been a very troublesome task on this venue. Out of eight games played so far, only once has a target been chased down successfully. The pitch tends to deteriorate as the match progresses and the ball stops coming onto the bat nicely making batting very tricky during the second innings.
Electing to bat first and putting sufficient runs on the board will be the right thing to do on this track.
