Washington Freedom Team News & Playing 11
WAF Team News
After winning three games in a row, it was no surprise to see the same XI selected for Washington Freedom for their final group stage match against MI New York. Although they were well beaten against MI New York, we expect to see the same XI in this clash.
WAF Key Players
- Glenn Phillips - The New Zealander struck three sixes and two fours as he top scored against this MI New York attack on Sunday. He is an excellent batter and fielder.
- Moises Henriques - The Australian all-rounder was expensive with the ball in the last game but has been very consistent with the bat at both venues during this tournament.
- Anrich Nortje - The South African right-arm pace bowler conceded only 13 runs from 3 overs in the last game against MI New York. We expect him to bowl with the same control in this match.
WAF Team Form
Washington Freedom were well beaten in their last game after winning their previous three matches against Texas Super Kings, Los Angeles Knight Riders and San Francisco Unicorns in MLC 2023.

South African right-arm pace bowler Kagiso Rabada has missed the last two matches and we do not expect him to be fit for this game. With Rabada out of the side, David Wiese plays a crucial role in the bowling attack and will be in the team again.

- Trent Boult - The left-arm quick bowler took the wickets of Dwaine Pretorius, Imad Wasim and Harmeet Singh inside four balls during the last game.
