Notably, Washington defeated Los Angeles Knight Riders by six wickets in their previous match. Their bowlers did concede a lot of runs but the batters played some brilliant cricket as Matthew Short and Andries Gous gave the team a perfect start. Later on, Glenn Phillips and Obus Pienaar did well as the team managed a comfortable victory.
