MI New York vs Washington Freedom, 13th Match - Live Cricket Score

The MI New York and Washington Freedom (WAF) will play off in the league's 13th game on July 24 at Morrisville's Church Street Park. Following a difficult start, the Washington team has emerged as one of the tournament's favorites, standing tall in second place. Despite having an array of accomplished stars, MI New York have managed just one victory, leaving them slightly above last place in the points standings.

MI New York's two defeats came while chasing the target of 215 and 154 runs in the alternative games. On both occasions, two out of the top three batters failed miserably in the early overs, putting huge pressure on the middle order. Though their middle order appears best on the papers, their performances have not secured them an emphatic win. In the recent chase, they literally succumbed to their opponent in a 157-run chase. Failing to convert the explosive starts affected their momentum. Their bowlers have picked up an average of seven wickets per game so far, and their batters have lost the same amount of wickets every game, which is troubling them to make impressive performances.

Washington Freedom (WAF) are comfortably sailing with high standards from both batters and bowlers. They both complement each other, and that makes them the most successful pair in this tournament. For instance, their batters failed and slumped to 133 runs for the loss of eight wickets in the previous game, but their bowlers stood up to the assigned task. Only one bowler has gone over six runs per over, and the rest have stuck to less than five runs; this reflects their quality. As a result, they picked up all the wickets to secure a 30-run margin of victory in the previous outing.
