MI New York vs Washington Freedom Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
One of the key reasons why Washington Freedom has been so effective in the tournament is the fact they have managed to outscore their opponents in the powerplay. Washington averages 56 runs in the powerplay this season but has conceded just 34.33 runs in those games. On the other hand, MI New York averages 38.33 runs in first six overs and have conceded more runs in powerplay than they have scored in two of the three games thus far. We believe Washington Freedom will score more in the first six overs than MI New York.
MI New York vs Washington Freedom Match Toss Prediction
In the three games at the venue, on two occasions team bowling first has won the game but on the last game Washington Freedom managed to defend a below par score on the wicket which was down to the bad batting by San Francisco Unicorns. Considering how games have been played out on the wicket and with chances of disruptions later in the day we believe both teams would prefer to bowl first.
Weather Report
We expect some disruptions in the game as there is a 40% chance of rain at the venue. Regardless of these disruptions we do expect the game to be played out but it's highly likely we might see some reductions in the overs especially in the second innings. The maximum temperature is expected to be 29C and minimum is expected to be 21C.

MI New York vs Washington Freedom Head to Head
As this is the inaugural season, we do not have historic data for both teams. This would be the first head to head game between the teams.
MI New York vs Washington Freedom Betting Odds
MI New York to score more sixes than Washington Freedom
When you see a game which is played by the team which is the worst in regards to clearing the rope you know this is a great opportunity to make some financial gains. Washington Freedom has been abysmal in regards to hitting sixes in the game as they have bagged just 15 sixes in four games thus far averaging 3.75 sixes in the tournament which is very underwhelming in T20 format. On the other hand, MI New York even with all the struggles have managed to hit 23 sixes in three games averaging 7.66 sixes a game which is much higher than their opponent in the upcoming fixture. We believe this is a great tip for you to act upon.
MI New York vs Washington Freedom Top Team Batters
Tim David to be MI New York’s top batter
Tim David has been the most consistent batter for MI New York this term. In three games David has scored 53, 48 and 24 and with 125 runs is the leading run scorer for the New York outfit which makes him our top pick for the game.
Andries Gous to be Washington Freedom’s top batter
Even though Matthew Short has been the leading run scorer for Washington Freedom we would still back Andries Gous in this game. Gous has been Mr Consistent for his team scoring 23, 28, 7 and 40 so far this season. We believe Gous would come good once again against MI New York and would remain our top pick for the game.
MI New York vs Washington Freedom Top Team Bowlers
Kagiso Rabada to be MI New York’s top bowler
We are going to stick with Kagiso Rabada as the top bowler for MI New York. Once again in the last outing Rabada was brilliant as he ended up with 2/30 against Texas Super Kings and with six wickets is tied with Trent Boult as the leading wicket taker for New York outfit.
Saurabh Netravalkar to be Washington Freedom’s top bowler
We saw one of the great bowling spells in T20 format in the last game against San Francisco Unicorns as Saurabh Netravalkar ended up with bowling figures of 6/9 as they toppled San Francisco to mere 103. With eight wickets he is the leading wicket taker for Washington Freedom and our top pick for the upcoming game.
Our Prediction
Favorites to win: MI New York
MI New York head into this tie after a week’s break which could do wonders for them as they head into final two games knowing anything other than maximum points could make things very tricky for the New York outfit. In the last game, MI New York failed to chase down the target of 154 which was set by Texas Super Kings as they lost the game by 17 runs and registered their second defeat in three games in the tournament.
Washington Freedom has had a solid campaign so far. After opening day defeat to Seattle Orcas, the Washington outfit went on a winning run and registered three wins in as many games as they became the second team to qualify for the playoffs in the inaugural tournament. In the last outing, Washington Freedom bowlers did all the talking as they managed to defend a sub-par score of 133 and won the game by 30 runs.
Surprisingly bookmakers have gone with MI New York in the game and have tagged them as heavy favourites giving them odds as low as 1.68. We cannot come up with one reason to back the New York outfit apart from the fact Washington Freedom has nothing to play for which is down to their superiority thus far. We reckon you should go with the underdogs on this one as there is no valid explanation why MI New York are favourites in the game.
- MI New York to win @ 1.68 (PariMatch)
- Washington Freedom to win @ 2.11 (PariMatch)
