Texas Super Kings vs Washington Freedom Prediction & Betting Tips 2023

Even though we haven’t seen teams get a great opening stand so far in the tournament, we still believe with the quality that Texas Super Kings possess they would be able to get a better opening stand than Washington Freedom in the upcoming game. Devon Conway has already started the campaign with a half century and it's only a matter of time before Faf du Plessis joins the party and gets things going for the Texas based outfit.

Texas Super Kings vs Washington Freedom Match Toss Prediction

We believe weather would play a key role in the game. With chances of rain in the second innings we reckon whoever wins the toss would opt to bowl first as they would want to take advantage of D&L to turn the game in their favour.

Weather Report

We expect some disruptions in the game as there is a 50% 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 36C and minimum is expected to be 27C.

Texas Super Kings 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.

Texas Super Kings vs Washington Freedom Betting Odds

Texas Super Kings to score more sixes than Washington Freedom

Texas Super Kings in the opening day win managed to score an incredible 10 sixes in the game and only conceded six sixes. Washington Freedom on the other hand, failed to increase the tempo of the game and could only manage three sixes in the fixture and it could take more than a game to fix all the issues which were brutally highlighted after the first round of fixtures. We believe this game is a mismatch as both teams head into this game in contrasting form and results which makes this a very lucrative betting tip to earn some real money in a very quick time.

Texas Super Kings vs Washington Freedom Top Team Batters

Devon Conway to be Texas Super Kings’s top batter

Devon Conway had a perfect start to the campaign as he scored 55 off 37 balls and was one of the key factors as Texas demolished LA Knight Riders in the season opener. We believe he would come good once again and would be the top batter in the upcoming game.

Andries Gous to be Washington Freedom’s top batter

There wasn’t a single standout batter for Washington Freedom in the opening fixture which was one the reason why they started off with a loss in the tournament. Andries Gous had a great start as he scored 28 off 33 balls but could not capitalise on the start and eventually faltered. We believe Gous would come good in the upcoming game which makes him our top pick for the game.

Texas Super Kings vs Washington Freedom Top Team Bowlers

Mohammad Mohsin to be Texas Super Kings’s top bowler

Mohammad Mohsin was incredible in the inaugural game as he single handedly dismantled the LA Knight Riders batting lineup. His bowling figures of 4/8 makes him our top pick for the upcoming game.

Saurabh Netravalkar to be Washington Freedom’s top bowler

Similar to their batters they haven't been one standout bowler for Washington Freedom in the opening game. Even though Saurabh Netravalkar failed to take wickets in the first game but enough potential to state that he would come good for Washington Freedom in this tournament which makes him our top pick for the upcoming game.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Texas Super Kings

Texas Super Kings took on Los Angeles Knight Riders in the inaugural match of Major League Cricket. After losing their skipper Faf du Plessis for a duck in the second over, Devon Conway kept things together as he smashed 55 off 37 balls and posted a great score of 181. The Texas bowlers had a sensational game as the LA outfit was bowled out for 112 and Texas Super Kings won the season opener by 69 runs.

Washington Freedom started off the season with a loss against Seattle Orcas. At no point in the game Washington Freedom looked in control, Andries Gous, Glen Phillips, Henriques all got to a decent start but no one could capitalise on the start and eventually they innings was wrapped up with 144 runs on the scoreboard which turned out to be sub-par score as Seattle chased the target in the final over and won the game by five wickets.

Considering how comfortable Texas looked on the opening day in all departments, the bookmakers have coined Texas based outfit as firm favourites heading into this game. We believe you should side with the bookmakers on this game as Texas Super Kings are a far superior team on paper and have hit the ground running in every department since day one.
