SFU vs WAF Match Prediction & Analysis
In the clash of the table-toppers at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas, some of the biggest stars of T20 cricket will be up against each other. Pat Cummins has been wicketless in the last two games for the Unicorns. He will be eager to find wickets and improve his economy.
Travis Head and Steve Smith have been in the best form in the Washington Freedom top order. They deliver consistently at the top and will be the ones to watch out for.
Cummins and Carmi le Roux should be looking to get rid of these two early in the powerplay. It will be a huge challenge for the Unicorns to contain the flow of runs in the first 6 Overs.
Jasdeep Singh replaced Netravalkar and has picked up 6 wickets in two matches. Along with the other in-form bowlers like Marco Jansen, Lockie Ferguson, and Glenn Maxwell, Singh will be a highly impactful bowler for the Washington Freedom.

TEAMS PREVIEW
San Francisco Unicorns Preview
San Fransisco can finish as table-toppers if they win big here. They’ve got 9 points from 6 matches so far. With 3 consecutive wins, Unicorns are coming into this match with winning momentum.
However, their batting consistency isn’t up to the mark. And that can be a major concern as they lock horns with the best in the business. The opposition has almost every bowler in great touch delivering consistent breakthroughs.
As such, San Fransisco Unicorns should put their best foot forward when they bat. Finn Allen’s recent knock of 77 off 30 balls is a ray of hope for the Unicorns. Josh Inglis and Sherfane Rutherford also looked in fine touch in the middle order as San Fransisco chased down 156 runs in 14.2 Overs.
This comeback with the bat is crucial. In the previous outing, they had suffered a huge collapse losing 5 for 33 runs. Hassan Khan and Corey Anderson helped Unicorns finish with a 148-run total with an important partnership in the lower order.
Corey Anderson looks decent with the ball too. He’s finding breakthroughs now and then though he may not finish his full quota of 4 overs. Haris Rauf and Pat Cummins, two of the most experienced bowlers in the side are struggling to find wickets and have been a little expensive.
San Francisco Unicorns Predicted Playing XI:
Finn Allen, Matthew Short, Sanjay Krishnamurthi, Josh Inglis (wk), Sherfane Rutherford, Corey Anderson (c), Hassan Khan, Pat Cummins, Haris Rauf, Carmi le Roux, Brody Couch

Washington Freedom Preview
Washington Freedom are on a roll. They are unbeaten in the season and are coming into this match with some big wins in recent games. Their last two wins were by a margin of 42 and 94 runs. And before that, they chased down 130 runs in just 16 Overs with 8 wickets in hand.
After one small hiccup while chasing against the Seattle Orcas, the openers are back in form and are delivering consistently. Steve Smith and Travis Head are the key match-winners in this lineup.
Both scored a fifty each while batting first in their last outing at this venue. Andrie Gous and Glenn Maxwell are also in great touch in the middle order. Washington Freedom are no longer dependent on the opening batters.
There are other reliable players in the middle and lower order. In the bowling department, Jasdeep Singh was quick to find his rhythm after replacing Saurabh Netravalkar.
He’s picked up 6 wickets in the last two matches at an impressive economy. Glenn Maxwell and Lockie Ferguson are also among consistent wicket-takers while Rachin Ravindra has now ed the party.
Washington Freedom Predicted Playing XI:
Travis Head, Steven Smith (c), Andries Gous (wk), Rachin Ravindra, Glenn Maxwell, Obus Pienaar, Mukhtar Ahmed, Marco Jansen, Amila Aponso, Lockie Ferguson, Jasdeep Singh

Pace Bowling
Spin Bowling
Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas will be the venue for this match. It has a great pitch for batting where Washington Freedom’s openers have enjoyed scoring big in recent outings. There is plenty of help for the batters and spinners can also find some help from the surface. We reckon a 185-195 runs total in the 1st innings should be quite competitive.
Toss: To Bat
Though there is no clear edge for either batting first or second here, if the team batting first can get to a competitive total, there is a real chance of successfully defending it.
