NY vs WAS Fantasy Cricket Tips

MI New York Heavy Fantasy XI

• Nicholas Pooran has so far been ‘The Batter’ for MI New York. His form has been crucial to MINY’s batting performance in the tournament. Besides Pooran, Monank Patel could also be a good pick. 
• Rashid Khan delivered with both the bat and the ball in the last game. Given his current all-round form, Rashid will be one of the safest picks for the fantasy contests. 
• Trent Boult is always a lethal customer with the new ball and will be a good pick from the MINY bowling. 

Washington Freedom Heavy Fantasy XI

• Steve Smith has been in brilliant form so far in the tournament. The Aussie maverick has been at his aggressive best and looks like one of the best choices for the fantasy contests. Besides Smith, Travis Head looked in good touch and could be a crucial pick for the game. 
• Saurabh Netravalkar and Lockie Ferguson have been the prime wicket-takers for the Washington Freedom in the tournament. These two bowlers will be the must-picks from Freedom’s bowling department. 

NY vs WAS Winner Prediction

While Washington Freedom have been the only undefeated side in the tournament, MI New York have struggled with their form and rhythm in the tournament. It is high time that New York turned their campaign around, but given the current form of the players and the quality of cricket the two teams are playing, Freedom will start this game as the favourites.
