Pre-Match Analysis:

Skipper Steven Smith’s attacking innings of 46* from 28 balls against MI New York handed Washington Freedom a winning start as they were ahead of DLS par score by 4 runs when the rain interrupted the play at 7.4 overs. Bowlers should get much of the credit for restricting defending champions to 154 on the board. Saurabh Netravalkar and Justin Dill inflicted more damage, picking up 3 wickets apiece. Smith's captaincy was on point as the Australian made clever bowling changes and set the right field. Travis Head’s MLC debut didn’t go well as he was dismissed for a one-handed stunner from Nicholas Pooran for just one. They felt extremely satisfied after collecting crucial points first up and eager to carry forward the same for the rest of the tournament.

Texas Super Kings were going strongly en route to their victory against Los Angeles Knight Riders but crumbled from 3 for 102 to 8 for 120 and eventually fell short of the target by 12 runs. Bowlers produced a reasonable show to keep Knight Riders for a score of 162 which was slightly 10 runs more than that of the actual score. Zia-ul-Haq, Aaron Hardie, and Marcus Stoinis took two wickets each. Apart from Devon Conway’s 53 and Calvin Salvage’s 18-ball 29* run knock, the rest of the batters didn’t make any notable contributions and in the end, they made 150 for 8 in 20 overs. They are slow starters and hopeful of getting their rhythm back from this match.
