WAS vs NY: Pitch Report
Grand Prairie Stadium has been a pretty good venue for T20 games, which offer enough for the bowlers to exploit. But batters can hit through the line because of the bounce and make use of shorter boundaries on the square. In the final, chasing a target can be difficult sometimes, which is why batting first can be a good option.

Dream11 Prediction: The two teams finished the league stage with contrasting momentum, but things will be different in the final. One small error can hurt the chances. Both sides have won one title each, and they know how to perform under pressure in big matches.
But the current momentum is with Washington Freedom, and they have beaten MI New York twice already this season. They will be confident heading into this game. But MINY have some players who know how to perform in big matches, which is why we believe they have a chance and can win this game.
