SF vs WAS Pitch Report

The pitch at the Grand Prairie Stadium has been good for batting in general. However, the wickets at the venue are tired by now, and we can see that with the spinners getting assistance from the track. As for the pacers, the bowlers who are looking to hit the deck and use their cutters and slower ones have been successful. Run-scoring has been difficult in the second innings; however, in the last couple of games, we have seen the team chasing the target winning the game.

Fantasy Value from the pitch report

  • Despite the result of the last two games, this wicket has looked better for batting in the first innings. Also, the top-order batters had the best conditions to play their full range of shots. So they will be the safer choices for the game. 
  • The spinners will get some assistance from the track throughout the match. As for pacers, the ones who look to make the most of the surface with their slowers and cutters will reap the benefits from this track.


SF vs WAS Fantasy Cricket Tips

San Francisco Unicorns heavy fantasy XI

  • Finn Allen and Matthew Short has been the mainstay of the Unicorns batting in the tournament. Keeping one or both of them in your team might be beneficial.
  • Hassan Khan and Brody Couch could be good choices from the bowling of San Francisco. 
  • Pat Cummins has not yet impressed in the three games that he has played. However, he would be looking to give his best in this game before the start of the play-offs, which could be a rewarding choice.

Washington Freedom heavy fantasy XI

  • Steve Smith and Travis Head have been the prime run-scorers for this team. If you are backing the Freedom to win this game, you can select both of these players in your fantasy XI.
  • Saurabh Netravalkar is expected to be back for this game. He has been in brilliant form and is currently the highest wicket-taker in the tournament. If he plays, Netravalkar will be a safe choice for the fantasy contests.


SF vs WAS Winner Prediction

The Washington Freedom have been undefeated in the tournament so far. They would look to continue their dominance and will be the favourites to win the match at the start. However, the team batting first will have an advantage during the game.


SF vs WAS Top Player Picks

Matt Short has been in a good form in MLC 2024 [X]Matt Short has been in a good form in MLC 2024 [X]

Matt Short (SF)

  • MLC 2024 Stats: 170 Runs in 5 Matches
  • The Australian top-order batter has been in brilliant form in the tournament. Matt Short has not only been destructive but also has been consistent. Given his current run with the bat, Short will be one of the safer choices for the fantasy contests.

Finn Allen (SF)

  • MLC 2024 Stats: 186 Runs in 5 Matches
  • The Kiwi opener has been giving the Unicorns some blazing starts in MLC 2024. With the touch and rhythm that Finn Allen is in, he will be a key pick for the fantasy contests. 

Steve Smith (WAS)

  • MLC 2024 Stats: 191 Runs in 6 Matches
  • The Australian superstar and the Freedom skipper, Steve Smith, has been in brilliant form in this tournament. The best part of his batting in MLC 2024 has been the way he has adjusted his gear as per the demand of the game. In his current T20 form, Smith will probably be the safest fantasy pick. 

Travis Head (WAS)

  • MLC 2024 Stats: 194 Runs in 6 Matches
  • The Aussie opener did not start the tournament on a great note. However, Travis Head has picked up his form in the last few games and is looking in great touch. With the way he has batted in the last two or three matches, there is no way you can ignore him for this game.


SF vs WAS Differential Picks

Pat Cummins (SF)

  • MLC 2024: 19 Runs and 1 Wicket in 3 Matches
  • The Australian ODI and Test skipper has not yet fired either with the bat or the ball in MLC 2024. So far, Pat Cummins has played only three games and has struggled to get the right rhythm going. However, he can be a game-changer on any given day, and that makes him a potentially rewarding pick for the match.

Glen Maxwell (WAS)

  • MLC 2024 Stats: 59 Runs and 9 Wickets in 6 Matches
  • The Australian all-rounder has been lacking batting form for the past few months. Although he has been looked in better touch in MLC 2024, a big knock is still to come from Glenn Maxwell. But he has contributed with the ball, and that makes his potential with the bat makes him a potentially rewarding choice for the game.


SF vs WAS Fantasy Expert Advice

Given how the wicket has behaved in the last few games and the form of the players in the two teams, a 2-3-3- or a 1-5-2-3 combination could be rewarding for the game.
