MI New York will lock horns with Washington Freedom in the 13th match of the Major League Cricket (MLC) 2023 at Church Street Park, Morrisville, on Monday, July 24. 

MI New York has faced a lacklustre season in the MLC 2023 tournament, with only one victory in three matches. They are currently placed second to last on the points table. 

Their confidence might have taken a hit following a 17-run defeat to the Texas Super Kings in their most recent fixture, but they must be determined to turn things around in this game, given the fierce competition for the play-offs. 

On the other hand, Washington Freedom has been enjoying a solid season, securing victories in three out of their four matches played thus far in the tournament, with their sole defeat coming at the hands of Seattle Orcas, the table toppers.

They are coming into this game on the back of a thumping 30-run victory over San Francisco Unicorns and currently hold the second position on the points table. They will be eager to secure a win in this game to claim the top spot.

Pitch Report 

The pitch at this venue has witnessed two consecutive low-scoring games in the last couple of matches, and we expect another low-scoring contest here on Monday.
