Washington Freedom vs San Francisco Unicorns Predictions

This is the big match of the season. The two top sides are guaranteed their top two placings. The Unicorns can draw level on points with a win, but they would need a 60 to 80-run victory over the Freedom to move top of the table. The Freedom have won five of their six matches (one match rained-off) and look hot favourites to win this match.

Washington Freedom’s Travis Head has scored 32*, 54, 54 & 53 in his last 5 innings.
Washington Freedom’s Steven Smith has scored 26*, 42* & 57 in his last 5 innings.
San Francisco Unicorns’ Fin Allen hit six sixes in his 77 off 30 balls against the Orcas.
San Francisco Unicorns’ Matthew Short has scored 58, 33, 56 & 19 in his last 5 innings.

Head-to-Head

Last season the Freedom beat the Unicorns by 30 runs in their League clash.

Washington Freedom Form

Washington Freedom made it four wins in a row when they beat the Super Kings by 42 runs.

The Freedom posted a phenomenal 206/5 on the back of half-centuries from the opening pair of Travis Head (53 off 22 balls) and Steven Smith (57 off 40 balls).

Faf du Plessis (55 off 32, balls) got the Super Kings off to a flying start, but with Calvin Savage (35 off 23 balls) the only other batter to pass 20, their chase fell flat. They were bowled out for 164 off the second last ball of their innings.

There are no injury reports from the Washington Freedom squad.

San Francisco Unicorns Form

The Freedom made it three wins in a row when they beat the Orcas by six wickets.

Joburg-born Carmi le Roux (2/14) knocked over both Orcas openers in the first three balls, but they recovered to post 152/7 off their 20 overs,

Finn Allen (77 off 30 balls, with eight sixes and six sixes) powered the Unicorns to a six-wicket win with more than five overs to spare.
