MI New York and Washington Freedom Set to Clash in MLC 2025 Final

MI New York, who struggled early in the season, will face consistent Washington Freedom in the Major League Cricket 2025 final.

Nicholas Pooran and Kieron Pollard led MINY’s resurgence after losing six of their first seven matches. The team managed to reach playoffs and defeated San Francisco Unicorns and Texas Super Kings.

Washington Freedom – having lost star players like Steven Smith and Travis Head – has performed surprisingly well with eight wins from ten matches. They rely on young talents like Mitch Owen and Jack Edwards.

The teams have distinct characteristics:

• MINY relies on T20 stars like Pooran, Pollard, Trent Boult and Quinton de Kock
• Freedom succeeds with young and less experienced players
• MINY features promising youngsters like Tristan Luus and Rushil Ugarkar
• Freedom is strengthened by versatile players like Owen and Edwards

“We went to Miami and forgot about cricket. That was the best thing for us,” said Pollard commenting on his team’s turnaround.

The final match in Dallas faces rain threat with 60% chance at night. Pitch conditions are expected to favor the team batting second.
