WF vs TSK, MLC 2024: Players to watch out

Netravalkar bowled a splendid spell against MINY providing us with timely breakthroughs to restrict the opposition. He was rightly awarded Player of the Match for his 3/24 in four overs.

Smith took the attack to the opposition targeting MINY’s pace spearhead Anrich Nortje in the powerplay, during the chase. He smashed two sixes and two fours to plunder 22 runs in Nortje’s first over. That helped us to be ahead of the par score when the game was stopped due to rain.

Both Netravalkar and Smith’s performance in our opener was encouraging and will help us put a strong performance ahead in the season.

Marco Jansen and Akeal Hosein were instrumental in our victory against the Texas Super Kings last season. Both left-armers bowled tight spells picking up two wickets each to scuttle TSK’s chase in the earlier stages. They are the other players to watch out for.

 

Washington Freedom squad: Steven Smith (c), Akhilesh Reddy Bodugum, Jack Edwards, Andries Gous, Travis Head, Lahiru Milantha, Mukhtar Ahmed, Justin Dill, Ian Holland, Marco Jansen, Glenn Maxwell, Obus Pienaar, Rachin Ravindra, Amila Aponso, Lockie Ferguson, Akeal Hosein, Saurabh Netravalkar, Andrew Tye, Yasir Mohammad
