The Unicorns are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their lineup.

Washington Freedom Form

After losing their first game, the Unicorns have won two matches on the bounce, with their last game also seeing them beat the Knight Riders.

The Knight Riders could only manage 175/7 off their 20 overs, thanks to Freedom skipper Moises Henriques’ incredibly tight bowling (3/26).

The Freedom raced to victory with six wickets and 11 balls to spare, thanks to a quick start from openers Matthew Short (43) and Andries Gous (40).

Washington Freedom News

The Freedom batters are starting to give their strong bowling line-up good support, but they will still be hoping for more runs from Ahmed and Phillips.

Verdict

San Francisco Unicorns v Washington Freedom

I am backing San Francisco Unicorns to win. I am also backing Corey Anderson to top score for San Francisco Unicorns.

Matthew Short is a good bet to top score for the Washington Freedom.
