Spinners may struggle to find grip due to the expected weather conditions. With pacers ruling the ground this tournament, expect a fast track where batters might find it difficult to hold on to their ground in front of fiery pace attacks.
The chasing teams have won two out of the three matches played at the Broward County Stadium in Lauderhill in MLC so far. Hence, looking at the trend, the toss-winning captain would like to bowl first.WAS vs SEA MLC 2025 Match 26: Dream11 Team 1 [Source: @Dream11 App]
