Roy and Narine are at the crease. Roy is on strike. Marco Jansen will open the attack
Sunil Narine: We would have bowled. We will look to adapt. Just try to get a better power play and a better game. Every game we have different plans for batters. We have one change.
Steve Smith - We will bowl. Just want to chase later on. It is warm. Keen to chase. I don’t think we haven’t put the full game together and still are at top. Few batters looking to get out there. Nice for some guys to have some time in the middle. One change for us.
Lot of live green grass has gone away. Has been under covers for more than 48 hours. Back of a length balls will do well for the bowlers. All the captains have looked to bowl first here. — Scott Styris at Pitch Report

Washington Freedom have won the toss and have opted to field
Rains have played a part in most of the games at Morrisville but hopefully we will get a full game today. The outfield has taken a lot of beating but we all would hope that it would be good enough today.
14:46 Local Time, 18:46 GMT, 00:16 IST: Hello and welcome to game 11 of the MLC. The Washington Freedom side take on the Knight Riders today. The Freedom side are on the top of the table. They are yet to lose a game. One of their games was washed out. The Knight Riders have lost two games after winning their first game. They would want to get back to winning ways and today is their best chance to seek some redemption. Toss and sheets in a while.
