Los Angeles Knight Riders
Los Angeles Knight Riders opened with a tight victory over the Texas Super Kings. Their campaign has been heavily derailed since then. They have conceded two heavy defeats in their two games after that which would have damaged their net run rate too.

Spencer Johnson will be useful with his left-arm angle coming across a predominantly right-handed San Francisco Unicorns top-order. The fast bowler took three wickets against the Unicorns in their previous meeting.
David Miller definitely does not lack in T20 experience, having played 490 T20 matches in his T20 career. He will give the impetus in the middle-order that the Los Angeles Knight Riders need. He did just that with 44 not out off 22 against Seattle Orcas.
