Match Preview

As we cross the halfway in the current season of Major League Cricket, we are seeing some separation between the teams on the points table. Washington Freedom is comfortably placed in third place and is only a couple of wins away from booking a spot in the playoffs.

On the other hand, the Los Angeles Knight Riders are struggling a bit and are trailing the top 3 by 6 points. They do have the same number of points as the 4th-placed MI New York but their NRR is the worst among all teams.

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

We are expecting a good batting surface for this match where the team batting first will look to score at least 200 runs to give the bowlers something to work with. The surface does seem to have dried out a bit over the last couple of days and the spinners can aim for the rough spots to get some turn.

The weather will be cloudy and there might be light rain during the day.

LAKR vs WF Dream11 Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

Unmukt Chand is the leading run-scorer for the Los Angeles Knight Riders and is the obvious choice here. We are also selecting Andries Gous after his half-century in the previous match.

Batters

We are selecting only Glenn Maxwell from this category as the others have failed to get going.

All Rounders

Both teams have some quality all-rounders and we are selecting Mitchell Owen, Andre Russell, Rachin Ravindra, Jack Edwards, Sunil Narine, and Ian Holland.

Bowlers

Since the pitch at Dallas has been favorable for the spinners, we are picking up Shadley van Schalkwyk and Saurabh Netravalkar.

LAKR vs WF Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

Captain

We are selecting Mitchell Owen as the captain of our team. He is the leading run-scorer as well as the leading wicket-taker for Washington this year and is in good form.

Vice-Captain

Glenn Maxwell has played a couple of good knocks this season. His ability to play the big shots makes him a good candidate for vice-captain.
