Match Preview

The Seattle Orcas will take on the Los Angeles Knight Riders in a bottom-of-the-table clash this weekend. This game is quite important for both teams as the loser would have lost 4 consecutive losses. As a result, it will be an uphill task for them to then recover and qualify for the playoffs.

That said, both sides have some quality players playing for them and as they are desperate for a victory, we can expect a close and exciting contest.

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

We are expecting a balanced pitch for this match. The new ball does move around a bit as there is some grass on the surface. However, since this match will be played in the afternoon, the surface is expected to dry out quickly and will get better to bat on. The weather is expected to remain warm and sunny with no chance of rain.

SO vs LAKR Dream11 Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

Heinrich Klaasen is the top pick here. While not in the best of forms, he has the ability to strike the ball quite a long distance and can play an important knock. We are also selecting Unmukt Chand as he is the leading run-scorer for Los Angeles.

Batters

While both teams have some quality batsmen, none of them have been able to perform well so far. We are therefore selecting only David Warner and Rovman Powell.

All Rounders

We are selecting quite a few all-rounders for this match. They include Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Kyle Mayers, Shadley van Schalkwyk, and Sikandar Raza.

Bowlers

Since a majority of our all-rounders are seamers, we are opting for two spinners, Tanvir Sangha and Waqar Salamkheil in this category.

SO vs LAKR Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

Captain

We are selecting Kyle Mayers as the captain of our team. He is the leading run-scorer for Seattle this year and also has a good strike rate. He is also a handy seamer who has picked up a wicket.

Vice-Captain

We are opting for another all-rounder, Sunil Narine as the vice-captain of the team. While not in the best of forms, Narine is one of the most miserly bowlers in the business and is also an excellent batsman.
