WF vs LAKR Dream11 Prediction Today | Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report – MLC 2025

Match Preview

It has been an eventful start to the 3rd season of Major League Cricket and we have seen some interesting results. The defending champions faced a huge defeat in the season-opener but have since recovered to earn the first points of the season.

On the other side are the Los Angeles Knight Riders. They have a strong team, at least on paper, with two of the best all-rounders in T20 cricket. However, their start has been far from ideal, and are yet to win a match. However, these are still early days in the tournament and we expect them to bounce back.

Injuries & Illnesses

There are no reports of injuries from either side.

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

We are expecting another good batting surface for this match. Once the batsmen settle down, they can play the big shots but they will need to wait for the right delivery to do so. The bowlers need to vary their pace to keep the batsmen guessing. Bowling a bit back of the length will also help.

The weather is expected to be pleasant and clear with no chance of rain.

WF vs LAKR Dream11 Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

We are going with Unmukt Chand here, while not in the best of forms, he has got a couple of good starts.

Batters

Glenn Maxwell and Alex Hales are the two players we are selecting from this category. Other than them, no one has been able to make a meaningful contribution.

All Rounders

There are plenty of all-rounders to choose from in both teams. Some of the top choices include Rachin Ravindra, Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Mitchell Owen, and Ian Holland.

Bowlers

Since the seamers are likely to get more help compared to the slower bowlers, we are selecting Saurabh Netravalkar from this category.

WF vs LAKR Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

Captain

We are opting for Mitchell Owen as the captain of our team. He has done well with the bat and the ball and is a quality all-rounder.

Vice-Captain

Rachin Ravindra is the vice-captain of our team. He is the leading run-scorer for Washington and has been quite impressive at the top of the order. He is also a handy spinner.
