LAKR vs TSK Team Previews

Los Angeles Knight Riders

LAKR’s opening match was a disappointing start as they failed to chase down 220 against San Francisco Unicorns, folding for 187 despite a few decent contributions. Alex Hales (66) and Unmukt Chand (53) held the innings together briefly, but the middle and lower order collapsed under pressure.

The bowling was largely ineffective, barring Sunil Narine’s economical spell. Ali Khan and van Schalkwyk struggled for control at the death, leaking runs heavily. The Knight Riders are heavily reliant on their senior overseas players — Narine, Russell, and Hales — to turn things around.

They may consider bringing in one of Spencer Johnson or Corne Dry to bolster their bowling lineup.

Los Angeles Knight Riders Expected Playing 11

Sunil Narine (C), Alex Hales, Andre Fletcher, Unmukt Chand (WK), Nitish Kumar, Saif Badar, Andre Russell, Shadley van Schalkwyk, Matthew Tromp, Ali Khan, Tanveer Sangha

Texas Super Kings

TSK edged out MI New York in a thrilling 3-run win in their first match, showing excellent composure under pressure. Devon Conway (65) anchored the innings while Daryl Mitchell (87) provided the acceleration. Even though the middle order faltered a bit, a late flourish from Calvin Savage pushed them to 185.

Adam Milne was the standout with the ball, ably supported by Noor Ahmad and Mohsin. TSK’s attack offers both pace and spin variety, which could again be the difference against LAKR’s batting-heavy approach.

Their settled top-order and reliable bowling attack make them a difficult team to beat.

Texas Super Kings Expected Playing 11

Faf du Plessis (C), Devon Conway (WK), Daryl Mitchell, Saiteja Mukkamalla, Milind Kumar, Donovan Ferreira, Calvin Savage, Mohammad Mohsin, Adam Milne, Noor Ahmad, Zia-ul-Haq
