WF vs LAKR Team Previews

Washington Freedom

Washington faced a heavy defeat at the hands of San Francisco in their opening fixture. However, they managed to bounce back on Sunday as they defeated the Seattle Orcas to earn two points.

Mitchell Owen and Rachin Ravindra gave the team a solid start in the last match and will look to do the same in this match as well. Ravindra in particular appears to be in good form and is also the leading run-scorer for the team.

The middle order has some explosive batsmen like Glenn Maxwell, Glenn Phillips, Jack Edwards, and Andries Gous. If one of them stays till the end, Washington could post a big total. Washington boasts of one of the strongest seam attacks in the league that is led by Saurabh Netravalkar and Ian Holland.

The latter is the leading wicket-taker of the team with 5 wickets. In addition to the duo, Mitchell Owens and Jack Edwards have bowled well too, picking up 6 wickets between them. However, the team lacks a stable spin department.

Washington Freedom Expected Playing 11

Racin Ravindra, Mitchell Owen, Jack Edwards, Glenn Maxwell (C), Glenn Phillips, Andries Gous (WK), Obus Pienaar, Mukhtar Ahmed, Saurabh Netravalkar, Ian Holland, Abhishek Paradkar

Los Angeles Knight Riders

The Los Angeles Knight Riders are struggling at the moment and have lost both the matches they have played so far. They are placed 5th on the points table.

Alex Hales and Andre Fletcher are likely to open the batting for Los Angeles in this match. While both of them are good players, they haven’t been able to get going. The middle order lacks international talent and a lot will depend on how Unmukt Chand performs. He will be joined by Nitish Kumar, Saif Badar, and Matthew Tromp, none of whom have much experience.

There will also be added pressure on Andr Russell and Sunil Narine, both of whom are going through a lean patch with the bat and the ball. Shadley van Schalkwyk is the leading wicket-taker for the team with 4 wickets and will be joined by Ali Khan with the new ball.

Tanvir Sangha will join Sunil Narine in the spin attack.

WF vs LAKR Toss Prediction

4 of the last 6 matches played here were won while batting first while two were won while chasing. In 5 of those matches, the captain winning the toss opted to field first but we think that batting first might be a better option.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The pitch here has been good to bat on and has seen an average first-inning score of around 180. The ball comes nicely onto the bat and playing shots is easy, especially once the batsmen settle down. That said, the bowlers, especially the seamers, can expect some help, provided they vary their pace.

The weather will remain clear with temperatures under 20 degrees.
