LAKR vs MINY Team Previews

Los Angeles Knight Riders

After failing to qualify for the playoffs in the first two seasons, the Los Angeles Knight Riders are having another poor run this year as well. With 6 losses in 7 games, they are placed at the bottom of the table and have the worst NRR among all teams. With just 3 more games to go, the Knight Riders must treat each of them as a virtual knockout.

The batting has been a big disappointment for the Knight Riders so far. Barring Unmukt Chand, none of the batsmen have been able to make much of an impact on the team’s fortune. Saif Badar, Rovman Powell, and Andre Fletcher have played a couple of good knocks but they have been few and far apart.

The all-rounders like Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, and Sherfane Rutherford have failed to provide the impetus needed during the death overs and that has had a negative impact. The bowlers have fared slightly better in comparison. Tanvir Sangha, Shadley van Schalkwyk, and Andre Russell have all picked up 9 wickets and the team will hope that they will continue bowling well.

However, more will be expected from the likes of Sunil Narine and Jason Holder.

MI New York

Just like their opponents, MI New York hasn’t fared well either. They have managed to win only one of their 7 matches so far and are coming here on the back of 4 consecutive losses.

Monank Patel and Quinton de Kock have done a good job at the top of the order and will most likely open the batting for New York in this match. Monank is the leading run-scorer for the team, while de Kock is second on the list.

Despite having some big names in the middle order including Nicholas Pooran, Kieron Pollard, and Michael Bracewell, the team has often struggled to get going in the middle overs. The form of Nicholas Pooran would have been particularly disappointing for the team as he is currently one of the best batsmen in the T20 format.

The bowling has been pretty ordinary, to say the least. Naveen ul-Haq and Trent Boult, who are the team’s best bowlers, have managed to pick only 15 wickets between them and have been expensive as well. In the spin department, Sunny Patel and Michael Bracewell have picked up 9 wickets between them.

LAKR vs MINY Toss Prediction

The team winning the toss will likely opt to bat first.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The pitch in Lauderhill is likely to be balanced. There is some grass and moisture under the surface, allowing the ball to skid and offer good pace and bounce. The batsmen will be able to play their shots, especially during the first half. However, as the match progresses, the surface tends to dry out, making it difficult to score runs. Anything over 170 will be tricky to chase.

The weather is likely to remain overcast and there is a chance of rain throughout the match.

LAKR vs MINY: Who Will Win?

The Los Angeles Knight Riders and MI New York have struggled throughout the season. We feel that New York could win here as they have a stronger batting unit and a couple of good seamers. The odds are a bit shorter than we would have liked but we suggest keeping faith with Nicholas Pooran and company!

Bet on MI New York to win this match.

LAKR vs MINY win percentage stands at 56% in favor of MINY.
