THE LOWDOWN
LOS ANGELES KNIGHT RIDERS
Los Angeles Knight Riders will need to reset and go again after an opening night thrashing at the hands of Texas Super Kings. They are now already playing catch up and in such a short tournament, this is less than ideal for them. However, LA can take heart from the performance of a Knight Riders stalwart in Andre Russell. The West Indian all-rounder smashed a quick half-century in a defiant attempt to lead a victory charge with his side in deep trouble chasing 182. Eventually though, his side succumbed to 112 all out and a better all-round showing is required this time round.
MI NEW YORK
MI New York will have enjoyed a full day of rest following their first Major League Cricket fixture against San Francisco Unicorns and now they get set to face LAKR in a battle between two major IPL originated franchises, who are establishing footprints across the world in T20 cricket. Kagiso Rabada and Trent Boult will be confident of putting their opponents under serious pressure with the ball, whilst Kieron Pollard, Nicholas Pooran, Tim David and David Wiese bring substantial batting firepower in required. Rotation could well come into play with such an array of overseas talent to choose from.
THE PREDICTION
When taking into account the resources at MI New York’s disposal, combined with just how poor Los Angeles Knight Riders looked against Texas Super Kings, it doesn’t bode well for Sunil Narine’s men here. It would be no surprise to see the LA batters struggle once again in face of world class T20 bowling and runs certainly shouldn’t in an issue for MI New York down the order. Back the boys from the ‘Big Apple’ to feast on the Knight Riders and pick up victory in this one.
BETTING TIP: MI NEW YORK TO WIN
