THE LOWDOWN
LOS ANGELES KNIGHT RIDERS
Los Angeles Knight Riders featured in their most recent Major League Cricket match prior to this game against Washington Freedom and it remains to be seen whether this will prove a negative, especially from a physical point of view. However, with this being their penultimate group fixture, they desperate need not only a victory, but a considerable one in order to give their net-run-rate a significant boost. Lots will depend on their overseas players, who need to step up to the plate in this must-win encounter.
WASHINGTON FREEDOM
With one win so far across their two matches played, Washington Freedom’s hopes of play-off qualification lie firmly in the balance with three games left to play, starting here in Morrisville. They’ve given themselves a great platform to kick on though, having taken a big scalp in beating Texas Super Kings on their home turf. In a thrilling contest that saw Dwayne Bravo threaten to break Washington hearts, the Freedom held on for a vital six-run win, Australian Matt Short’s 80 from 50 balls proving crucial.
THE PREDICTION
Whilst Washington Freedom haven’t quite hit the heights that other teams have managed with the bat, they face in Los Angeles Knight Riders, arguably the weakest batting unit across the tournament. The Freedom’s bowling attack managed to hold their nerve despite Bravo’s best efforts for TSK and that will have given them significant confidence moving forward. With a quality all-round bowling attack and experienced captain, consider backing Washington Freedom to get the better of the Knight Riders in this, the first Major League Cricket match to take place outside of Texas.
BETTING TIP: WASHINGTON FREEDOM TO WIN
