Last updated: 27 Jun 2026

The Los Angeles Knight Riders are in strong form, having won both opening matches of the season with key performances from stars like Colin Munro and Sunil Narine.

While Knight Riders seek to maintain momentum, MI New York aim to turn their fortunes around. Colin Munro is a player to watch, backed to score over 28.5 runs in the next match.
