Los Angeles Knight Riders vs MI New York Predictions

The two sides are stuck together on two points at the bottom of the table ahead of their double-header. I’m backing MI New York because of their greater all-round strength of their squad.

MI New York’s Kieron Pollard has scored 26*, 34* & 70 in his last 5 innings.
MI New York’s Nicholas Pooran has scored 108* off 60 balls against the Seattle Orca.
Los Angeles Knight Riders’ Andre Russell has scored 30* & 65* in his last 2 innings.
Los Angeles Knight Riders’ Saif Badar has scored 32, 54 & 41 in his last 4 innings.

Head-to-Head

MI New York won the only previous match between the two sides by two wickets in last season’s group match. To make the playoffs one side will have to win all three of their remaining matches.

Los Angeles Knight Riders Form

The Knight Riders suffered their third defeat on the bounce when they lost to the Orcas by five wickets.

Andre Russell (65* off 39 balls) anchored the Knight Riders innings, which was given a vital late boost by Saif Badar (41 off 21 balls) and Rovman Powell (43* off 21 balls), with all three batters hitting four sixes.

Tanveer Sangha (2/39), Jason Holder (2/36) and Andre Russell (1/29, econ 7.25) all excelled with the ball but couldn’t prevent the Orcas picking off the winning runs with just a single ball to spare.

Los Angeles Knight Riders Team News

There are no injury reports from the Los Angeles Knight Riders squad.

MI New York Form

MI New York suffered their fourth defeat in four matches in going down to the Super Kings by 39 runs.

The Super Kings powered their way to 223/4 off their 20 overs. George Linde (2/42) made the early breakthroughs and Rushil Ugarkar (2/47) picked up the other wickets to fall.

MI New York were in trouble at 75/4 at the start of the 11th over, before Kieron Pollard (70 off 39 balls) and Michael Bracewell (26 off 20 balls) added 88 for the fifth wicket. The tail collapsed after them and they could only manage to reach 184/9 off their 20 overs.

MI New York Team News

Despite their string of defeats, the MI New York batters and bowlers have all been performing and they should have the strength to beat the Knight Riders.

Verdict

Los Angeles Knight Riders v MI New York

I am backing MI New York to win. I am also backing Kieron Pollard to top score for MI New York.

Andre Russell is a good bet to top score for the Los Angeles Knight Riders.
