MI New York vs Los Angeles Knight Riders Predictions

MI New York have hit form at the right time, and can eliminate the Knight Riders if they beat them in this match. I am backing MI New York to win as their well-balanced squad will be tough to beat if they can bring their A-game.

MI New York’s Nicholas Pooran scored 62 off 47 balls against the Knight Riders.
MI New York’s Monank Patel has scored 32, 60, 20 & 56 in his last 5 innings.
Los Angeles Knight Riders’ Sherfane Rutherford has scored 20*, 20 & 86 in his last five innings.
Los Angeles Knight Riders’ Unmukt Chand has scored 86*, 30 & 41 in his last 5 innings.

MI New York have won both of their previous two matches against the Knight Riders.

MI New York Form

MI New York ended their four-match losing streak by beating the Knight Riders by eight wickets.

Trent Boult (4/17, econ 4.25 ball) reduced the Knight Riders to 29/3. They recovered to post 154/8 off their 20 overs.

Monank Patel (56 off 44 balls) and Nicholas Pooran (62 off 47 balls) powered MI New York to an eight-wicket win with 13 balls in hand.

MI New York Team News

MI New York’s batters and bowlers are all in good form and they are unlikely to make any changes to their team for the second match of their double-header against MI New York.

Los Angeles Knight Riders Form

The Knight Riders suffered their fourth defeat in four matches when they lost to MI New York by eight wickets.

Sherfane Rutherford (86 off 44 balls) top-scored as the Knight Riders struggled to 154/8 off their 20 overs, with Andre Russell’s 15 the second-highest score of the innings.

Sunil Narine (1/26, econ 6.50) struck early but it wasn’t enough to make a game of it, as New York strolled to the win with more than two overs to spare.

Los Angeles Knight Riders Team News

The Knight Riders have to win both of their remaining games to have a hope of making the playoffs so they are likely to throw everything at MI New York. It promises to be a match filled with sixes.

Verdict

MI New York v Los Angeles Knight Riders

I am backing MI New York to win. I am also backing Nicholas Pooran to top score for MI New York.

Sherfane Rutherford is a good bet to top score for the Los Angeles Knight Riders.
