MI New York – Team Preview
MI New York, led by Nicholas Pooran, have had a disappointing MLC 2025 so far. With only a couple of wins under their belt, their inconsistent middle order and underperforming bowlers have been a concern. Pooran and Quinton de Kock are the two pillars at the top. If they fire together, MI New York can put up a daunting score.
The middle order has been underwhelming with Monank Patel, Tajinder Dhillon, and Kieron Pollard struggling to find rhythm. Lower down, George Linde and Michael Bracewell add firepower and spin options. Bowling remains a worry — Trent Boult is not in his usual rhythm and Ehsan Adil has leaked runs under pressure.
Still, the team boasts experience and match-winners who can turn the game around on their day.
Los Angeles Knight Riders – Team Preview
LA Knight Riders have shown grit in patches but consistency continues to be elusive. Jason Holder’s men have only managed one win so far, and come into this must-win clash on the back of a five-wicket loss to the Seattle Orcas.
The top order will rely on Andre Fletcher and Unmukt Chand for a solid start. Russell, Rutherford, and Powell add explosive firepower in the middle, but have struggled for game time and timing. Their real Achilles’ heel, however, lies in bowling.
Ali Khan and Holder must deliver up front while Andre Russell and Shadley van Schalkwyk will have to be tight in the middle overs. Tanveer Sangha, the lone spinner, will play a key role on a surface that can offer turn in the second half.

Favourite Team Today – MI New York
