Team Previews
MI New York Preview
MI New York have managed just two wins in eight matches, sitting at 5th on the table. The positive? They comfortably beat the Knight Riders in the reverse fixture.
Nicholas Pooran is back in form, scoring an unbeaten 108 and a classy 62*, making him MI’s biggest threat. Monank Patel (349 runs) and Quinton de Kock (257 runs) form a stable top order, while the middle-order experience of Pollard and Bracewell provides flexibility and power.
Bowling remains their weakness. Trent Boult (11 wickets) is their leader but lacks support. Ehsan Adil and Sunny Patel have been expensive, often leaking runs in the death overs.
Probable XI (MI NY):
Quinton de Kock (wk), Monank Patel, Nicholas Pooran (c), Tajinder Dhillon, Kieron Pollard, Michael Bracewell, George Linde, Nosthush Kenjige, Trent Boult, Ehsan Adil, Naveen-ul-Haq
Los Angeles Knight Riders Preview
Sitting last with 7 losses in 8 matches, Los Angeles Knight Riders are desperate to salvage some pride.
Unmukt Chand (243 runs) and Sherfane Rutherford (86 off 44 in the last game) are their batting mainstays. The rest of the order lacks form and firepower. Andre Fletcher and Saif Badar have shown glimpses but haven’t converted starts.
Bowling has been poor overall. Andre Russell has taken 10 wickets but with a high economy. Sunil Narine has been economical but not threatening enough. Their bowlers, including Holder and van Schalkwyk, have struggled for rhythm.
Probable XI (LAKR):
Unmukt Chand (wk), Andre Fletcher, Saif Badar, Sherfane Rutherford, Rovman Powell, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Jason Holder (c), Shadley van Schalkwyk, Ali Khan, Matthew Tromp

Favourite Team Today – MI New York (Why?)
Despite poor results, MI New York have far more in-form players than LAKR. Pooran’s return to form, combined with reliable top-order batters like Monank Patel and de Kock, gives MI a strong edge. With Trent Boult leading their bowling and Pollard-Bracewell as experienced finishers, MI has the balance and momentum to seal another win. Their previous win over LAKR adds to their confidence, making them favourites to win this clash.
