Date | July 21, 2023 |
Time | 3:00 AM IST, 9:30 PM GMT, 5:30 PM Local Time |
Venue | Church Street Park, Morrisville |
Washington Freedom have played two matches in MLC, winning one and losing one. After losing to Seattle Orcas by 5 wickets in the first match, they bounced back to beat Texas Super Kings by 6 runs in the previous outing.
Los Angeles Knight Riders, on the other hand, have had a horrible start. The team has played three games but are yet to register a win. With two games left, Knight Riders need to win all matches to stay in the race for the playoffs.
The pitch will be favourable for the batters and there will not be much help for the pacers. Spinners, however, can come in handy when the ball gets soft.
It will be a cloudy day with a 20 per chance of rain. The temperature will range between 34 and 24 degrees.
Matthew Short, Andries Gous (wk), Mukhtar Ahmed, Glenn Phillips, Moises Henriques (c), Obus Pienaar, Marco Jansen, Akeal Hosein, Dane Piedt, Anrich Nortje, Saurabh Netravalkar
Jason Roy, Unmukt Chand, Rilee Rossouw, Nitish Kumar, Jaskaran Malhotra (wk), Andre Russell, Sunil Narine (c), Corne Dry, Adam Zampa, Ali Khan, Spencer Johnson
Washington Freedom will not change their winning combination. Knight Riders have lost three matches, but they made changes in the previous game and should stick to the same 11 as well.
The teams have never played before so there are no head-to-head records.

Matthew Short played a magnificent innings of 80 against Texas Super Kings to take Freedom to 163-5. He would like to ride on this match-winning performance and do well in the next game as well.
Glenn Phillips has had two average outings but he is a destructive batter and a match-winner on his day. Phillips will be eager to make an impact against Knight Riders.
Marco Jansen is a very handy cricketer. He is a left-arm seamer so brings a variety in the Freedom attack and is a very good batter down the order. He picked up two wickets against Texas Super Kings and helped his team defend a low score.
Jason Roy returned to the Knight Riders team and played a whirlwind innings of 45 in 21 balls. Roy is a game-changer and would like to stay at the wicket much longer and lead his team to a win.
Adam Zampa picked 3 wickets in the last game and is a good pick given that batters see him as an easy target and often lose their wickets in order to fetch quick runs. Zampa is not an easy bowler to hit.
