Los Angeles Knight Riders (LAKR) and MI New York (MINY) will face each other in the 27th match of Major League Cricket (MLC) 2025. But this match is not just for the points table, but also a fight for pride and to avoid the last position.
Both teams have won only one match each so far this season, and both have lost three matches in a row. That is, whichever team loses this match, it is most likely to be at the bottom of the table.
Match Date: 6 July 2025, Sunday
Time: 12:30 am (IST)
Venue: Broward County Stadium, Lauderhill, Florida
Live Streaming: JioHotstar
TV Broadcast: Star Sports Network
Performance so far
Los Angeles Knight Riders:
LAKR’s performance has been very poor for the third year as well. The team has big names like Andre Russell, Sunil Narine and Jason Holder, but the results are missing on the field. Each time, the same old problems of the team have come to the fore lack of consistency in batting and lack of edge in bowling.
MI New York:
MINY has a better team on paper players like Quinton de Kock, Nicholas Pooran, Kieron Pollard. But the results did not show the fire that was expected from this team of the Ambani family. Victory in this match is not just a question of points for them, but also of saving the team’s reputation.
Possible result – who will Win?
Based on form and squad balance, MI New York has a slight edge thanks to their bowling strength. But if Russell or Holder fires, LAKR can surprise.
Possible winner: MI New York
