LA Knight Riders are ready to take on Seattle Oracs in match no. 18 of Major League Cricket (MLC) 2025. LA Knight Riders are placed in the last position in the league table and need to win the match to get two points. In the last game, the team was defeated by 113 runs as Washington Freedom restricted them to 95 runs. The team needs to change their gear quickly to stay in the qualification.
Meanwhile, Seattle Orcas are also having a poor run this season. The team is yet to win a game in MLC 2025. However, both teams want to open their account with a win, and this game is important for both.
Top Order:

Alex Hales and Sunil Narine will start the batting attack for the LA Knight Riders. Even though in the last game both openers were removed on a duck, in an upcoming game, they will look to change things. Both openers can play their game freely and get runs in power play. To support them, Unmukt Chand comes to bat at the no.3 spot. His role is to anchor the innings and get runs on the scoreboard.
Middle Order:

Nitish Kumar, Saif Badar, and Rovman Powell are strong pillars of the batting order. Powell is a sensible batter and can take the game to the finish line. In the last three games, the middle order failed to give the team support and the important stage in the league started.
Lower-Middle Order:

LA Knight Riders will have more depth in batting as Jason Holder and Andre Russell come late to bat. Both all-rounders are known for their hard-hitting ability and can change the full game with their batting strokes. Both players help in bowling also.
Lower Order:

Shadley van Schalkwyk and Corne Dry are pacers in the team. In the last game, Corne Dry picked up two wickets. To give them support, Tanveer Sangha will be handling the spin department. The team will also use the expertise of Sunil Narine in bowling.
