Los Angeles Knight Riders vs San Francisco Unicorns prediction

Los Angeles Knight Riders are a team with the names you would expect from a Knight Riders franchise. The likes of Andre Russell and Sunil Narine will be back in the fold whilst Alex Hales hopes to provide top order pop. But one can’t help but feel that this Knight Riders core may have had its day and has been overtake at this point. San Francisco Unicorns will hope to show that here.

The top order of the Unicorns should see them pile up runs early on and Haris Rauf provides the necessary speed with the ball. Former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin provides both mystery and experience with his bowling and could also have a big role to play. Therefore, consider backing San Francisco.
