Washington Freedom vs Los Angeles Knight Riders prediction

With the Major League Cricket table so tight and teams bunched together, every match is important and this one is no different. Washington Freedom are on eight points but their negative net-run-rate currently counts against them which makes this is a big game from their perspective against an LAKR side two points below them.

But Washington are gaining momentum following back-to-back wins leading into their clash with the Knight Riders and Steve Smith has played a big role. The Aussie star has racked up 96 runs across his side’s last two games and backing him to accrue 30+ runs once again this time around has to be favoured, regardless of the final outcome.
