Los Angeles Knight Riders vs San Francisco Unicorns Preview:
Los Angeles Knight Riders( LAKR ) is set to face San Francisco Unicorns( SF ) in their 30th match during the Major League Cricket 2025. This match is scheduled to take place at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground, Lauderhill on Sunday, July 06.
Los Angeles Knight Riders have had a season to forget, managing just one win from eight matches and sitting firmly at the bottom of the table. With five straight losses, they’ve officially bowed out of the tournament.
Nothing seems to have clicked for them. The batting has looked out of sync, and the bowling has failed to create any real pressure.
Unmukt Chand has been one of the few positives, scoring 302 runs in nine matches at an average of 37.75 and a strike rate of 125. Saif Badar and Andre Fletcher had a few decent starts but couldn’t convert them into anything substantial.
Sherfane Rutherford did turn heads with a blistering 86 off 44 balls against MI, but he’s struggled for consistency. If LA want to finish on a high, he’ll need to step up again.
On the bowling front, Shadley van Schalkwyk has taken 12 wickets but has gone at an expensive 10.08 runs per over. Andre Russell and Jason Holder have 17 wickets between them but have also leaked plenty. Sunil Narine has kept things tight but hasn’t picked up enough wickets to make a big impact.
Meanwhile, San Francisco Unicorns are soaring at the other end of the table with seven wins from nine matches. Their latest victory—a thrilling one-run win over the Texas Super Kings—was a perfect bounce-back after two defeats and has given them a fresh boost of confidence.
Their batting lineup has fired all season. Skipper Matthew Short has been in sublime form, racking up 353 runs in just six innings at a strike rate of 170, including four fifties in his last five games.
Finn Allen has also made a huge impact with 329 runs from eight games at a jaw-dropping strike rate of 225.4, while Jake Fraser-McGurk has chipped in with 271 runs, striking at 176 and keeping the pressure on bowlers.
In the bowling department, Haris Rauf has been clutch in the big moments, picking up 17 wickets while maintaining control at just over 9 runs an over. Xavier Bartlett and Romario Shepherd have also been reliable, combining for 24 wickets and providing solid support.
