Following a dreadful start in the ongoing Major League Cricket 2023, Los Angles Knight Riders will be hoping to register their first win in history when they challenge San Francisco Unicorns on July 19 at Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas. Under the leadership of Sunil Narine, the Knight Riders failed to win either of their matches and thus, there’s tremendous pressure on them at the moment. Notably, in the last match, the team was bundled out for 50 runs and thus, they need to figure out things immediately to get into winning ways.

When it comes to the Unicorns, they defeated MI New York in the first match but suffered a 35-run defeat in the second match against Seattle Orcas. They have a brilliant team with many power hitters in the mix and thus, the team would back themselves to get the job done against the Los Angeles-based side. Bowling is one such area that the team will be hoping to get better at.
