Preview

On July 21, at Morrisville's Church Street Park, the Los Angeles Knight Riders (LAKR) and Washington Freedom (WAF) are set to face each other in the league's ninth game. With three straight losses, LAKR have had the worst overall performance in this event. The Washington Freedom have won one out of two games and are just ahead of their rival in the rankings.

LAKR will try to recover in order to claim a moral victory. They have put themselves in those positions, which severely backfired at the conclusion of each game. Despite their bowlers taking an average of 7 wickets per game, one or two expensive spells from bowlers have offset their effort. For instance, Andre Russell's economy rate in this tournament is above 10, and, with the exception of the most recent game, their openers have combined to score just 30 runs in two games. With Jason Roy on the field and in great form, this team will want to hold onto wickets to secure their first victory.

Washington Freedom squared off against Texas Super Kings in their most recent game, and they posted an average total on a flat track that has provided great assistance to the batters. A magnificent knock from Matthew Short, who added 50% of the runs to the team's total, was awarded the Player of the Match. The bowlers fearlessly struck at regular intervals to break the formidable Texas' line-up for 50 runs for five wickets. A twist in the tale as Dwayne Bravo's tremendous effort took this to a last-over thriller that favoured Washington by a margin of six runs.
