Washington Freedom vs Los Angeles Knight Riders Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
Sunil Narine had a dismal campaign last season as in five games he scored 53 runs with an average of 13.25 which is pretty low for a top order batsman. Narine’s struggles have continued this season and he has scored 13 runs in three matches which makes us believe he would struggle in the upcoming game.
Another important reason for the Los Angeles Knight Riders struggle in this campaign has been the inability to get a good start in games. LA Knight Riders have lost early wickets in all three games thus far and have scored 38, 42 and 40 in powerplay which makes us believe they would struggle to score well in the first six overs.
