TEAMS PREVIEW
San Francisco Unicorns Preview
San Francisco Unicorns kicked off their campaign in style, hammering the defending champs, Washington Freedo, by a huge 123-run margin. The batting was relentless, with Finn Allen tearing into the bowlers for a jaw-dropping 151 off just 51 balls. That alone set the tone for their total of 269 for 5.
Allen’s current form, combined with Tim Seifert’s presence at the top, gives the Unicorns a pair that can do real damage early on. They've delivered fast starts for New Zealand before, and if they click in the powerplay, another massive score could be on the cards.
Lower down, Sanjay Krishnamurthi and Hassan Khan give the lineup some cushion. They’re both capable of adding 20 or 30 on most days. Captain Corey Anderson, meanwhile, will look to close out innings with a few quick runs.
As for the bowling, there’s plenty to like. Haris Rauf adds serious pace and experience, while Liam Plunkett and Carmi le Roux offer steady . All three got among the wickets in the opener, which is a good sign. Meanwhile, Hassan is just as valuable with the ball, as he showed in the season opener with figures of 3-32 in 3.1 overs.
San Francisco Unicorns Predicted Playing XI:
Finn Allen, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Tim Seifert (wk), Cooper Connolly, Sanjay Krishnamurthi, Corey Anderson (c), Hassan Khan, Liam Plunkett, Xavier Bartlett, Carmi le Roux, Haris Rauf
San Francisco Unicorns Key Players From Previous Game Of Major League Cricket, 2025
Los Angeles Knight Riders Preview
Los Angeles Knight Riders had a forgettable season last year, managing just two wins in seven matches and finishing near the bottom. With Jason Holder now leading the side, there’s a lot of work ahead if they want a turnaround.
Opener Jason Roy will be expected to set the tone at the top. He put up 163 runs in six innings last season, averaging 27.16 with a strike rate of 118.11.
Unmukt Chand and Nitish Kumar offer some balance through the middle, while Andre Russell and Rovman Powell will look to finish games with aggressive strokes in the back end.
The pace unit includes Anrich Nortje, Jason Holder, and Ali Khan. They'll need to be on point with their lengths, especially on a surface that tends to favor batters.
Sunil Narine could play a big part. He keeps things tight more often than not, and if he finds rhythm early, those overs could shift the game.
Los Angeles Knight Riders Predicted Playing XI:
Alex Hales, Sunil Narine, Unmukt Chand (wk), Sherfane Rutherford/ Rovman Powell, Nitish Kumar, Saif Badar/ Shadley van Schalkwyk, Andre Russell, Jason Holder (c), Anrich Nortje, Ali Khan, Karthik Gattepalli
PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The pitch at the Oakland Coliseum has proved to be an absolute belter. There’s hardly any seam movement for the pacers, and spinners won’t get much help either. Batters can just swing through the lin,e and the short boundaries will allow the ball to cross over for plenty of sixes.
The weather looks clear for game day, with no rain expected and comfortable conditions forecast.
SFU vs LAKR Pitch Report
The first match of MLC 2025 at Oakland Coliseum saw San Francisco Unicorns post a colossal 269-5 on the board and a massive victory. Expect another flat wicket, and on this short ground, the runs will flow aplenty. The team batting first will eye a total of around 230-240 to keep themselves ahead.
Toss: To Bat
The team winning the toss will look to bat first. The opening match showed that this ground allows teams batting first to pile on runs, which makes it much harder for the team chasing to keep up.
SFU vs LAKR
Winning Prediction
San Francisco Unicorns should feel pretty confident heading into this game after the way they thrashed the defending champions, Washington Freedo, in the first match. Given that the Los Angeles Knight Riders' bowling unit looks less threatening than Freedom’s, the Unicorns will likely back themselves again. For the Knight Riders to come out on top, they’ll need a big effort with the bat. If they fall short in that department, the Unicorns will have a clear edge.
San Francisco Unicorns are our picks for the winners of this match.
