Los Angeles Knight Riders vs Texas Super Kings Predictions

While both sides are strong on paper and drafted in top-class players, the Knight Riders squad is looking in better form and are likely to get their 2024 season off to a winning start.

Los Angeles Knight Riders’ Jason Roy has scored 9,299 T20 runs in his career at a strike rate of 141.58.
Los Angeles Knight Riders’ David Miller has scored 59*, 29, 43 & 21 in his last 7 innings.
Texas Super Kings’ Faf du Plessis has scored 61, 62, 25, 24, 64 & 54 in his last 10 innings.
Texas Super Kings’ Devon Conway has scored 63, 22* & 35 in his last 5 innings.

Head-to-Head

The two teams met in the first-ever MLC match, with the Super Kings winning by 69 runs.

Los Angeles Knight Riders Form

The Knight Riders’ last match saw them end a miserable League campaign with a two-wicket win after four losses on the bounce.

The Orcas scored a challenging 170/6 off their 20 overs, Adam Zampa picking up 2/26.

The Knight Riders chased well and earned the win with five balls in hand, Rilee Rossouw scoring a magnificent 78* off just 38 balls.

Los Angeles Knight Riders Team News

The Knight Riders’ horror season will hopefully be much improved by the drafting of David Miller, Alex Carey and Shakib Al Hasan for the 2024 season.

Texas Super Kings Form

Their last match was in the 2023 Challenger, one step from the final, when they lost to MI New York by six wickets.

The Super Kings scored 158 off their 20 overs, Devon Conway top-scoring with 38.

MI New York picked off the winning runs with an over to spare, Rusty Theron (1/12) returning the best figures with the ball.

The Super Kings will hope their batters in particular can find form in time for this clash.

Verdict

Los Angeles Knight Riders v Texas Super Kings

I am backing the Los Angeles Knight Riders to win. I am also backing Jason Roy to top score for the Los Angeles Knight Riders.

Faf du Plessis is a good bet to top score for the Texas Super Kings.
