Pre-Match Analysis:

Los Angeles Knight Riders had a dreadful first two matches where they lost to Texas Super Kings and MI New York by 69 runs and 105 runs respectively. They were clueless with the bat in their last outing against MI New York where they faltered for just 50 runs while chasing 155. The bowlers are getting their job done and it’s high time for their well-oiled batting line-up to show up if they want to remain in the contest. Jason Roy has finished his T20 Blast commitments for Surrey and is available for selection.

San Francisco Unicorns had a bittersweet start to their tournament campaign. They knocked down MI New York in a high-scoring contest by 22 runs and endured an easy 35 runs loss over Seattle Orcas in their following game. They bank heavily on all-rounders Marcus Stoinis, Shadab Khan, and Corey Anderson. Liam Plunkett, Haris Rauf, and Carmi le Roux who forms the pace battery have done quite well in the last 2 matches. They need to take advantage of the struggling Knight Riders in this match.
