Match 2 Preview | LAKRvMINY: Lots of history, and the similarity of wanting to bounce back

They go back a long way. From the IPL to the ILT20 to the MLC, this match is about two proud teams, two proud cities, two proud sporting legacies. 

Riding the similarity thread, both these teams are coming off defeats in their first game. While MI New York got quite close, thanks to the late hitting from Kieron Pollard and Tim David, to reduce the hit it took on the net run-rate, LA Knight Riders, had a pretty rough night against TSK in the tournament’s opening game, losing by 69 runs, thereby now having an NRR of -3.450. 

Let’s focus on us. We had a wonderful powerplay, and a strong finish with the bat. It’s the middle overs that need a bit of sorting out. Batting against the new ball wasn’t easy, and in the four games thus far, that’s been a trend. Under lights now, it might not after all be a high-scorer. 

For the trivia buffs, the first IPL match the Mumbai Indians won in history was against the Kolkata Knight Riders. And we know how the rivalry panned out after that, becoming the most-skewed win-loss ratios in our favor. It’s time we did something similar at MI New York! 

What: Los Angeles Knight Riders vs MI New York
When: 7:30pm local time (July 16) | 6:00am IST (July 17)

Where: Grand Prairie Stadium, Dallas 

What to expect: Let’s just say some extension of the #OneFamily dominance over the Knight Riders. It’s coming into America! 
What you need to do: Well, double the efforts. Double the cheering. Double the fandom. Double the shouting. It’s time to romp on the winning horse.
