MLC 2025: Match 24, LAS vs NY Match Prediction – Who will win today’s MLC match between LAS vs NY?

Los Angeles Knight Riders (LAS) take on MI New York (NY) in a bottom-of-the-table clash in match No. 24 of the Major League Cricket (MLC) 2025 at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Lauderhill, Florida, on Friday, July 4.

Sunil Narine has been out of action in the last few games, and his absence has been dearly felt by LAS. Jason Holder has tried his best to rally his troops, but his aspirations haven't borne fruit yet. The Knights are languishing at the bottom of the points table, having lost six out of the seven games they have played so far. Their net run rate (NRR) is a miserable -1.756.

On the other hand, MI New York have not been able to live up to their potential. They began their campaign with three consecutive defeats before getting off the mark with a win against Seattle Orcas. However, since that victory, Nicholas Pooran's men have lost three games in a row. They have also won only one game so far, and have a NRR of -0.714.

LAS haven't been able to beat NY so far in two attempts. The team which ends up on the losing side on Friday will be all but out of the race to the playoffs.

Match Details

Pitch Report

The surface in Lauderhill is expected to be well-balanced, with bowlers having a bit more of a say as compared to Dallas and California. The captain who wins the toss will want to bowl first and assess the conditions. However, as both teams are low on confidence, winning the toss and batting first will allow them to avoid feeling the scoreboard pressure.
