Los Angeles Knight Riders vs MI New York Pitch Report
Not a great deal of international or franchise cricket has been played here at Grand Prairie Cricket Ground. However, from what we have seen so far, runs have flown thick and fast for the teams batting first. But bowlers also get their rewards too if they land the ball in the right areas.
Teams could be seen struggling to chase on this ground, so it will certainly be an ideal tactic to bat first and put enough runs on the board.

MI New York too suffered a defeat against Los Angeles Knight Riders but they went down with a fight. Their batting unit looked composed despite chasing a stiff target of over 210.
Prediction: MI New York to win the match.
