Los Angeles Knight Riders are under the pump as they find themselves languishing at the bottom of the points table with a shambolic NRR of -4.35. They have suffered two defeats by a heavy margin and are desperately looking to get back on track before time runs out.
Their batting has been a primary area of concern as the batting unit floundered in both the matches that they played so far in this tournament,
San Francisco Unicorns are ranked 5th in the points table sitting with a NRR of -0.325. They registered a win in their opening game against MI New York but later went down to Seattle in their following game.

Los Angeles Knight Riders vs San Francisco Pitch Report
Judging by the current trend, only one team has been successful in chasing. The success rate for any team chasing in this tournament has been as low as 14%. So the ideal decision would be to bat first on this track and get enough runs on the board to skittle the opposition under pressure. Anything in excess of 160 looks to be a match-winning score on this track.
