WAF vs LAKR Top Team Batsmen

We are backing Matthew Short, Glenn Phillips and Moises Henriques with the bat for Washington Freedom. Henriques has got going in both games so far and we expect him to go big at some point in the tournament. Phillips has hit two T20I centuries in his career.
We recommend Jason Roy, Rilee Rossouw and Andre Russell as our batting choices for Los Angeles Knight Riders. Rossouw is yet to make a big score in the tournament but is one of the most exciting left-handed top order batters in T20 cricket. Roy’s top T20 score is 145 not out.

WAF vs LAKR Top Team Bowlers

Marco Jansen, Akeal Hosein and Saurabh Netravalkar are our bowling tips for Washington Freedom. Left-arm quick bowler Netravalkar’s top T20 bowling figures are 5-12. Hosein dismissed Lahiru Milantha and Milind Kumar in the last game.
Our bowling selections are Lockie Ferguson, Adam Zampa and Andre Russell for Los Angeles Knight Riders. Ferguson was rested for the last game but will enjoy the pace on offer in this surface. Russell needs 3 wickets to bring up 400 dismissals in T20 cricket.

WAF vs LAKR Fantasy Team

Who will win Washington Freedom vs Los Angeles Knight Riders T20 Match?

Player for player, there is not much to choose between the sides but Los Angeles Knight Riders currently look very low on confidence so we have Washington Freedom as the top side ahead of the game.
