Los Angeles Knight Riders will face the San Francisco Unicorns on July 7 at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Florida in what will be their final league match of Major League Cricket 2025. The Unicorns, led by Corey Anderson, have been one of the standout teams this season, sitting near the top of the table with 7 wins from 9 matches and a strong net run rate of +1.527, already securing their playoff berth. In contrast, the Knight Riders, captained by Sunil Narine, have endured a difficult campaign, registering just a single win in 8 matches and are at the bottom of the table with a net run rate of -1.677, effectively out of playoff contention.
San Francisco’s squad boasts explosive batting options such as Tim Seifert, Finn Allen, and Jake Fraser-McGurk, complemented by the all-round prowess of Corey Anderson and a potent pace attack led by Haris Rauf and Xavier Bartlett. The Knight Riders, despite their struggles, feature big names like Alex Hales, Andre Fletcher, Andre Russell, and the experienced Narine, who are all capable of producing match-winning performances on their day.
With the Unicorns aiming to maintain momentum heading into the playoffs and the Knight Riders playing for pride, this encounter promises high-intensity cricket. Expect San Francisco to start as clear favorites given their form and table position, but the Knight Riders will look to end their season on a high and potentially spoil the Unicorns’ run.

Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Pitch Report:
The pitch at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Florida typically offers a balanced contest between bat and ball. Early in the match, fast bowlers can expect some assistance with bounce and movement due to the fresh surface and underlying moisture. As the game progresses, the pitch tends to settle, making stroke play easier for batters, especially under lights. Spinners may come into play in the middle overs, with some grip and turn available if the surface dries out. Overall, a first-innings total around 170-180 is considered competitive here, but chasing teams have also found success, making the toss less decisive than at some other venues.
