The Church Street Park in Morrisville is all set to see an exciting contest as the Los Angeles Knight Riders (LAKR) takes on the Seattle Orcas (SEO) in the 12th match of the Major Cricket League (MLC) 2023 on July 23 at 12:30 pm local time/ 10:30 pm IST.
Wayne Parnell’s leadership has propelled the Orcas into the playoffs with an impressive record. With three wins in as many games, they currently dominate the table with six points and a net run rate of +1.254. Despite their assured place in the playoffs, the Orcas still have the opportunity to further enhance their position in the upcoming two matches.
On the other hand, the Knight Riders have experienced a disappointing campaign, already facing elimination from the tournament. With four losses in the T20 competition, Sunil Narine and his team has failed to live up to expectations and have struggled to find their form.
Pitch report
