After this game, there will be only two more group stage matches in the 2024 MLC and realistically the winner of this fixture will finish in the top four and progress to the knockout stage.
There is a scenario in a very close contest where MI New York can win but Los Angeles Knight Riders still progress courtesy of net-run-rate but we can expect both sides to go all out for the win on Sunday evening.
The Knight Riders and New York have both got nowhere near their ceiling so far in the competition but if they do get into the top four then both have the personnel to go all the way.

After beating bottom of the table Seattle Orcas by four wickets with five balls remaining in Match 15, Los Angeles Knight Riders have given themselves the best opportunity ahead of this game to finish in the top four positions.
That victory over the Orcas was thanks to some brilliant batting from keeper-batter Unmukt Chand who top scored with 62 runs from 47 balls but in this match, with everything to play for, we expect the likes of Jason Roy, Sunil Narine and David Miller to also stand up and be counted.
With the ball, Andre Russell will be key with the new cherry alongside Spencer Johnson and captain Sunil Narine's spin could also be the difference between victory and defeat.

In spite of having a team of players who most other T20 sides in any tournament would love to have on their side, MI New York have massively under-performed in the 2024 MLC. They have not won a game since their opening match and although they were much more competitive in their last fixture, they still went down by three runs to San Francisco Unicorns.
Nothing short of a win will be sufficient in this match and all eyes will be on Nicholas Pooran and opener Dewald Brevis with the bat. Romario Shepherd and Rashid Khan have their moments with the bat but they need to perform with the ball, as does Trent Boult who could send the team into the knockout stages if he produces one of his famous opening overs.

It will be cloudy with the humidity levels above 50% throughout this match and, even though the game is taking place in the evening, the temperature will drop no lower than 28 degrees.

This surface in Dallas has offered up some excellent contests between bat and ball so far in the tournament and it would be a surprise if bowlers did not feel like they had opportunities again in this game. Whoever bats first will be looking to hit 165+ as a minimum to be competitive.
In a game where no one wants to make an error, bowling first is likely to be the preference of both captains. We have also seen the pitch quicken up in Dallas over the second innings of matches.
Although MI New York have some bigger name players and global T20 stars, it is Los Angeles Knight Riders who have won two group stage matches and come into this fixture off the back of a victory. We expect a close game but our prediction is for the Knight Riders to win.
