Los Angeles Knight Riders (LAS) take on MI New York (NY) in a bottom-of-the-table clash in match No. 24 of the Major League Cricket (MLC) 2025 at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Lauderhill, Florida, on Friday, July 4.Sunil Narine has been out of action in the last few games, and his absence has been dearly felt by LAS. Jason Holder has tried his best to rally his troops, but his aspirations haven't borne fruit yet. The Knights are languishing at the bottom of the points table, having lost six out of the seven games they have played so far. Their net run rate (NRR) is a miserable -1.756.On the other hand, MI New York have not been able to live up to their potential. They began their campaign with three consecutive defeats before getting off the mark with a win against Seattle Orcas. However, since that victory, Nicholas Pooran's men have lost three games in a row. They have also won only one game so far, and have a NRR of -0.714.LAS haven't been able to beat NY so far in two attempts. The team which ends up on the losing side on Friday will be all but out of the race to the playoffs.Match DetailsMatch Match 24, MLC 2025 Los Angeles Knight Riders vs MI New York,, MLC 2025 Venue Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground, Lauderhill, Florida Date & Time Friday, July 4, 4:30 am (IST) Live Broadcast and Streaming Details Star Sports Network and JioHotstar (app & website)Pitch ReportThe surface in Lauderhill is expected to be well-balanced, with bowlers having a bit more of a say as compared to Dallas and California.
