In a quest to remain in the playoff hunt, Los Angeles Knight Riders will be squaring off against the inaugural champions, MI New York, in match 27 of Major League Cricket 2025 at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Lauderhill, Florida. These two sides will be meeting for the second time in three days’ time. Their latest meeting took place on July 4 at this very venue, where MI New York thrashed the Knight Riders by 8 wickets. In this post, we have come up with free expert tips for the 27th match of MLC 2025, NY vs LAS in Florida.
Los Angeles Knight Riders have had a dreadful season. They just managed a single win throughout this season out of 8 matches and are on the verge of getting eliminated from the playoff race. On the other hand, MI New York have kept their slimmer playoff hopes alive with a win over this very opponent two days back. A win in the previous fixture must have given them ample confidence to take forward in this fixture. They will start favorites. Let’s continue with the post and find out the best cricket tips for the 27th match of MLC 2025, NY vs LAS.
LAS: 40% win chance NY: 60% win chance
Monank Patel has crawled to the numero uno position on the leading run-getters chart of this season. From 8 innings so far, he has 349 runs to his name at an average of 13.62 and a strike rate of 154.42.
The MI New York skipper has 244 runs to his name from 8 innings despite being hot and cold. He hasn't been as fluent as he is known for but could be a prized bet against LAKR's weak bowling lineup.
The wicket-keeper batter of LAKR is also their highest run-getter this season with 243 runs from 8 innings. He will be a key figure at the top.
Andre Russell was promoted to no 3 in the last game. However, the move didn't pay any dividend. He still remains crucial for the team both with the bat and ball.
Check out our prediction for the NY vs LAS Major League Cricket 2025, Match 27.
MI New York hasn’t had the season they would have liked. With only two wins from 8 matches, they currently stand 5th on the points table and have kept their playoff hopes alive. With only two more matches remaining, they need to win both of them, but at the same time, they have to remain dependent on other results going their way.
San Francisco Unicorns, Texas Super Kings, and Washington Freedom are the three teams that have already made it to the playoffs. The rest of the three teams, Seattle Orcas, MI New York, and Los Angeles Knight Riders, are vying for that final playoff spot.
Out of these three sides, Seattle Orcas have the brightest chance of making it to the playoffs. For MI New York to qualify, they have to win both their remaining fixtures against Los Angeles Knight Riders and the reigning champions, Washington Freedom, and at the same time, they should hope the Orcas drop at least one of their remaining two games. If that happens, MINY will go through the playoffs.
Los Angeles Knight Riders can not afford to lose any more games if they are to qualify as the fourth team for the playoffs. Having won only a solitary match so far out of 8, they have just two points to their name and are languishing right at the bottom of the points table with the worst net run rate among all other teams.
The scenario for LAKR’s playoff qualification is dicey. Even if they win their remaining two fixtures, their fate won’t be in their hands, as they would want Los Angeles Knight Riders and Seattle Orcas to lose their remaining games. This is the only way they can qualify for the playoffs; otherwise, they could become the first team to be eliminated from the top 4 race. Let’s move ahead and check the cricket tips.
