SFU vs LAKR Probable Winners:

The San Francisco Unicorns should be pretty confident going into this game after thrashing the defending champions, the Washington Freedo, in their first match. Since the Los Angeles Knight Riders' bowling unit appears to be less dangerous than Freedom's, the Unicorns will most likely defend themselves again. To win, the Knight Riders will need to put in a strong performance with the bat. If they fall short in that area, the Unicorns will have a distinct advantage. Considering the team combination, San Francisco Unicorns is expected to win this match.
