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.

Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas is a small field with a fast outfield. Batsmen have done well here because they can hit their shots and cross the boundary. The track helps fast bowlers, but spinners struggle because of the dimensions.
