Washington Freedom will take on Los Angeles Knight Riders at the Oakland Coliseum in Match 8 of the ongoing edition of Major League Cricket on June 18 morning India time.

Both sides have played two games each so far. While Washington have won and lost one each, Los Angeles are yet to get their first points on the board.

Each side would be hoping to give their best. This contest is expected to be a run-fest and a thrilling clash could be anticipated.

The Oakland Coliseum has recorded a high average first innings score. The conditions and dimensions of the ground are expected to make it a paradise for the batters.

Mitchell Owen, Rachin Ravindra, Andries Gous (wk), Glenn Maxwell (c), Glenn Phillips, Jack Edwards, Mukhtar Ahmed, Obus Pienaar, Ian Holland, Abhishek Paradkar, Saurabh Netravalkar

Andre Fletcher, Alex Hales, Unmukt Chand (wk), Nitish Kumar, Saif Badar, Matthew Tromp, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine (c), Shadley van Schalkwyk, Ali Khan, Tanveer Sangha

After a forgettable IPL, Maxwell started off MLC 2025 with another low score. However, an unbeaten 20-ball 38-run knock in his side's second game is just what could be expected from him again.

Netravalkar came back wonderfully well from a 57-run pounding in the tournament opener to bowl 12 dot deliveries in his four-over spell the other day. He could be anticipated to bowl another frugal spell.
