Last year the start of the season for Los Angeles did not go well at all. The team gained points with great difficulty and only at the end of the regular season pulled itself together and won seven victories in a row. But this did not help the Kings to get a ticket to the Stanley Cup, since they had to be content with only 14th line in the Western Conference table. Most of the Kings’ points were earned on the home arena, where the club is much more enjoyable to play. This season the situation should not change dramatically and Los Angeles will again be a serious opponent, mainly within their native walls.
Tackling Melbourne Stars a few days ago, the Strikers dropped a masterclass to ensure that the opposition were brushed aside. With some brilliant bowling on the day, AS comfortably posted a 5 wicket win on the board. Having bagged that victory, confidence will be sky-high in the Strikers camp. Surely, they will fancy their chances of inflicting another defeat on the Stars in this reverse fixture. Victory here would see Adelaide Strikers rise to third-place on the log, for the time-being, at least. More free cricket predictions can be obtained from the link provided.
