Preview
Los Angeles Knight Riders will be competing against Seattle Orcas at the Church Street Park in the match 12 of the Major League Cricket (MLC). LAKR have had a dismal start to their league campaign, losing four out of four, while SEO are yet to be defeated in the tournament, winning all their three matches so far. With such contrasting forms, Seattle is going to be all but certain about defeating Los Angeles to keep their stranglehold on top of the MLC 2023 points table.

Pitch Report
The first couple of matches in the Church Street Park for MLC have produced two indifferent scores in the first innings. Hence, batting first at this venue might not be the easiest way to achieve victory, so, in the upcoming match between LAKR and SEO, the first innings score could reach up to 160-165, if not more.
Team Analysis
Los Angeles Knight Riders
In their last two outings with the bat, Los Angeles Knight Riders have managed to put a good first innings score on the board. Andre Russell has been the best batter for LAKR in the MLC 2023, but the rest of the batting lineup is yet to deliver consistent results. In the bowling department, Los Angeles are struggling badly, even though they have the experienced spin duo of Sunil Narine and Adam Zampa at their disposal.

Seattle Orcas
Seattle Orcas batting lineup has started to deliver consistent results in the MLC 2023, chasing down the paltry total of 127 from Texas Super Kings with ease. The South Africa duo of Quinton de Kock and Heinrich Klaasen have hit form at the right time for SEO, making it easier for the rest of their batters to contribute runs in and around them. Wayne Parnell picked up a five-fer with the ball for Seattle against Texas, to make his presence felt in the tournament at long last.

Match Prediction
Conclusion
Seattle Orcas will definitely have the upper hand over Texas Super Kings, owing to their consistent form in the MLC 2023. But still, SEO have to play some of their best cricket to win against LAKR, who will be desperate for their first points in the league.
