The Knight Riders have had a difficult start to their journey in the MLC. They are the first team to get eliminated from the inaugural season of the first premier cricket league in the US.

Nothing went well for the men in purple as they have lost each of the four games they played in the tournament so far. Washington Freedom put an end to their campaign in their last outing where Sunil Narine and his men failed to defend the target of 176 with almost two overs remaining.

The Knight Riders will now look to get a consolation win in their last league fixture against an in from Seattle Orcas and finish their campaign on a high.
