North West Team News & Playing 11
NWEST Team News
After getting off to a poor start in this year’s campaign, North West come into this match unbeaten in their last two games although one of those was a no-result against Dolphins. Starting the game seven points above Boland, North West will fancy their chances ahead of this fixture.
NWEST Team Batting
With their last game not yielding a result, there were still 13.2 overs of North West batting although they were not at their best reaching 79/4. In this game, we can expect Rubin Hermann and Raynard van Tonder, both in the top three, to take the attack to Boland’s bowling attack.
NWEST Team Bowling
Due to the rain interrupting their last game, North West’s bowlers will have enjoyed six days without sending down a ball to a batter by the time this match begins. As a result, we expect Kerwin Mungroo and Migael Pretorius to bowl with more pace than usual in this fixture.
NWEST Team Form
North West lost their first three games but won their last completed match by 125 runs.
North West Predicted Playing 11
Meeka-eel Prince (wk), Rubin Hermann, Raynard van Tonder, Wihan Lubbe, Lesiba Ngoepe, Senuran Muthusamy (c), Ruan de Swardt, Migael Pretorius, Bamanye Xenxe, Caleb Seleka, Kerwin Mungroo
Boland Team News & Playing 11
BOL Team News
Pieter Malan’s side come into this game as one of only two sides, alongside KZN-Inland, who are yet to pick up a point in this season’s CSA T20 Challenge. Rain interrupted their last game, against Warriors, but they were still well beaten.
BOL Team Batting
Chasing a reduced target of 150, Boland were bowled out for 117 against Warriors in Match 15. If they stick with the same line-up, only four of their batters will arrive in Potchefstroom after making a double-figure score in their last game! They need more runs from across their batting line-up.
BOL Team Bowling
Three of Boland’s bowlers picked up a two-wicket haul in their last fixture and we can expect two of them, both spinners, Siyabonga Mahima and Shaun von Berg, to get turn from this pitch. Hardus Viljoen may not get much assistance from the surface but will always be a threat with his well-targeted and fast yorkers.
BOL Team Form
Boland have been beaten by 32 runs (DLS), 9 wickets, 4 wickets and 44 runs in their four matches so far.
Boland Predicted Playing 11
Janneman Malan, Clyde Fortuin (wk), Pieter Malan (c), Christiaan Jonker, Michael Copeland, Ferisco Adams, Shaun von Berg, Hardus Viljoen, Imran Manack, Siyabonga Mahima, Akhona Mnyaka
🏆 North West vs Boland Prediction
Failure to win this game will see Boland stretch their record in this competition to five games without a victory and we are not predicting them to have an enjoyable afternoon in Potchefstroom. Compared to earlier in the season, North West have improved over their last two matches and we are backing them to get another win in this fixture.
