NWEST Team News
It has been a frustrating five game spell for North West who come into this match after only completing two of those fixtures. One was won and one was lost but their last game against KZN-Inland was abandoned without a ball bowled on Wednesday.
NWEST Team Batting
North West have a strong top six all of who are capable of batting at a high strike-rate and taking the game away from the opposition. However, the issue in this tournament has been the lack of consistency from the group with the exception of Lesiba Ngeope who has impressed with attacking innings towards the end of recent innings.
NWEST Team Bowling
Young leg-spinner Caleb Seleka has been getting plenty of turn throughout this competition but generally opposition batters have been able to wait for the bad ball and then play attacking strokes. In this game, pace bowler Duan Jansen will be able to generate bounce and will get the ball through at good speed.
NWEST Team Form
North West have won only two games across the whole tournament but none of those victories have come from their last three matches.

🏆 North West vs Dolphins Prediction
Both teams have had inconsistent runs of form throughout this tournament which is why they are fighting it out in mid-table as opposed to at the top of the league. North West have struggled with getting consistent game time over recent matches whereas we feel that Dolphins have been in better form and are game-ready. We are backing Dolphins to win this fixture.
