Warriors Team News & Playing 11
WAR Team News
Although Warriors come into this game in second place, their form has now become something of a concern ahead of the semi-finals. They would have returned to top of the table on Friday if they had beaten North West but instead could drop to third after this game against Dolphins.
WAR Team Batting
In spite of 45 runs from skipper Matthew Breetzke at the top of the order, Warriors were only able to post 145/7 against North West with only two other batters making scores of 20+. Warriors will need the likes of Breetzke and Jordan Hermann to perform with the bat if they are to get back to winning ways.
WAR Team Bowling
There were wickets for JP King, Sean Whitehead and Siya Simetu on Friday but the other four bowlers used by Warriors went wicketless against North West. Alfred Mothoa and Nealan van Heerden are expected to be the most dangerous bowlers in this game.
WAR Team Form
After a brilliant start to the tournament, Warriors come into this match on the back of three successive defeats.
Warriors Predicted Playing 11
Diego Rosier, Matthew Breetzke (c), Jordan Hermann, Patrick Kruger, Sinethemba Qeshile (wk), Andile Mokgakane, JP King, Sean Whitehead, Siya Simetu, Nealan van Heerden, Alfred Mothoa
Dolphins Team News & Playing 11
DOL Team News
Considering Dolphins lost their two opening matches of this year’s tournament, it is quite remarkable that they come into this game with a chance of finishing top of the group stage. Ahead of this match they are in third place but only three points behind Lions at the top.
DOL Team Batting
Requiring only 109 to beat bottom of the table KwaZulu-Natal Inland on Friday, Dolphins’ batters wasted no time in crossing the finishing line as they won with 35 balls remaining and eight wickets in hand. Confidence will be sky-high in the batting unit ahead of this match.
DO Team Bowling
Dolphins’ bowlers set-up the victory against KwaZulu-Natal Inland and South Africa international all-rounder Andile Phehlukwayo was the only one of the bowling unit to go wicketless. Okuhle Cele was particularly impressive and we expect him to enjoy the pitch in Gqeberha.
DOL Team Form
Dolphins cruised to victory on Friday, their fourth win in a row in the CSA T20 Challenge.
Dolphins Predicted Playing 11
Khaya Zondo, Grant Roelofsen (wk), JJ Smuts, Jason Smith, Marques Ackerman, Bradley Porteus, Andile Phehlukwayo, Andile Simelane, Prenelan Subrayen (c), Tristan Luus, Okuhle Cele
🏆 Warriors vs Dolphins Prediction
We expect this to be a very good indicator of the form and mentalities of both Warriors and Dolphins who are already guaranteed a place in the top four. As a team, Dolphins have been playing exceptionally strong cricket and we are backing them to win this game against Warriors.
