Warriors Team News & Playing 11
WAR Team News
With four wins from four so far in this year’s CSA T20 Challenge, it has been an excellent start to the campaign for Warriors but they will be in for a tough contest against Western Province in this match. Warriors last victory came over Boland by 32 runs (DLS) in Match 17.
WAR Team Batting
Left-handed opener Jiveshan Pillay has been very consistent for Warriors across the last three games in the tournament with scores of 45, 50 and 42. Pillay, along with skipper Matthew Breetzke, are a strong opening pair and both score runs quickly.
WAR Team Bowling
With the ball, four of the five bowlers used by Warriors picked up at least one wicket in the victory against Boland. Opening bowler Beyers Swanepoel and Patrick Kruger were the standout pair in that game but Anrich Nortje is always very dangerous at this level.
WAR Team Form
Warriors are targeting their fifth successive victory in the tournament in this game.
Warriors Predicted Playing 11
Matthew Breetzke (c), Jiveshan Pillay, Andile Mokgakane, Sinethemba Qeshile (wk), Jordan Hermann, Patrick Kruger, Beyers Swanepoel, JP King, Anrich Nortje, Renaldo Meyer, Siya Simetu
Western Province Team News & Playing 11
WPR Team News
After three victories against Dolphins, KZN-Inland and North West, Western Province tied against Lions in their last match but then lost the subsequent Super Over. However, they are yet to be beaten in ‘normal time’ in the competition and we can expect them to give Warriors a close game.
WPR Team Batting
Western Province have some more than capable middle order and lower order batters in their side but the main source of runs in this game is expected to come from the top four of Edward Moore, David Bedingham, Tony de Zorzi and skipper Kyle Verreyne.
WPR Team Bowling
Although he is very experienced and a regular wicket taker in this format, Wayne Parnell has been expensive for Western Province so far in the tournament. We expect him to keep his place in the side for this match although the new ball will be shared by Kyle Simmonds and Beuran Hendricks.
WPR Team Form
Western Province won their opening three games with only a Super Over in the last match bringing them their first defeat.
Western Province Predicted Playing 11
Edward Moore, David Bedingham, Tony de Zorzi, Kyle Verreynne (c) (wk), Mihlali Mpongwana, George Linde, Wayne Parnell, Kyle Simmonds, Abdullah Bayoum, Beuran Hendricks, Mthiwekhaya Nabe
🏆 Warriors vs Western Province Prediction
This could well be one of the games of the tournament so far with both sides playing good positive cricket. Western Province were very close to matching Warriors’ 100% record ahead of this game and we expect them to put up a big fight in this match as they target an immediate return to winning ways. However, our prediction is for Warriors to win this game on Thursday.
