Western Province Team News & Playing 11
WPR Team News
Fourth in the table, but coming into this game after an 11 run defeat against North West on Friday, Western Province will be desperate to return to winning ways in front of their home fans. A victory could see them jump over Dolphins into third place.
WPR Team Batting
There were disappointing returns from Tony de Zorzi, Kyle Verreynne and Jonathan Bird in the last match who between them contributed seven runs from positions two, three and four. Edward Moore was the only one of the top four to make a good score against North West but they do have a strong batting line-up.
WPR Team Bowling
Although the batters had a disappointing day, Western Province’s bowlers impressed on Friday and they will come into this match with a high level of confidence. Wesley Bedja was the only one of the six man bowling attack to go wicketless against North West and we expect contributions with the ball from across the side in this game.
WPR Team Form
Western Province come into this game after losing three of their last four matches in the competition.
Western Province Predicted Playing 11
Edward Moore, Tony de Zorzi, Kyle Verreynne (c) (wk), Jonathan Bird, Valentine Kitime, George Linde, Juan James, Kyle Simmonds, Beuran Hendricks, Wesley Bedja, Mthiwekhaya Nabe
Dolphins Team News & Playing 11
DOL Team News
After being one of the two teams to not play on Friday, Dolphins will be eager to get back on the pitch for this match and will be looking to extend their two game winning streak. However, they are up against the team directly below them in the table so can expect a tough contest.
DOL Team Batting
It was a tough batting wicket in Durban for Dolphins in their last game and they won the match in spite of posting only 127/6. However, opener Khaya Zondo looked to be playing a different sport hitting at a strike-rate of 131.25, with none of the other top seven going above a strike-rate of 100, and he is likely to be a key batter in this game.
DOL Team Bowling
Dolphins’ bowling attack is recognised as the strongest part of their team and so it proved as they restricted Titans to 100/6 from 16 overs. Prenelan Subrayen (2/17) and JJ Smuts (2/15) will both come into this match with plenty of confidence.
DOL Team Form
Dolphins have lost only two of their last nine matches and are targeting their fourth win from the last five.
Dolphins Predicted Playing 11
Khaya Zondo, Grant Roelofsen (wk), JJ Smuts, Marques Ackerman, Jason Smith, Bradley Porteous, Andile Phehlukwayo, Eathan Bosch, Prenelan Subrayen (c), Ottniel Baartman, Okuhle Cele
🏆 Western Province vs Dolphins Prediction
