TEAMS PREVIEW

Western Province Preview

It has been two consecutive wins for Kyle Verreynne's team. They demolished the Lions in the last game, winning by 10 wickets. Their bowlers and batsmen are in good form and Verreynne would like to continue with the same momentum as they look to hold onto the top position on the points table.  

Jonathan Bird and Tony de Zorzi played well in the last game and the pair will look to provide a similar start in this game. Kyle Verreynne scored a hundred in the tournament and would like to build partnerships with Yaseen Valli and Edward Moore in the middle order. Mihlali Mpongwana and George add depth to this batting line-up, making it strong.  

Nandre Burger picked 6 wickets in the last game, and he will look to grab early wickets while sharing the new ball with Beuran Hendricks. Mihlali Mpongwana and Mthiwekhaya Nabe bowled well, and the side will look for a similar show. George Linde completes a strong bowling attack for the team.

Western Province Predicted Playing XI:

Kyle Verreynne (c & wk), Tony de Zorzi, Jonathan Bird, Yaseen Valli, Edward Moore, Mihlali Mpongwana, Abdullah Bayoumy, Kyle Simmonds, Beuran Hendricks, Nandre Burger, Mthiwekhaya Nabe

Warriors Preview

Diego Rosier’s side faces a tough challenge in their season's opening game. They are up against a team that has demolished opponents in two games. They have a good mix of young and experienced players and Rosier would like to get the best out of each of them and start the season with a win.  

Jordan Hermann and George Van Heerden must deliver an excellent start to the side in this game as they face a formidable bowling attack. The middle order has a lot of experience, and the side will need a good show from Tristan Stubbs, Matthew Breetzke, and Diego Rosier. Liam Alder and Sinethemba Qeshile must do well as finishers.  

The bowling attack must be at its best in this game. They will need a good show with the new ball from Sean Whitehead and Renaldo Meyer. Tristan Stubbs and Ziyaad Abrahams must bowl good spells in the middle overs for the side to win. Liam Alder and Rosier must do well in the ing role.

Warriors Predicted Playing XI:

Diego Rosier (c), Sinethemba Qeshile (wk), Jordan Hermann, Matthew Breetzke, Tristan Stubbs, Ziyaad Abrahams, Renaldo Meyer, Liam Alder, George Van Heerden, Marco Jansen, Sean Whitehead

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

We expect an overcast day in Cape Town, making the batting conditions challenging.  The pitch is known for favoring fast bowlers and the speedsters on both sides would be raring to bowl here. A score over 280 runs would be a competitive total here.  

WPR vs WAR Pitch Report

Western Province Cricket Club, Cape Town, is a typical South African track where the grass offers good bounce and carry for the fast bowlers. This is also a good wicket to bat on for batsmen who like to hit through the line as once they are set scoring becomes easy with a relatively fast outfield.  

Toss: To Bat

It has been a ground where teams batting first have done well. The ball comes onto the bat nicely here, making it a good ground to set a total and defend it. The captain winning the toss should not hesitate to bat first on this wicket.
