The Dolphins will take on the Knights this Friday, as the round-robin stage of the ongoing edition of the CSA T20 Challenge nears its end.

DOL vs KN Team Previews

Dolphins

The Dolphins struggled at the start of the season, losing 2 of its first 3 matches. But they have bounced back since then, and have won their last two matches. The latest of those victories came against the Lions. Chasing a target of 164, the Dolphins never looked out of breath and achieved the target with 10 deliveries to spare.

The top-order batsmen have performed exceptionally well for the Dolphins. Grant Roelofsen is the top scorer for the team as well as the League, with 278 runs from 5 innings. Keegan Petersen, who was playing his second match of the season in the game against the Lions, scored an unbeaten 73 to guide his team toward a comfortable victory.

Ottniel Baartman and Eathan Bosch have been the pick of the bowlers, picking up 19 wickets between them. They are likely to cause significant trouble to the Knights’s batsmen.<br />

Knights

Two of the 4 scheduled fixtures for the Knights so far have been washed away due to rains, while they have won the remaining two. Their latest match, played against the Rocks, was a close affair, but the Knights held their nerve to clinch the game by 4 runs.

Raynard van Tonder and Gihahn Cloete have performed well at the top of the order, providing good starts in both the matches played so far. However, the middle order is relatively untested, and their performance against a quality bowling line-up like the Dolphins remains to be seen.

Captain Aubrey Swanepoel and Gerald Coetzee have picked up 8 wickets each and will play a key role in restraining the opposition batsmen.

Pitch and Conditions

The fast bowlers will be able to find some movement off the pitch. However, the wicket has a good and consistent bounce, and the batsmen will be able to score briskly. The average first innings score here is around 155 runs. But the team batting first would like to set a target over 170 runs to give their bowlers a good chance to defend. With showers forecast for the rest of the week, we might see interruptions or even a shortened match.

 

DOL vs KN Betting Tips

We are backing the Dolphins to win this one. While the Knights are undefeated this season, their middle order hasn’t been tested yet. The Dolphins have plenty of quality players and will find no problem in overcoming any challenge thrown toward them.

Bet on a Dolphins win.
