DOL vs WRS 2nd Semi-Final Match Prediction

DOL vs WRS Team Previews

Dolphins

Andile Phehlukwayo, who was in and out of Dolphins lineup right through the tournament, will return back to the squad after having a successful stint for the national side. He had a terrific first few matches with the Dolphins and topped it up with a first-class performance against Sri Lanka for the Proteas with both bat and ball.

Dolphins were the only side that started the tournament on a high, winning four out of their first five matches. However, they lost a bit of momentum towards the back-end of the league stage which as they could win only a couple of games out of their next five.

While the presence of Andile Phehlukwayo will add to Dolphins's power, the absence of David Miller and Imran Tahir - who both have flown to India to play IPL, could be a matter of concern. Also, Rob Frylinck who was brilliant in BPL and in the build-up to the playoffs, won't be available leaving their tail and bowling a little more vulnerable.

Warriors

Although the Warriors do not really have a big name in their lineup, they've done tremendously well in the competition and are perhaps one of the better-balanced sides in the competition. To add to their army of utility players, Sinethemba Queshile and Lutho Sipamla will return to their lineup for the playoffs.

The Warriors will also draw confidence from their terrific record of playing at this ground. Having said that, their last encounter against the Dolphins wasn't really fruitful and we might see them adopt a cautious approach going forward in the match.

All in all, the Warriors may not have a star-studded lineup, but they have a terrific balance and more often than not, they are more than the sum of their parts on the field. The likes of Matt Breetzke, Queshile, and Sipamla along with their experienced skipper, JJ Smuts have done well in the tournament thus far and will have a huge role to play in upcoming fixture.
