DPWL vs NWD 16th Match Prediction

DPWL vs NWD Team Previews

DP World Lions

The Lions continue to have an excellent tournament with the bat. Ryan Rickelton followed up his century in the first match with 99 in the second. Reeza Hendricks is also in good touch but he is not yet converting his starts into big scores. We think it is just a matter of time before he gets in on the act as well. 

There is a good amount of depth in the batting lineup and the kind of quality in the top order that they possess ensures they are always going to be in the game. 

Sisanda Magala, Bjorn Fortuin, and Malusi Siboto are the bowlers that will lead the attack for the Lions. Siboto picked up four wickets in his previous match and was well supported by the others. The Lions are a well-balanced team with almost all of their leading players performing to expectations.

North West Dragons

The Dragons are led by Heino Kuhn who is also the wicketkeeper and one of the leading batters for his side. That is a lot of responsibility on him and these are not the only worries on his mind. The top order has not been firing consistently for the Dragons and so it is not uncommon to see them lose a couple of early wickets in most matches. 

Christopher Britz, Senuram Muthusamy, Dwaine Pretorius, and Duan Jansen are all excellent all-rounders. They add depth to the lineup and often bail out the team with their batting. The lack of runs from the top order could cost them heavily in this match. 

Of course, having so many quality all-rounders is a definite advantage as well and immediately gives the team a lot of bowling options.
