WAR vs DPWL Match Prediction - Dec 21, 2022

It is a battle of the extremes as the top-ranked team on the points table, the Lions, take on the bottom-placed team, the Warriors, in what will be match number 25 in the ongoing CSA One-Day Challenge.

With such a difference in both the teams’ performances this season, the odds are pretty short when one bets on a win for the Lions. However, wagers placed on side bets can provide decent returns. 

 

WAR vs DPWL Team Previews

Warriors

The Warriors are having a forgettable outing this season as they have lost 5 of the 6 matches played so far. With just 1 match remaining for them, they are already out of the race for finishing in the top 2. Nevertheless, they will be looking to end their campaign on a winning note.

The Warriors’ squad has some extremely talented players, and they have played well this season. However, the team lacks cohesiveness as a unit and that has been one of the major reasons for its failures. Jordan Hermann has scored 289 runs this season, including a century and 2 half-centuries, and is the leading scorer for his team. Tristan Stubbs too has been quite reliable in the middle order.

However, the other batsmen around them have been rather inconsistent. Similarly, Ziyaad Abrahams and Akhona Manyaka have bowled very well throughout the season, and have 13 and 12 wickets against their names respectively. Apart from them, the bowling has been quite mediocre and hasn’t been able to defend even big scores.

DP World Lions

The Lions are the defending champions for this season. They have continued to build upon their form from the previous season and have already booked their place in the finals scheduled to be held next week.

The Lions have been undefeated so far this season and have won each of their 5 matches so far. Wicketkeeper Ryan Rickelton has been in sublime form this season and is the leading run-scorer of the tournament with 377 runs from 5 innings.

He has received great support from captain Dominic Hendricks, who too has batted exceptionally well. Mitchell van Buuren and Reeza Hendricks have batted well in patches. Sisanda Magala is second on the list of top wicket-takers for the season with 12 wickets. However, other than him and Malusi Siboto, the other bowlers have struggled to pick up wickets at regular intervals.

Pitch and Conditions

The track at St. George’s Park is a pretty balanced one. The batsmen will enjoy the consistent bounce and will be able to play their shots naturally. However, as the match progresses, the pitch tends to slow down a bit and will aid the spinners. The average first innings score here is between 230-240 and can be considered a par score.

The weather will remain overcast and gusts of wind can reach up to 40km/h. The weather is expected to remain around 22 degrees Celsius. 

 

WAR vs DPWL Betting Tips

The Lions have been clinical in their performance this season and are well on track to defend their title. On the other hand, the Warriors team has failed to perform as a unit, and the players look out of sync with each other. Given the record for this season, there is only one team to back here and that is the Lions.

Bet on the Lions to win.
