Boland vs Dolphins Predictions

Boland are looking unbeatable at the moment, with their bowling attack performing particularly well. The Dolphins are also unbeaten this season, with a strong bowling attack, but Boland at home tips the balance in my book.

Boland’s Lehan Botha has scored 42, 52* & 42* in his 3 innings in the CSA T20 Challenge.
Boland’s Clyde Fortuin has scored 49, 30 & 50 in his last 4 innings.
Dolphins’ Leus du Plooy has scored 44*, 68, 43 & 60 in his last 4 innings.
Dolphins’ Khaya Zondo has scored 20, 43 & 25 in his last 3 innings.

Head-to-Head

Boland have won three and lost two of their last five matches against the Dolphins, including the last two in a row.

Boland Form

Boland made it four wins from four matches in the tournament when they beat the Titans by seven wickets.

Glenton Stuurman (2/16, econ 4.00) and Imran Manack (2/18, econ 4.50) were the stars of the Boland attack as they restricted the Titans to 128/8 off their 20 overs.

Grant Roelofsen added to his recent scores of 43, 82* & 24 by adding 28 at the top of the order, but it was again the form batters Clyde Fortuin (50 off 32) and Lehan Botha (42* off 29) who secured the win for Boland.

Boland Team News

Boland are in excellent form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

Dolphins Form

The Dolphins completed a third successive win in the CSA T20 Challenge this season when they beat the Warriors by seven wickets.

The Dolphins rolled through the strong Warriors top order, reducing them to 47/5 on the way to being bowled out for just 94. Andile Simelane (3/13, econ 4.10) was the pick of the Dolphins bowlers, backed up by economical spells from Aryan Gopalan (2/9, econ 3.00) and Eathan Bosch (2/11, econ 2.75).

Tshepang Dithole (39) continued to be reliable at the top of the order against the Warriors, putting on 65 for the first wicket with Khaya Zondo (25) to put their side within touching distance of the win. Dithole has scored 32, 39, 33 & 39 in his last five innings.

Dolphins Team News

The Dolphins will be relying on their bowling attack to keep Boland’s score down to give their batters an advantage against the strong Boland attack.

Verdict

Boland v Dolphins

I am backing Boland to win. I am also backing Lehan Botha to top score for Boland.

Leus du Plooy is a good bet to top score for Dolphins.
