Dolphins are tipped to defeat Easterns in the Pro20 Cup Super Eights, with a significant gap in team tiering, squad strength, and recent form favouring the Dolphins. Jason Smith, the Dolphins' top run-scorer with 211 runs, and spinner Prenelan Subrayen, leading their bowling with 11 wickets, have been key contributors. Easterns have lost all five Super Eights matches and sit eighth with zero points, while Dolphins are seventh with seven points. The only previous meeting between these teams was also won by the Dolphins.

Easterns vs Dolphins Predictions


Dolphins are favourites due to a significant gap in team tiering, squad strength, and recent form. The Dolphins' squad features players like Jason Smith, who has been their top run-scorer with 211 runs, and spinner Prenelan Subrayen, leading their bowling with 11 wickets. Easterns simply lack the depth to counter this level of top-tier experience.

  • Easterns are 8th in the Super Eights with zero points, having lost all 5 matches.
  • Easterns' Ronan Hermann has scores of 51, 33 & 62 in his last 4 innings.
  • Easterns' Jurie Snyman has taken 6 wickets in his last 5 matches.
  • Dolphins have won the only meeting with Easterns.
  • Dolphins' Ottneil Baartman has taken 12 wickets in his last 6 matches.
  • Dolphins' Jason Smith has scores of 47, 50* & 41* in his last 5 innings.
  • Dolphins are 7th in the Super Eights with 7 points, having won 1 and lost 3 of their 5 matches, with 1 no-result.
