Last updated: 3 minutes ago

KZN-Inland have endured a challenging season, suffering five defeats in six matches. Boland, on the other hand, are having a stellar run and are expected to conclude the group stage with another victory. Key performances from Boland include Lehan Botha, who ranks fifth in the CSA T20 Challenge for runs. Despite consistency from players like Ntando Zuma, KZN-Inland have struggled to form substantial partnerships. Boland’s strong line-up and historic victories over KZN-Inland make them the favorites. Lehan Botha and Grant Roelofsen are standout contributors, further bolstered by powerful bowling performances from Keith Dudgeon and Imran Manack.
