Boland are heading into the fixture against the Knights looking to finish in the top four places by the end of the regular season. The team are two points behind fourth-placed Warriors, whose final match of the regular campaign is against the Titans. Meanwhile, the Dolphins are bottom of the standings with eight points from the six matches so far. Furthermore, the team are extremely far away from getting into the top four owing to the poor run rate.
Both teams have a fighting chance of sneaking into the knockout stages. Crucially, the Dolphins and Boland are heading on the back of a recent victory.

Dolphins have been stuck at the bottom of the table but the second victory of the season – against the Knights – came emphatically for the team. It has helped the team recover from a very poor run rate. Even now, they are at a disadvantage, but the six-wicket victory has opened up a sizeable advantage. Dolphins have now ed back-to-back victories following the recent success over the Knights.
Marques Ackerman leads the scoring charts with 191 runs from his six innings. Even though his contribution was quite limited against the Knights, his overall consistency throughout the season has been very good. Jason Smith was the pick of the batsmen against the Knights with 65 runs from 44 balls.
Andile Simelane remains the top bowler for the team with 11 wickets and he is only two wickets away from topping the leaderboard. However, he went without a wicket after struggling to have an impact against the Knights. It was Jason Smith who had an immense impact with wickets of the Knights' top order. Okuhle Cele has seven wickets from his six matches this season.

Boland were able to finally pick up the second win of the season after a close victory over the Warriors in the recent match. After choosing to bat first against the Warriors, Boland were able to set a strong target thanks to players like Clyde Fortuin, who hit a half-century, and Aviwe Mgijima. The contribution from the latter was particularly crucial in bolstering the middle order. A victory for Boland in the game puts them as a great competitor for the Warriors in the fourth place and Western Province in the fifth place.
Grant Roelofsen continues to remain the top scorer in the squad with 193 runs from his five innings at an average of 38. None of the other players in the squad have been able to step into three figures for the season so far. Roelofsen, though, was dismissed for a modest 26 in the game against Warriors.
Glenton Stuurman is the top bowler in the squad after grabbing eight wickets – five of them coming in the win over the Warriors. Keith Dudgeon picked up only one wicket against the Warriors but he remains one of the top bowlers with six wickets so far in the campaign.

The pitch will be in favour of batsmen like it has done in the previous two matches of the 2024-25 season. The average score from these two games in the first innings stands at an impressive 189. The batting strength of the two teams remains in good shape to expect a similar outcome. The weather in Durban is expected to be rainy with scattered showers.

The Kingsmead in Durban gets ready to host only its third game of the league campaign. So far, the venue has provided one victory and one defeat for the Dolphins. However, it has been a destination to witness high scores.
There have been two previous matches on this ground in the 2024-25 season. Dolphins have elected to field in both these matches. They have come out successful in just one of those games. In the last three matches for Boland, they have decided to field first in two of the games.
Boland have been able to get a crucial victory, but the team remains dependent on a handful of players in the batting line-up. Dolphins have managed back-to-back successes that will immensely boost their ability to overturn a losing streak against Boland. Boland might have picked up the victory in the recent game against the Dolphins, but the match may sway in favour of the hosts.
Our prediction is for Dolphins to win
