TEAMS PREVIEW
Dolphins Preview
Dolphins need a much better effort to secure their first win. It will not be an easy outing for the team after suffering 3 consecutive losses. None of their batters have been consistent and without some major contributions from the top 4 batters, the Dolphins are likely to end up with a below-par score.
Khaya Zondo and Marques Ackerman are the key figures in the top 4. Ackerman scored 32 and 42 in his last two outings at a decent strike rate. Zondo also looked in good touch in each of his innings so far but could never convert his starts into something more significant.
All-rounder JJ Smuts is another key player in the middle order who can score some crucial runs and build partnerships. Tshepang Dithole hasn’t looked promising in the lower middle order and it seems like a lot depends on Zondo and Ackerman in this lineup.
In the bowling attack, Dupavillon is a well-known figure who’s delivered some brilliant spells in the past. He came in after replacing Eathan Bosch but hasn’t lived up to the expectations.
Bosch, a right-arm fast bowler is an impressive talent and should be considered ahead of Dupavillon in this match. Bosch is also handy with the bat in the lower order. Skipper Prenelan Subrayen and JJ Smuts will be the ones to watch out for in the spin department. These two can deliver crucial breakthroughs and also contain the flow of runs.
Dolphins Predicted Playing XI:
Tshepang Dithole (wk), Marques Ackerman, Khaya Zondo, Bradley Porteous, JJ Smuts, Andile Simelane, Romashan Pillay, Prenelan Subrayen (c), Daryn Dupavillon, Okuhle Cele, Bryce Parsons

North West Preview
North West are on a roll with 3 consecutive wins. However, not all of these wins came comfortably. In their last win, they won by a narrow margin of 3 runs while defending 176 while in their first win of the season, they won by the same margin while defending 144 runs.
There are some reliable and consistent batters in this side. Skipper Wihan Lubbe and batting all-rounder Lesiba Ngoepe look very promising in the middle-order. Whereas, at the top, Janneman Malan and wicket-keeper batsman Meeka eel Prince are in fine touch.
The top 4 can deliver the majority of runs for the North West and get the team on the way to a highly competitive total. All-rounder Marco Jansen has plenty of experience with the bat as well and can be a handy finisher in the lower middle order.
With Jansen leading the pace attack, North West look quite threatening. Another right-arm fast bowler, Kerwin Mungroo has been consistent so far. He has been economical and delivered breakthroughs in every single game. Duan Jansen and Caleb Seleka are other reliable wicket-takers in this bowling attack.
Overall, it is a solid-looking team with the winning momentum on their side and many of their key players in great form.
North West Predicted Playing XI:
Meeka eel Prince (wk), Janneman Malan, Wihan Lubbe (c), Raynard van Tonder, Lesiba Ngoepe, Thamsanqa Kumalo, Duan Jansen, Marco Jansen, Caleb Seleka, Kerwin Mungroo, Achille Cloete

DOL vs NW Pitch Report

Batting Conditions
Pace Bowling
Spin Bowling
It is a bowling-friendly wicket where the pacers are likely to find help from the surface. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 matches at Kingsmead is 152 runs. In this contest, anything around 170 should be a match-winning total considering the form of both sides.
Toss: To Bowl
Teams bowling first have won 6 of the last 7 T20s played at this venue. Even though the Dolphins lost while chasing a target in their last encounter on this ground, they would still consider bowling first in this match. An in-form batting lineup of North West makes a strong case for chasing a target.
DOL vs NW
Winning Prediction
Dolphins will be fighting an uphill battle against the in-form North West. They haven’t got any consistent or reliable batters to take them to a good total. North West, on the other hand, have most of their key players in fine touch, delivering consistently in every department. North West will start as favorites in our match prediction.
