WPR vs KNG Match Prediction & Analysis
This is the final group stage game for both of these teams after what has been a bit of a disappointing run of matches for them. However, as things stand, they both come into this match knowing that a victory will give them a chance of progressing to the play-offs.
With 11 points on the board compared to Knights' eight, it is Western Province who have the easier task of making the top four, however, if results go their way and they win convincingly then Knights could still sneak in as well!
If one of the sides does make it to the top four then they will need to find some consistency to their game which they have struggled to find so far in the tournament. But at Newlands, one of the most iconic grounds in world cricket, this would be a great fixture to get back into top form.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Western Province Preview
At this stage of a season, with the league stage about to conclude, teams just need one player to make a big contribution to make all the difference. For Western Province, their whole bowling attack filled that role in their last game before left-handed Edward Moore, who came to the crease with his team 2/2, batted all the way through to victory contributing 87 not out from 62 balls in the process!
Jonathan Bird comes into this game after making a two-ball duck at the top of the order but he has all the attributes, as well as a strong mentality to bounce back with a big score in this match.
Mthiwekhaya Nabe and the experienced George Linde stood out with the ball in the last fixture but Beuran Hendricks, the skipper, will also be key on this wicket.
Western Province Predicted Playing XI:
Jonathan Bird, Daniel Smith (wk), Valentine Kitime, Edward Moore, Mihlali Mpongwana, George Linde, Abdullah Bayoumy, Kyle Simmonds, Beuran Hendricks (c), Mthiwekhaya Nabe, Wesley Bedja

Knights Preview
Although they were beaten in their last game, Knights do have an opening batter in strong form ahead of this match after Jacques Snyman smashed six fours and two sixes in his 58 runs from 37 balls. What he and the rest of the team need in this fixture is one or two of the other batters to make a significant contribution and it could well be the experienced Rilee Rossouw is the man to do it from number three in the batting order. Aubrey Swanepoel will come in at number five and he is capable of scoring quick runs whatever the match situation.
With the ball, Knights made good use of the new ball to have Dolphins 11/2 before the end of the second over in Match 22 and they will need to be quick out of the traps again in this clash. Johannes van Dyk and Sithembile Langa are likely to be their most dangerous bowlers in this must win game.
Knights Predicted Playing XI:
Jacques Snyman, Lesego Senokwane, Rilee Rossouw, Patrick Botha, Aubrey Swanepoel, Tiaan van Vuuren, Gihahn Cloete (wk), Aaran Phangiso (c), Johannes van Dyk, Malusi Siboto, Sithembile Langa

WPR vs KNG Pitch Report
Newlands in Cape Town is a fantastic venue to watch cricket of any format and we can expect a surface which should bring plenty of runs on Friday evening. There will be pace and bounce in the wicket as well as some turn for the spinners and whoever bats first will be aiming to reach at least 175.
