KwaZulu-Natal Inland vs Warriors CSA Four-Day Series Division One 2025-26 Chance of Winning

KwaZulu-Natal Inland lost their first-round matches of the CSA Four-Day Series Division One 2025-26 against North West by eight wickets. On the other hand, Warriors defeated Western Province by 48 runs. Warriors are the second-ranked team after the first round, while Inland are occupying the sixth spot in the eight-team points table.

The early win will give Warriors a lot of confidence and they have a better chance of beating KwaZulu-Natal Inland in their second fixture. Inland scored 399 in their first innings but were bundled out for 98 runs in the second. The high total in the first innings also came on the back of a double hundred from their captain Michael Erlank. Three batters in the top five were dismissed for a single digit score. Seven of their batters were dismissed for single digit scores in the second innings. On the bowling front they leaked 461 runs by taking just eight wickets in the second innings.

The Warriors were decent with the bat and ball in both the innings. The best part was how each of their players chipped in to kick off their campaign on a winning note. No bowler registered a five-fer but the team dismissed the opposition twice all-out. The early psychological edge is going to work in the favour of Warriors.

Prediction & Betting Tips 2025

KwaZulu-Natal Inland middle-order batter Andile Mogakane was one of the rare positives for his team in their first match against North West in the CSA Four-Day Series Division One 2025-26. He scored 67 off 115 in the first innings, and 24 off 33 in the second innings which saw Inlands get bundled out for 98 runs only. The 25-year-old all-rounder looks determined to prove himself this season, and would be a good option to place your bets on to reap rich dividends.

Warriors number eleven Wesley Bedja starred with the bat and ball in his side's first outing of the season against Western Province. He played a crucial 50-run knock off just 33 balls against Western Province, and picked two wickets across the two innings. The all-round ability of Bedja makes him one of the safest players to place your bets on in the upcoming fixture of the CSA Four-Day Series Division One 2025-26.

KwaZulu-Natal Inland vs Warriors Betting Odds

Warriors to score over 19.5 runs before fall of first wicket

Warriors openers Modiri Litheko and Jordan Hermann could partner for just one run in their first innings of the team's first match of the season against Western Province. However, in the second innings, the duo chipped in with a 32-run stand. While Litheko was watchful in both the innings, Hermann showed flair in the second innings with 16 off just nine balls. Their openers partnered for 13 runs in their second-last innings which came in Warriors' last match of the previous season in April this year. The second innings of the same game saw the Warriors openers forge a 66-run stand. KwaZulu-Natal Inland bowlers allowed North West openers to partner for 85 runs in their last match. Inlands bowlers are under pressure, and Warriors openers are showing ominous signs. They should manage to score over 19 runs together.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Warriors

Warriors are more likely to beat KwaZulu-Natal Inland in their second match of the CSA Four-Day Series Division One 2025-26. The season is just kicking off, and Warriors have found an early confidence booster with a 48-run win over Western Province. The team looks more settled, and each of the players ready to contribute equally. That was their scenario in the first round, something which KwaZulu-Natal Inland lacked in both their innings. The batting group is relying heavily on their captain, and the bowlers would be put under pressure against a deep batting line-up of Warriors.
