Diamond Oval, Kimberley

KwaZulu-Natal Inland and Northern Cape’s encounter in the CSA Provincial One-Day Challenge Division Two is slated to be held on March 5, 2025. The sides will be hosted at Diamond Oval, Kimberley, at 1:30 P.M IST.

KwaZulu-Natal Inland vs Northern Cape Chances of Winning

KwaZulu-Natal Inland’s rampage continues as they managed to overcome South Western Districts in the last game. The former were put in to bat first and at first, they were on the backfoot since KwaZulu-Natal Inland were bundled out for a measly 203. The top three batters did the bulk of the scoring and the rest of the lineup failed completely in doing anything worthwhile. Cameron Dean Shekleton top-scored with a half-century, having scored 65 runs. Openers Kagiso Rapulana and Jack Lees followed closely behind with 44 and 37 runs, respectively. It was really the bowlers who stole the show considering they defended such a meager target by bundling out Northern Cape for 157, taking home a solid 46-run win.

Northern Cape, too, have been on a similar trajectory and their last match against Eastern Storm was yet another success. With the latter batting first, they were restricted to 211 which is not a competitive score in this format. Northern Cape took advantage of this and finished the match comfortably; opener Jonathan Vandiar was the leading batter with 60 runs while wicket-keeper batter Modiri Litheko and Abel Mokwena were next in line with 44 and 38* runs, respectively. Northern Cape won with four wickets still in hand.

KwaZulu-Natal Inland vs Northern Cape Betting Tips

KwaZulu-Natal Inland to score high before first dismissal

Jack Lees and Kagiso Rapulana have consistently made improvements to KwaZulu-Natal Inland’s opening wicket since the start of the season. In the four matches that they have completed so far, the pair have added 86, 42, 42 and 37 runs to the first wicket. This is not a small feat and they do not seem to be backing down anytime soon which puts them in a brilliant position going into the upcoming game.

KwaZulu-Natal Inland vs Northern Cape Toss Prediction

Diamond Oval has not been a very batting friendly surface in the tournament and in the two games the venue has hosted this season, the average first innings score of 137 is absolutely terrible. On both occasions, the toss winning skippers elected to field first which is going to be the favorite option in the next match as well.

KwaZulu-Natal Inland vs Northern Cape Betting Odds

KwaZulu-Natal Inland to have a better opening partnership than Northern Cape

Jonathan Vandiar and Ernest Kemm’s partnership for Northern Cape seems to be improving incrementally but it is not enough to compete with KwaZulu-Natal Inland. In the last three games, the openers have secured totals of 36, 24 and 0 before the fall of the first wicket. They pale in comparison to KwaZulu-Natal Inland’s Jack Lees and Kagiso Rapulana who set up first wicket stands of 86, 42 and 42 runs in the previous three encounters. Naturally, the latter’s openers are the favorite pair to come out on top in the next match.

KwaZulu-Natal

KwaZulu-Natal Inland remain the table toppers of the Division Two with four wins in five matches, given that one was abandoned, and they have a stellar net run rate of 1.185. Northern Cape are not too far behind as they are placed second in the standings - they started their campaign with a loss but went on to achieve four back-to-back wins, and they currently have a net run rate of 0.824. Both sides are quite even at this juncture but KwaZulu-Natal Inland are favored since they have a 3-0 dominant record against Northern Cape thus far.
