Uplands College, White River

On March 5, 2025, Limpopo and Mpumalanga Rhinos are poised to take on each other in the CSA Provincial One-Day Challenge Division Two. Meeting at Uplands College, White River, their clash will commence at 1:00 P.M IST.

Limpopo vs Mpumalanga Rhinos Chances of Winning

Limpopo’s losing streak has no end in sight as they lost to defending champions South Africa Emerging Players in the last encounter. They fumbled an incredibly simple chase and their batting display was embarrassing to say the least. After the bowlers limited South Africa Emerging Players to a total of 200, the chase should have been relatively straightforward but barring opener Louren Steenkamp’s 57, the rest of the team’s contribution was hardly valuable. Their entire batting order ended up getting dismissed with a mere 169 runs on the board, leading to a 31-run defeat.

Mpumalanga Rhinos also suffered a defeat in their previous outing and it put their three-match winning streak to an end. Having faced Border in the last match, Mpumalanga Rhinos were bundled out for a competitive total of 282 on the scoreboard. Opener Jurie Snyman found his feet and notched up a century with 106 runs while skipper Muhammed Mayet and Yassar Cook scored 45 and 43 runs, respectively. However, the bowlers had a tough time defending this score and even though the second innings was interrupted by rain, Mpumalanga Rhinos ended up losing by four wickets via the DLS method.

Limpopo vs Mpumalanga Rhinos Betting Tips

Limpopo to score low before first dismissal

Louren Steenkamp has been the linchpin for Limpopo’s opening wicket, and he was skipper Ludwig Kaestner’s opening partner for the first three matches of the season. However, their partnerships declined over the course of the season as they set up 20, 20 and 63 runs on the board before the first dismissal. In the last game, Steenkamp led the innings with Morne Venter and the pair added a mere 12 runs to the first wicket. This drop in performance is expected to continue as the tournament progresses.

Limpopo vs Mpumalanga Rhinos Toss Prediction

A total of three games have been held at Uplands College in the ongoing season and teams chasing have the advantage with two wins so far. The average first innings total of 235 is on the lower side and is quite easy to attain on this surface. The toss winners, too, concur that fielding first is the first preference since they chose to do so twice, making it the top choice for the upcoming game as well.

Limpopo vs Mpumalanga Rhinos Betting Odds

Mpumalanga Rhinos to have a better opening partnership than Limpopo

Mpumalanga Rhinos and Limpopo both have terrible opening orders in the tournament so far and their first wicket stands have failed to improve with time. For Limpopo, Louren Steenkamp has been their mainstay and he has opened alongside Morne Venter and Ludwig Kaestner, securing totals of 12, 20 and 20 in the last three matches. Even though Jurie Snyman and Zakir Kathrada have been a permanent first partnership for Mpumalanga Rhinos, their consistency is a major problem. In the previous three fixtures, they have added 13, 0 and 69 runs to the first wicket but they remain the favored pair to outdo Limpopo’s openers.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Mpumalanga Rhinos

Limpopo are all but hapless in this competition as they are placed last on the table with four defeats and a net run rate of -0.915. Their batting and bowling performances have both missed the mark completely and they do not have the potential to fight any other team in the tournament this season. Their upcoming rivals, Mpumalanga Rhinos, are in a much better position as they occupy fourth place in the standings with three wins in five fixtures and a net run rate of -0.078. Naturally, the latter are backed by the bookmakers to come out on top.

• Limpopo to win @ 2.42 (Parimatch)
• Mpumalanga Rhinos to win @ 1.48 (Parimatch)
