Uplands College Ground

Mpumalanga and Easterns battle out in match 8 of the CSA T20 Knockout competition 2025 on Saturday, 1st Novemeber. The match is slated to be played at the Uplands College Ground, White River in Mpumalanga and the scheduled start time is 4:30 PM IST.

Mpumalanga vs Easterns Chance of Winning

Mpumalanga had a tough start last season but finished strong, securing two wins in their final two league matches against Border and the Tuskers. They ended the campaign with two victories and three defeats, ultimately finishing sixth. They will be aiming to carry that winning momentum into the new season. Their first match was unfortunately washed out due to rain against Border after they made a solid start with the bat, scoring 127/2 in 13.1 overs. Their skipper, Zakir Kathrada, played a magnificent unbeaten knock of 68 runs off 42 balls before rain forced the game to be called off.

Last season, Easterns were the runner-up, losing the final to the Tuskers by seven wickets after scoring only 129/9 while batting first, a total that gave them no real chance to bounce back. Their opening match of this year's edition against the Northern Cape was washed out. They had been bowled out for a mere 103 runs in 14.1 overs. Brayden Hicks was the only batter to pass 15 runs, finishing with 46 runs from 24 balls, while the rest of the lineup collapsed like a pack of cards. The rain interruption, therefore, was a blessing in disguise for the Easterns, who earned a valuable point.

Mpumalanga vs Easterns Prediction & Betting Tips 2025

However, Sekhukhune boasts a really good record against Mpumalanga, having scored 87 runs in two matches with an average of 43.5 and has two forty plus scores. Given his strong history against these opponents, we predict Sekhukhune will score over 20 runs in this match.

Mpumalanga vs Easterns Betting Odds

Mpumalanga to have a better opening partnership than Easterns

Mpumalanga's opening pair of Zakir Kathrada and Gareth Dukes scored 56 runs for the first wicket in the last match against Border. In contrast, the Easterns' opening pair of Christopher Britz and Kabelo Sekhukhune added just four runs. Given the way both teams' openers performed in the last match, Mpumalanga's openers appear much more solid and in better form than the Easterns' openers. We therefore back Mpumalanga's openers to have a better opening partnership than the Easterns in the upcoming game.

Mpumalanga vs Easterns Top Batters

Zakir Kathrada to be the Top Batter for Mpumalanga

The skipper of Mpumalanga scored a scintillating knock of 68 runs off 42 balls, smashing eight fours and four sixes. He looked to be in superb touch and could have gone all the way for a much bigger score, but rain unfortunately played spoilsport. The way he batted in the last match shows the kind of form he is in at the moment. We back him to lead his team from the front in this fixture and carry on from where he left off in the last match.

Kabelo Sekhukhune to be the Top Batter for Easterns

Kabelo Sekhukhune had a tough outing in the last match against the Northern Cape where he managed to score only two runs in four balls. Sekhukhune has a really good record against Mpumalanga where he scored 87 runs in 2 matches, averaging 43.5 and has been the top batter in one of the matches. We back him to bounce back in this fixture and play a match winning knock for the Easterns.

Mpumalanga vs Easterns Top Bowlers

Gareth Dukes to be the Top Bowler for Mpumalanga

Gareth Dukes was the leading wicket-taker for Mpumalanga last season, finishing with a total of 9 wickets in five matches. He achieved an average of 17.44 and an economy rate of 7.85. He is one of the key bowlers for Mpumalanga in both the Powerplay and death overs. We back him to start his season with a bang and bowl a match-winning spell against the Easterns.

Andrew Rasemene to be the Top Bowler for Easterns

Andrew Rasemene bowled some match-winning spells for the Easterns last season, where he picked up a total of 11 wickets in six matches at an average of 15.81 and an economy rate of 7.30. He also has a good record against Mpumalanga, having picked up three wickets in two matches. Given his form, we back Rasemene to be the top bowler for the Easterns in this fixture.
