North West vs Dolphins Betting Tips
Dolphins to score high before 1st dismissal
Dolphins have a spectacular batting unit in the competition. Their opening order have led a few special innings in the competition. Sarel Erwee and Tshepang Dithole opened for the team and averaged at 40.62 & 52.25 respectively in the competition so far. They are in good form and posted scores of 174, 20, 66, 9 & 18 runs before their first dismissal in five matches. Although one of the pair faced early dismissals in the last two games, they possess the adequate batting ability to sustain their innings long in the contest. That said, Dolphins will be expected to score high before their first dismissal in the next game.
North West vs Dolphins Toss Prediction
Potchefstroom is a good scoring venue where the ball will come onto the bat nicely in the first 2-3 days. The ball might stop and seam around in the second innings. We expect the average score to be in the range of 250-350 runs in the match. Both captains will look to bat first and take advantage of good conditions early in the match.
Weather Report
Potchefstroom weather looks bright and sunny and we expect no weather interruptions in the match.
