Eastern Storm vs South Western Districts Chances of Winning

Eastern Storm’s streak of losses have seen no respite this season and they lost at the hands of Northern Cape during the previous encounter. The latter’s total of 311 was not a particularly daunting task but Eastern Storm made a mess by getting themselves bowled out for 146. Naturally, Northern Cape used this opportunity to extend their gap by adding 286 more runs to the board. However, Eastern Storm could not withstand the pressure and they were bundled out for 97, losing by a margin of a whopping 354 runs.

South Western Districts, too, were on the losing side against Northern Cape in their last outing. The former started with a competitive batting performance, having piled on 341 runs in the first innings - Yaseen Valli was the top scorer with 75 runs while George Van Heerden, Luke Beaufort and Kelly Smuts were not far off with scores of 70, 66 and 58 runs, respectively. Northern Cape surpassed the target with 370 runs and South Western Districts scored an additional 201 runs. This was not enough, though, as Northern Cape ended up chasing it down with four wickets to spare.

South Western Districts to score high before first dismissal

Right from the start, Yaseen Valli and Kyle Jacobs have been in a league of their own with excellent opening partnerships.

Their knocks are overwhelmingly on the higher side which makes them a highly reliable duo to take a punt on.

Eastern Storm vs South Western Districts Toss Prediction

Even though the teams batting and fielding first have taken home one win each at Willowmoore Park so far, the batters have a massive advantage on this track.

Eastern Storm vs South Western Districts Betting Odds

South Western Districts to have a better opening partnership than Eastern Storm

Eastern Storm have had no luck at the front as they have tried out various openers but none of them seem to be bringing in the desired results. In the last three games, they have had two different opening lineups and neither of them were able to make an impact as they secured totals of 2, 2, 5, 2, 0 and 0. They absolutely pale in comparison to South Western Districts’ first wicket as Yaseen Valli and Kyle Jacobs have smashed it out of the park with scores of 71, 42, 95, 46, 9 and 41* runs in the previous three outings. Needless to say, the latter are expected to put on a better performance than Eastern Storm’s openers.
