Newlands, Cape Town.

On February 19, 2025, Western Province and North West will meet in the CSA Provincial One-Day Challenge Division One at Newlands, Cape Town. The action is set to kick off at 4:30 P.M IST.

Western Province vs North West Chances of Winning

Reigning champions Western Province did not make the strongest start to defend their title as they lost the opening match of the tournament to Lions. With the latter batting first, Western Province were tasked with chasing down 259 runs. Although this was not a particularly difficult feat to accomplish, Western Province’s batting lineup were unable to withstand the pressure. Most of the top order were sent packing with very few runs scored but Edward Moore brought some stability to the innings with a knock of 66. Skipper George Linde aided their chase by scoring a half-century of his own with 55 runs but the rest of the team did not help enough and they ended up getting bundled out for 219, resulting in a 40-run loss.

North West, on the other hand, had a relatively easy outing against Knights in the first game where they had to chase down a total of 257. It was not a particularly demanding chase and opener Janneman Malan kicked off the innings with a strong 90-run knock. Fellow opener Matthew Kleinveldt scored 42 and helped alleviate the burden from the rest of the team. The others managed to make up the deficit and even though they lost six wickets in the process, they succeeded in completing the chase.

Western Province vs North West Betting Tips

North West to score high before first dismissal

During the 2023 season, North West’s opening wicket took a blow towards the end due to Meeka-eel Prince’s inconsistency but for the most part, his partnership with Lesego Senokwane was working well. In the last five games of the tournament, the pair notched up totals of 2, 17, 41, 115 and 37 runs before the first dismissal. In the first match of the present season, Janneman Malan and Matthew Kleinveldt smashed it out of the park with a 69-run stand before the latter was out. Since the team is able to maintain their momentum and keep setting up competent scores, their partnership is expected to flourish in the next game, too.

Western Province vs North West Toss Prediction

The pitch at Newlands is batting friendly and the teams batting first are usually able to make the most of it by securing a big total. In the previous season, two out of three games went in favor of those setting the target and the first match of the ongoing season between Lions and Western Province also resulted in victory for the former who elected to bat first. Considering the surface is more conducive to the batters, the toss winning side will want to bat first in the next game.

Weather Report

There is no forecast for rain on the day of the match and Cape Town is expected to be mostly sunny with the temperature reaching 28 degrees Celsius.

Western Province vs North West Betting Odds

North West to have a better opening partnership than Western Province

Western Province’s Valentine Kitime and Daniel Smith were not able to do much for the team’s first wicket in the last outing against Lions, seeing as they scored just four runs before the latter was out. This was not the case for North West whose openers, Janneman Malan and Matthew Kleinveldt, both pulled their weight and added 69 runs to the first wicket against Knights. North West’s openers are expected to continue to excel in the upcoming game as well and outgun Western Province’s first partnership.
