City Oval, Pietermaritzburg

KwaZulu-Natal Inland and Limpopo are going to face off for the second time ever in the CSA Provincial One-Day Challenge Division Two on February 19, 2025. They will meet at City Oval, Pietermaritzburg, and the match is scheduled to begin at 1:00 P.M IST.

KwaZulu-Natal Inland vs Limpopo Chances of Winning

KwaZulu-Natal Inland made a strong start to their campaign with a victory over Mpumalanga Rhinos last time out. The former were put in to bat first and they made the most of it by piling on 256 runs. Their revamped squad made a major difference as Jack Lees, Sean Gilson and Chad Laycock top-scored for the team with 63, 51 and 47 runs, respectively. Although the total was not the best they could have done, the bowlers came in clutch as they bundled out the opposition for a mere 161 and took a staggering 95-run triumph.

This was not the case for Limpopo whose batting order struggled to make up ground against South Western Districts in the previous game and the former were bowled out for a measly total of 188. Barring Jan Coetzer’s 49 and Louren Steenkamp’s 48, the rest of the team did not help much and the bowlers were left stranded with a terrible score. Even though they managed to capture six wickets, South Western Districts were able to make it over the line.

KwaZulu-Natal Inland vs Limpopo Betting Tips

Limpopo to score high before first dismissal

Limpopo’s first wicket struggled a great deal in the 2023 season when Liam Peters opened alongside Ludwig Kaestner and the former was completely out of form. He failed to put on even mediocre performances and the skipper was left to pick up the slack, which resulted in paltry opening scores of 1, 32, 0, 21 and 7 runs in the last three games of the season. However, this time, the team promoted Louren Steenkamp up the order to open with the captain and it paid dividends as they secured a 63-run partnership. During the previous season, Steenkamp and Kaestner were the top two batters of the team with averages of 54.66 and 34.16, respectively, and the opening wicket is safe in their hands.

KwaZulu-Natal Inland vs Limpopo Toss Prediction

City Oval was slated to host three matches in the Division One last season but one was abandoned without a ball bowled. In the remaining two games, the teams batting and fielding first took one win apiece but the toss winners elected to field first on both occasions. Fielding first remains the sought after option on this surface, especially with an average first innings stand of 189 in the 2023 season.

Weather Report

The weather is not particularly favorable at Pietermaritzburg on match day with a 65% likelihood of rain along with a maximum temperature of 19 degrees Celsius.

KwaZulu-Natal Inland vs Limpopo Betting Odds

Limpopo to have a better opening partnership than KwaZulu-Natal Inland

KwaZulu-Natal Inland have a new opening lineup with Jack Lees and Kagiso Rapulana in the present tournament, and the pair put on a stand of 37 runs in the last match against Mpumalanga Rhinos. It was largely the former’s effort and their ability to keep this up remains uncertain. On the other hand, Limpopo have a seasoned opening duo with Louren Steenkamp and skipper Ludwig Kaestner. Their partnership was a major success against South Western Districts last time out, having added 63 runs to the first wicket. There is a noticeable disparity between the teams’ opening wickets and the bookmakers expect Limpopo to have the upper hand in the upcoming encounter.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

KwaZulu-Natal Inland

Limpopo have not improved much since their previous season where they edged out just two wins in seven matches, and their performance in the last outing was completely off the mark. Their defeat placed them fifth on the points table with an awful net run rate of -0.637, and they have a massive uphill task to give the other teams a fight. KwaZulu-Natal Inland are comfortably second in the standings with a brilliant net run rate of 1.900 and the bookmakers, naturally, favor them to overcome Limpopo.
