Recreation Ground, Oudtshoorn

On February 19, 2025, Mpumalanga Rhinos and South Western Districts are poised to clash in the CSA Provincial One-Day Challenge Division Two. Their encounter is scheduled to be held at Recreation Ground, Oudtshoorn, with a start time of 1:30 P.M IST.

Mpumalanga Rhinos vs South Western Districts Chances of Winning

There has evidently been no change in Mpumalanga Rhinos’ form as they lost terribly at the hands of KwaZulu-Natal Inland in the first outing. The latter’s target of 256 was not a daunting score to chase down but the Mpumalanga-based team made a mess of it by losing several wickets in succession. Opener Karabo Mogotsi was the only contributor from the top and middle order combined with 29 runs while Hermann Rolfes top-scored with 48 runs. Since the other batters lost their wickets with virtually no runs scored, the team were eventually bundled out for 161 which led to a whopping 95-run defeat.

South Western Districts’ last match against Limpopo was truncated due to the rain but the latter put on a dismal batting display with a mere 188 runs on the board. South Western Districts were guaranteed a victory but they made life difficult for themselves by losing more wickets than necessary. The top and middle order did much of the work and wicket-keeper batter Luke Beaufort brought some stability to the innings with a solid 51-run knock. Naturally, South Western Districts took victory by four wickets.

Mpumalanga Rhinos vs South Western Districts Betting Tips

Mpumalanga Rhinos to score high before first dismissal

Mpumalanga Rhinos’ first wicket did not get off to the best start as Jurie Snyman faced an uncharacteristic early dismissal, leading to a total of seven runs with fellow opener Karabo Mogotsi. However, the former was truly a force to be reckoned with in the 2023 season and will be expected to return much stronger in the next game. Mpumalanga Rhinos’ openers were a tad inconsistent in the last season as they added 64, 4, 9, 8 and 36 runs to the first wicket in the last five fixtures. Despite their unappealing opening stand in the first match, they are anticipated to do well at the second time of asking.

Mpumalanga Rhinos vs South Western Districts Toss Prediction

Recreation Ground is a high scoring ground with two 300+ totals in the 2023 season of the competition. Three matches were played overall with an average first innings score of 269 but the teams batting first have the upper hand with two wins. The toss winning skipper is going to be keen to set the target in the next encounter.

Weather Report

The weather will remain pleasant at Oudtshoorn with a minimal 10% likelihood of rainfall and partially overcast skies. The temperature is set to reach 31 degrees Celsius.

Mpumalanga Rhinos to have a better opening partnership than South Western Districts

Mpumalanga Rhinos’ first wicket stand was not impressive in the last game against KwaZulu-Natal Inland where Jurie Snyman’s failure to score big led to a meager total of seven runs. However, he is a power-hitter and has the potential to bounce back quickly. Although Kyle Jacobs and Pheko Moletsane had a significantly better partnership for South Western Districts as they piled on 65 runs before the fall of the first wicket, Mpumalanga Rhinos’ openers are endorsed to come good in the next match.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

South Western Districts

Mpumalanga Rhinos have been a weak team for quite some time, especially since they finished the 2023 season at the absolute bottom of the table with two wins in seven games. Their performance in the last match was also miserable and once again, they have shown no resolve whatsoever. Even though South Western Districts took a feeble victory in the previous match, they are placed fourth in the standings with a net run rate of 0.637. Moreover, they have beaten Mpumalanga Rhinos in both of their head-to-head games so far, making South Western Districts the match favorites.
