Border vs Mpumalanga Rhinos Chances of Winning

Border suffered their first defeat of the season in the previous match against KwaZulu-Natal Inland where the latter batted first and secured a brilliant total of 324 runs. This put a great deal of pressure on Border’s batters who struggled to reach the target. Skipper and opener Jerome Bossr top-scored with 101 runs while Jason Niemand followed closely behind with a half-century, having amassed 54 runs. Barring their contributions, the rest of the batters did virtually nothing and the entire team found themselves bundled out for 222. This led to a whopping 82-run defeat via the D/L method.

Mpumalanga Rhinos, on the other hand, took yet another victory as they took on Eastern Storm in the last match. The latter batted first and posted a score of 203 on the board before they were bowled out. This made life incredibly easy for Mpumalanga Rhinos who were able to chase it down with ease. Yassar Cook and Benjamin van Niekerk were the leading contributors with 67 and 41 runs, respectively. They were 193/6 when the match was interrupted by the rain but they ended up taking victory by four wickets through the D/L method.

Border vs Mpumalanga Rhinos Betting Odds

Border to have a better opening partnership than Mpumalanga Rhinos @ 1.72 (Parimatch)

Mpumalanga Rhinos’ openers saw a sudden downturn in performance in the last game against Eastern Storm where Jurie Snyman and Zakir Kathrada failed to secure a partnership, owing to the former’s three-ball duck. However, they were going at a steady pace in the two matches prior to that where they scored 69 and 65 runs. Nathan Roux and Jerome Bossr’s partnership for Border, though, remains more stable as the openers added 32, 107 and 27 runs to the first wicket. Since the latter have proven to be more reliable, the bookmakers rally behind them to achieve a better first partnership than Mpumalanga Rhinos.
