LC de Villiers Oval

South Africa Emerging Players and South Western Districts are going to lock horns for the second time ever in the CSA Provincial One-Day Challenge Division Two on February 26, 2025. Their encounter is slated to be held at LC de Villiers Oval, Pretoria, at 1:30 P.M IST.

South Africa Emerging Players vs South Western Districts Chances of Winning

South Africa Emerging Players continue to extend their losing streak as they wound up defeated at the hands of Mpumalanga Rhinos in the last game. The former were the first to bat but their total of 245 was not particularly convincing. Lethabo Phahlamohlaka was the only one who made a valuable contribution with 57 runs and the other batters were a let-down. Naturally, Mpumalanga Rhinos had an easy chase ahead of them and they completed it with seven wickets still in hand.

South Western Districts, too, are in terrible shape at the moment as they suffered their second defeat in a row against Northern Cape last time out. The former’s batting performance was particularly awful as they were all out for a mere 142, out of which Kelly Smuts contributed 68 runs single handedly. The bowlers did their absolute best by toppling five wickets but there was no stopping Northern Cape with such a meager total on the board.

South Africa Emerging Players vs South Western Districts Betting Tips

South Western Districts to score low before first dismissal

Kyle Jacobs and Pheko Moletsane have both been out of form and after their 65-run stand in the first match, the pair have absolutely not been able to help the team lay down a solid foundation. Their individual performances took a hit which resulted in totals of 12 and 5 in the previous two games. They are not expected to do any better in the next match either.

South Africa Emerging Players vs South Western Districts Toss Prediction

LC de Villiers Oval hosted their first match in the CSA Provincial One-Day Challenge earlier this season between Eastern Storm and South Africa Emerging Players where the latter chose to field first. Although they lost the match, it was a bit of an aberration since the surface does not support high scores and chasing becomes easy. For the next game, fielding first will remain the top choice.

Weather Report

Despite partly cloudy skies at Pretoria, there is no forecast for rain and the temperature is expected to touch 28 degrees Celsius.

South Africa Emerging Players vs South Western Districts Betting Odds

South Africa Emerging Players to have a better opening partnership than South Western Districts

South Western Districts’ Kyle Jacobs and Pheko Moletsane have not been very impactful for the team’s opening order and their performance has only gone downhill in the season so far. They kicked off their campaign with an opening partnership of 65 runs but in the following two games, they only scored 5 and 12 runs together. Although Ludwich Schuld and Jorich Van Schalkwyk have shown a bit of inconsistency with scores of 57, 2 and 25 runs in South Africa Emerging Players’ last three matches, they are in better shape at the moment and have the capacity to outperform South Western Districts’ first wicket.
