Warriors vs Dolphins Chances of Winning
It was a sweet ride for the Warriors while it lasted. The Warriors have lost their momentum and lost the last three games. This pushed them to the second position of the table. They would have returned to top of the table on Friday if they had beaten North West but instead could drop to third after this game against Dolphins. The team has 9 wins and 4 losses in 13 games. They have a net run rate of 0.534 and possess 39 points.
Considering Dolphins lost their two opening matches of this year’s tournament, it is quite remarkable that they come into this game with a chance of finishing top of the group stage. Dolphins are placed at the third place of the points table with 8 wins and 4 losses. They have 37 points and a net run rate of 0.908 in the competition. Dolphins have won their last four games and are looking very impressive with their form.

Warriors vs Dolphins Betting Tips
Dolphins to score over 20.5 runs before 1st dismissal (1.85@Parimatch)
Dolphins are having a great campaign but they could use some assistance in their opening order. They have been very inconsistent throughout the tournament. Bryce Parsons and Grant Roelofsen opened for the team before but Khaya Zondo replaced Parsons in the order recently. Roelofsen and Zondo average at 18.72 & 17.20 respectively in the competition. Dolphins scored 36, 6, 36, 57 & 20 runs before their first dismissal in the last five games. In their last clash with Warriors, Dolphins scored 7 runs before their 1st dismissal in the game. That said, Dolphins are expected to bat well in the opening order.

Warriors vs Dolphins Betting Odds
The Warriors' last game against North West was a nightmare for them. Batting first, the Warriors scored 145/7. Matthew Breetzke scored 45 runs in the game. It was an attainable target in 20 overs. Sean Whitehead picked 2 wickets, highest in the team. However, the bowlers could not replicate the performance like in the first half of the competition. North West surpassed the target and won the game by 6 wickets. The Warriors must get back to winning games. This is the last group game before the play-off begins. This is their chance to get back at the competition.
Dolphins snatched a victory in their last game against KwaZulu-Natal Inland. Batting first, KZNI scored 108 runs. The team was happy with their bowling performance. Okuhle Cele picked 4 wickets while Andile Simelane took 3 wickets in the game. Chasing the target, Dolphins scored 112/2, winning the game by 8 wickets. JJ Smuts was the top run-scorer with an innings of an unbeaten 49 in the last game. Dolphins look in stellar form and must carry forward the same to leap ahead of the Warriors after a win in the next game.
