Western Province vs Warriors Chance Winning
Western Province and Warriors are set to lock horns in a crucial match towards their hopes of making it to the semifinals of the CSA T20 Challenge. Warriors, who are reeling at the second last spot with four points from three games and a negative net run-rate of -1.192, can't afford any more losses. Western Province are in a better position with seven points in three matches and the net run-rate reading 0.733.
Western Province are coming off a dominant seven-wicket victory over Titans, where they earned a bonus point. George Linde, Wesley Bedja, and Mihlali Mpongwana picked two wickets each and conceded just 59 runs in 10 overs between them to restrict the opponents to 143. The chase didn't get off to an ideal start as they were reduced to 43/3 inside eight overs but Edward Moore produced a sublime knock of 88 not-out in 47 deliveries to finish the game with 26 balls to spare.
Warriors suffered a 16-run defeat at the hands of Knights in their previous game at St George's Park. Siya Simetu was the standout bowler for Warriors, picking 2 for 18 in four overs while Patrick Kruger bagged 2 for 24 in three. Chasing 167, Matthew Breetzke and Jordan Hermann provided a 108-run opening stand. Breetzke smashed 66 off 46 while Hermann made 51 runs in 48 deliveries. However, their middle order failed and a collapse meant that they fell short of the target.

- Western Province’s chance of winning: 41%
- Warriors's chance of winning: 59%
