Limpopo vs Eastern Storm Chances of Winning
Limpopo did not let a defeat in their opening game stop them from making a comeback as they took their second victory in a row against South Western Districts. The latter had the advantage of choosing their strategy and they put Limpopo in to field first but found themselves relegated to a score of 146. This was not a particularly difficult total for Limpopo to chase down and it was made rather easy by the openers, JD Venter and Liam Peters, who scored 64 and 20 runs, respectively. Louren Steenkamp’s unbeaten 35 took the team over the line in the end and they ended up taking victory with six wickets in hand.
Eastern Storm are looking quite invincible at the moment as they made it three for three by beating Mpumalanga Rhinos in the last outing. They batted first and scored 171 which was a defendable total and it was thanks to Kabelo Sekhukhune, Danie Rossouw, Dewan Marais and Christopher Britz who scored 43, 41, 37* and 28 runs, respectively. The bowlers had a relatively simple task on their hands and they delivered what was expected of them as they bundled out the opposition for 148, leading to a 23-run triumph.
- Limpopo chance of winning - 42%
- Eastern Storm chance of winning - 58%

Match Prediction Best Odds
Limpopo vs Eastern Storm Toss Prediction
Cricket Club Ground hosted one match in the present tournament between KwaZulu-Natal Inland and Limpopo where the latter elected to field first but it did not work out in their favor. The first innings total of 162 was not a particularly challenging score to chase but Limpopo were all out of sorts which led to an unseemly defeat. However, this is not likely to deter the toss winners from opting to chase again since the pitch is better suited to the bowlers’ strengths.

Polokwane is set to experience perfectly sunny conditions for cricket with no likelihood of rainfall and the temperature will reach 22 degrees Celsius.

Limpopo vs Eastern Storm Betting Odds
Eastern Storm to have a better opening partnership than Limpopo

With JD Venter and Liam Peters at the front of the pack this time, the duo added 45 runs to the first wicket. In the two matches prior to that, the team posted opening totals of 68 and 25 runs.

The pair went on to collaborate for 133 and 71 runs in the next two fixtures which makes them the favorites for the upcoming encounter.
