T20

Cricket Club Ground

Limpopo will lock horns with Eastern Storm in the CSA T20 Knock-Out Competition and the sides will be hosted at Cricket Club Ground, Polokwane. Meeting on October 2, 2024, the clash is set to commence at 4:30 P.M IST.

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%

Skipper and opener Kabelo Sekhukhune recovered rather quickly after an unfortunate four-ball duck in the first match of the season. With a first wicket stand of one run during the match, he made sure to knock it out of the park along with Christopher Britz in the next two fixtures, having scored 133 and 71 runs together. To top it off, Sekhukhune and Britz have averages of 42.33 and 48.33, respectively, in the competition thus far. Another big collaboration is on the cards for this explosive duo.

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.

Weather Report

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

Limpopo had yet another opening combination in the tournament as they tested out a third different lineup in the last match. 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. While this is quite impressive despite the amount of changes they have made, Eastern Storm’s first wicket has paid dividends since they stuck with Kabelo Sekhukhune and Christopher Britz despite a one-run partnership in the first match. 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.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Eastern Storm

Limpopo made a terrible start to their campaign but they salvaged it immediately by winning the following two fixtures. They have the potential to take the fight to the top as they currently enjoy third place, albeit with a disconcerting net run rate of -0.252. Eastern Storm, though, have made no misstep whatsoever and deservedly took the top spot with a brilliant net run rate of 0.651. Although the fight between the two could be rather tight, Eastern Storm are expected to take victory and make it four in a row.
