Limpopo vs Mpumalanga Rhinos Chance Winning

Mpumalanga Rhinos are in a desperate need of a win when they take on Limpopo in their next match of the CSA T20 Knock-Out Competition 2024. Limpopo are in a much better position but need to keep the momentum going for a spot in the semifinals.

Limpopo are third on the table with nine points from four games and a net run-rate of -0.314. They have won and lost two games in the competition so far, with a bonus point in one of those wins. They ran into Eastern Storm in the previous game and lost by 12 runs.

Their bowling unit looked all over the place and could not get through the Eastern Storm opener Christopher Britz, who smashed 111 in 66 deliveries. Chasing a big target of 202, captain Liam Peters scored 44 off 32 while Morne Venter struck 66 off 43. However, the middle order could not provide any support and they fell short of the target.

Mpumalanga Rhinos are reeling at the second last spot on the table with just two points, which were a courtesy of a washed out game. They have lost two games in the season, more recently losing to Eastern Storm by 23 runs.

Rhinos opted to field first but bowlers were largely ineffective as Eastern Storm posted 171 in 20 overs. Gareth Dukes was the standout bowler, picking 2 for 27 in four overs. The run-chase got off to a terrible start with both openers getting dismissed on duck. Nonelela Yikha (37 off 39) and Jurie Snyman (55 off 40) then added 92 runs for the third wicket but fell behind the required rate.

Moving on to this clash, Limpopo are favourites considering the strengths and weaknesses of these two opponents. Check out the two teams' chances of winning this match.

Limpopo vs Mpumalanga Rhinos Betting Odds

Limpopo to hit most sixes @ XX (Batery Bet)

Limpopo have a stronger set of batters with Morne Venter, Liam Peters, Louren Steenkamp and Heinrigh Pieterse looking in good touch. The batting unit has hit 20 sixes in four innings this season and though Rhinos have struck 14 in two innings, you can back Limpopo to hit most sixes here.

Limpopo vs Mpumalanga Rhinos Top Batters

Morne Venter to be the top batter for Limpopo

Morne Venter has been magnificent in the tournament, scoring 253 runs from four innings at an average of 63 while striking at 154. He smashed 115 off 68 against Eastern Cape and followed it up with back to back 60s in the last two games. Betting on him to be the top Limpopo batter seems a safe option.

Jurie Snyman to be the top batter for Mpumalanga Rhinos

Jurie Snyman has been pretty good in the ongoing season for his team. He made 37 off 29 in the second game against Northern Cape and followed it up with a superb 55 off 40 versus Eastern Storm on Wednesday. Back him to be the best batter for Mpumalanga Rhinos in this game.

Limpopo vs Mpumalanga Rhinos Top Bowlers

Don Radebe to be the top bowler for Limpopo

The right arm medium pacer was expensive in the last game but snared 3 for 17 in the earlier game against South Western Districts. Don Radebe has taken 32 wickets from 21 T20 matches at a strike rate of 13.2, including one five-for and a four-for. Bet on him to be the top Limpopo bowler.

Gareth Dukes to be the top bowler for Mpumalanga Rhinos

Mpumalanga Rhinos have a poor bowling unit in the competition and Gareth Dukes’ 7.89 is the best economy for them. He was excellent in the previous game, snaring 2 for 27 in four overs. Betting on him to be the top Mpumalanga Rhinos bowler would be a good punt.
