Mpumalanga Rhinos vs Northern Cape Chances of Winning
Mpumalanga Rhinos were scheduled to go up against South Western Districts in the ongoing tournament but their fixture was, unfortunately, abandoned without a ball bowled. They will enter this upcoming match with the prospect of doing better than they did in the CSA Provincial T20 Cup 2024 which was an allround disaster to say the least. They lost four out of six matches in the competition and they were defeated by heavy margins at that. Their net run rate of -1.620 was the worst of any other team and they had absolutely nothing going their way. They are certainly on the backfoot against Northern Cape.
Northern Cape lost a match that was theirs for the taking as they took on Eastern Storm in their first game of the season. The latter posted a formidable total of 171 runs on the scoreboard which Northern Cape approached head-on. During their chase, opener Ernest Kemm set the tone by scoring 39 runs but it was wicket-keeper batter Modiri Litheko who stepped up and scored 79 runs, the highest of the team. It was all going in their favor and all they had to do was keep their head down and make it over the line. However, Eastern Storm’s bowlers stopped their advance by keeping them down to 170 by the end of 20 overs, leading to defeat by a single run.

Mpumalanga Rhinos vs Northern Cape Betting Tips
Northern Cape to score high before first dismissal
Ernest Kemm and Jonathan Vandiar did not make the best start to their campaign as the openers failed to establish a first partnership for the team in the previous outing against Eastern Storm. Nevertheless, they will certainly pick up the pace in the second match, especially since the team pride themselves on setting up opening totals of 63, 15 and 78 runs in the last three matches of the CSA Provincial T20 Cup 2024. With this in mind, Northern Cape’s openers will show more resolve in the next match and secure a competitive first wicket stand.
Mpumalanga Rhinos vs Northern Cape Toss Prediction
In the CSA Provincial T20 Cup 2024, Uplands College held three matches out of which two were won by the teams batting first and the other ended without a result. Surprisingly, the toss winners elected to field first on all three occasions but it did not pan out as expected. Moreover, the average first innings total was 185 after two completed games which is a defendable target, making batting first the favored strategy.
