KwaZulu-Natal Inland vs South Africa Emerging Players Chances of Winning

Even though KwaZulu-Natal Inland have had two out six games abandoned this season, including the previous outing against Northern Cape, they are a force to be reckoned with since they won all the remaining matches. Their last completed game against South Western Districts was a masterclass in bowling considering the batters messed up by getting bundled out for 203. The top three batters were the most impactful as Cameron Dean Shekleton, Kagiso Rapulana and Jack Lees scored 65, 44 and 37 runs, respectively. Although the bowlers had a tough job to do, they pulled it off by dismissing the opposition for 157 and taking a 46-run victory.

South Africa Emerging Players, too, had a bit of misfortune as their last outing against Border was abandoned. They tasted success for the first time this season against Limpopo prior to that where South Africa Emerging Players were kept down to precisely 200 runs. Garnett Tarr and Thabile Hlatuka were the top scorers with 71 and 43 runs, respectively, but the bowlers came in clutch as they made sure Limpopo were bundled out for 169, giving the team a 31-run win.

  • South Africa Emerging Players chance of winning - 25%
