Preview:
The defending champions Titans suffered a huge 73-run defeat in the first match of the Momentum One-Day Cup 2020 against the Lions. They will be playing their 2nd straight matches at their home ground in Centurion. They will be hosting Dolphins on Friday who began their campaign with a 94-run win against the Knights. Veteran spinner Imran Tahir starred for the Dolphins with a 4-wicket haul. The Titans will be missing the services of Theunis de Bruyn, Lungi Ngidi and Tabraiz Shamsi against the Dolphins.
Weather Condition/Report:
The Centurion’s SuperSport is expected to receive thunderstorms from the afternoon on Friday which could interrupt the match regularly.
Pitch Condition/Report:
The SuperSport Park continues to be a high-scoring track as three of the previous six MODC matches recorded a 300+ total. During this tournament’s opening game, Lions posted 305 before getting bowled out in the last over. Later in the chase, Titans were bowled out in only 44.5 overs but posted 232. Hence, we can expect another match with 550-run aggregate.

Top Picks:
Rob Frylink was quite economical with the ball against the Knights as he recorded figures of 1/22 in his 7 overs. He is expected to score more runs with the bat given his form across the T20 leagues recently. Sarel Erwee bagged a duck against the Knights but has amassed 855 runs across his last 20 MODC matches including two hundreds and five half-centuries. Erwee came into the tournament having scored hundreds in the last two FC matches for the Dolphins. Imran Tahir claimed a 4-wicket haul continuing his good form with the ball in the MODC. Tahir now has as many as 33 wickets across 16 matches he played since the start of the 2016/17 season.

Expert Advice:
The all-rounder Senuran Muthusamy scored nearly 500 runs and claimed 22 wickets across the last two editions of the One-Day Cup. Surprisingly, he was couldn’t make it to the playing XI in the previous match. He has been named in the playing squad for both matches and hence we can expect him to take the field on Saturday. He is one player who can’t be missed in the fantasy team if he is playing the match.
Probable Winners:
The Dolphins are expected to register their 2nd consecutive win.
