Match Details:
The 28th match of the Momentum One-Day Cup 2020 will be played between Dolphins and Lions at the Senwes Park in Potchefstroom.
The match starts at 1:30 PM local time (11:30 AM GMT) (5:00 PM IST).
Preview:
Dolphins are currently at the top position in the league table with 30 points. Their five-match winning streak came to a halt in the previous game against Warriors. It was nothing but a bad day for Dolphins in Momentum Cup 2020. They are expected to come out with brilliant performance in the upcoming match. They boast a strong batting line up that comprises of Sarel Erwee, Grant Roelofsen, Marques Ackerman, who have done an impressive job with the bat.
They have been consistently scoring runs for their side. On the other hand, their bowling unit also looks pretty much on the mark that has managed to restrict opponents from scoring runs. Lions are not far behind from Dolphins as they are 2nd in the league table with 24 points.
They have suffered back to back defeats in their previous outings before their previous game that got abandoned due to rain. However, they would be eager to get back on the winning ways by winning an encounter against Dolphins. But, one thing is for sure that the fans will get an enthralling encounter between the two heavyweights.
Weather Condition/Report:
The weather forecast says that there is a 25% probability of rain on Friday. The wind will be blowing at a rate of 11 to 13 km/hr whereas the temperature will hover between 14 and 26 Degree Celsius throughout the day according to Accuweather.
Pitch Condition/Report:
The track at Senwes Park is expected to offer a good battle between bat and ball. This ground has hosted only one game in this edition of Momentum Cup in which the side batting first managed a score of 304 runs and it was chased by the side batting second. So, the team winning the toss will look to bat first to be on the safer side. Also, the bowlers will get some assistance from the wicket but only in the early phase of the game.
