Match Details:
The 12th match of the Momentum One Day Cup 2021 will be played between Cape Cobras and Warriors at Senwes Park, Potchefstroom.
The match is scheduled to start at 1:30 PM IST (10:00 AM local time) and it will be streamed live on Super Sports and CSN channels.
Preview:
Cape Cobras did the unthinkable by beating the Highveld Lions, who were unbeaten in Pool B so far. The Cobras won an important toss and batted the best way they could. Janneman Malan and Pieter Malan gave the perfect start at the top-order, followed by great cameos by Zubayr and Bird. They need to perform one last time to give it back to the Warriors for their previous defeat and qualify for the next round.
On the other side, Warriors are still ahead of the Cobras in terms of net run rate, but would need to beat them one last time again on Saturday. JJ Smuts’ all-round ability will be the key for the Warriors once again to beat the dangerous-looking Cape Cobras. They outplayed them in their last meeting in a rain-affected game and would like to repeat that performance to qualify for the next round.
