Preview:
Both Warriors and Cape Cobras had a poor start to their 2021 Momentum One Day Cup campaign. The Cobras started off with a match against Highveld Lions. Batting first, they could only muster up 22 runs, which the Lions chased down with great ease.
Warriors also started their campaign with a defeat against Highveld Lions. They bowled really well to restrict a strong Highveld Lions batting lineup to only 220. However, their batting unit collapsed like nine pins and were bundled out for just 168. Hence, this game is an extremely crucial match for both the sides.
