Preview:
In the second match of the 2021 edition of CSA T20 Challenge, Dolphins will take on Cape Cobras. Both these teams were impressive in the last edition of this competition. Cape Cobras finished in the third place with 5 wins, while Dolphins were just 2 points and one place behind them.
They both managed to make it to the semi-finals, but that was all about it, as both were knocked out in the semis. This time around, Dolphins and Cape Cobras will aim to go that one extra mile and make it to the finals. Both teams are fairly balanced and it should be a fascinating watch.
