Team Previews

Boland Preview

Boland (Rocks) have shown glimpses of brilliance in the tournament but have struggled with consistency, particularly in their batting department. The opening pair of Blayde Capell and Grant Roelofsen has been underwhelming, averaging just 20 runs in six innings. However, Gavin Kaplan has been a standout performer at number three, scoring 146 runs in four games at an impressive average of 48. He is one of the only two Boland batters to score a half-century this season and will be crucial in stabilizing the innings.

In the middle order, Aviwe Mgijima has been a reliable contributor with both bat and ball, scoring 83 runs and taking five wickets in three games. Skipper Clyde Fortuin is going through a rough patch, but his experience will be vital in guiding the team. Michael Copeland has also shown promise, scoring 65 runs in three games, including a strong performance in the last match.

The bowling attack, led by Imran Manack, has been Boland’s strength. Manack is the tournament’s leading wicket-taker with 11 scalps at an average of 10.81. Shaun von Berg has also been effective, contributing with both bat and ball. If Boland’s batsmen can step up, they have the bowling firepower to restrict North West.

North West Preview

North West have relied heavily on their top-order batters to deliver in the tournament. Janneman Malan, with 144 runs in four innings at an average of 36, has been their most consistent performer. His experience of playing 22 ODIs for South Africa adds depth to the lineup. Matthew Kleinveldt has been their leading run-scorer with 152 runs in four games, while skipper Wihan Lubbe has shown his ability to accelerate with a strike rate of 113.

However, the middle order, including Tahir Isaacs and Lesiba Ngoepe, has been inconsistent. Isaacs has managed just 28 runs in three games, and the team will need more contributions from the lower order to post competitive totals.

The bowling attack has been led by Kerwin Mungroo, who has taken 10 wickets at an average of 12.60. Ruan de Swardt has also been effective with eight wickets, but the rest of the bowlers have struggled to make an impact. North West will need a collective effort to challenge Boland’s balanced lineup.
