In the midst of this competition, Kwazulu-Natal, after securing a victory in their opening match, suffered back-to-back defeats, and they are now on the hunt for redemption. Boland, on the other hand, is yet to secure their first victory, with two losses and one abandoned match in their record. In this clash, both teams are determined to get back on the winning track.

Boland put on a remarkable show in their previous game, posting an imposing total of 323 runs in their allotted 50 overs. Pieter Malan led the way with a superb 171-run knock, ably supported by Keegan Peterson, who contributed 121 runs in their formidable 233-run partnership.
