Venue Details:
Cape Town boasts a balanced track that offers good bounce to both batsmen and bowlers. However, as the match progresses, the wicket might become trickier for batting. A total of 280-300 runs is expected from both teams, indicating a competitive match with challenges for the batsmen.
Toss: To Bowl

Boland, on the other hand, has chased down formidable scores, but they have struggled to win back-to-back matches this season. While they possess the potential to create upsets, Western Province’s consistency and all-around performance make them the favorites for this encounter.
