Western Province Preview
Western Province were among the most consistent sides in the 2024 season, finishing third with four wins from seven matches. Their performance this year has shown signs of similar strength, with a good mix of experience and young talent. Edward Moore, the dependable opener, remains the pillar of their batting lineup. His form last season — 328 runs in 8 innings at a strike rate of 141 — speaks volumes about his consistency and ability to accelerate at the right time.
David Bedingham will add muscle to the middle order, while Daniel Smith and Jonathan Bird are expected to provide the stability needed for big totals. The bowling attack looks strong with Wesley Bedja leading the line, supported by Mthiwekhaya Nabe and Beuran Hendricks, who bring accuracy and control in the powerplay and death overs.
If Western Province can maintain their batting composure and bowl with discipline, they will be tough to beat on their home ground.
Predicted XI:
Daniel Smith (wk), Edward Moore, David Bedingham, Jonathan Bird, Valentine Kitime, Joshua van Heerden, Beuran Hendricks (c), Wesley Bedja, Mthiwekhaya Nabe, Jiveshan Pillay, Oliver Whitehead
North West Preview
North West are still finding their rhythm after a narrow 9-run loss to Boland in their opening match. Despite the defeat, there were bright sparks in their lineup. Janneman Malan looked in fine touch with a steady half-century, while Ludwich Schuld provided solid support with 30 off 21 balls.
The team will look to Wihan Lubbe, their captain and standout batter from last season, to lead by example. His 262 runs at a strike rate of 157 in 2024 made him one of the most destructive hitters in the tournament. The middle order will need more contribution from Lesiba Ngoepe and Diego Rosier to build competitive totals.
Bowling remains their key strength, with Shimane Alfred Mothoa taking three wickets in the opener and Caleb Seleka offering valuable control. However, to win against Western Province, they must bowl tighter lines and avoid leaking runs in the powerplay.
Predicted XI:
Meeka eel Prince (wk), Ludwich Schuld, Janneman Malan, Wihan Lubbe (c), Lesiba Ngoepe, Diego Rosier, Dian Forrester, Ruan de Swardt, Jade de Klerk, Caleb Seleka, Shimane Alfred Mothoa
