Kingsmead, Durban

On March 20, 2025, Dolphins and North West will clash in the CSA 4-Day Series Division 1 and their outing is scheduled to take place at Kingsmead, Durban. The match is slated to commence at 1:30 P.M IST.

Dolphins vs North West Chances of Winning

Dolphins drew their previous game against Boland even though it was shaping up to be a close game. Boland batted first and scored 381 runs while Dolphins were able to amass 319 runs during their attempt to chase it down. Opener Tshepang Dithole kicked off the innings with a brilliant 51-run half-century while wicket-keeper batter Hanu Viljoen and Prenelan Subrayen took it up a notch with 85 and 82 runs, respectively. Boland’s second innings was not quite as successful as the first considering Dolphins’ bowlers restricted them to 156/8 when the match was brought to an end in a draw.

North West, too, got unfortunate with a high scoring draw against Boland last time out where the latter scored a whopping 594 runs. North West persevered and secured 458 runs where Matthew Kleinveldt and Lesiba Ngoepe top-scored with 133 and 118 runs, respectively. Ruan de Swardt also made a valuable contribution of 65* runs but the rest of the team were not particularly helpful. Boland extended their lead with an additional 150 runs but the game ended here due to a lack of time.

• Dolphins chance of winning - 55%
• North West chance of winning - 45%

Dolphins vs North West Betting Tips

North West to score high before first dismissal

North West’s openers did not start the season on the best note considering their performances in the first two matches were rather mediocre. The opening wicket had posted totals of 27, 6, 24 and 12 runs in those games which did not make the cut for the team. However, Matthew Kleinveldt and Janneman Malan revamped their approach and returned to score massive partnerships of 116, 53 and 136* runs in the previous two fixtures. Their drastic upwards momentum and their ability to sustain it puts them in a highly favorable position for the next match versus Dolphins.

Dolphins vs North West Toss Prediction

After three games at Kingsmead this season, the average first innings score of 337 is brilliant and the batters find that they receive great assistance on this surface. The first game was won by the teams batting first while the other two matches were both drawn. Although the toss winners chose to field first twice, it has not been the best option at this venue which makes batting first the top strategy.

Weather Report

The forecast suggests that there is no chance of rain whatsoever at Durban with sunny skies and the temperature reaching 27 degrees Celsius.

Dolphins vs North West Betting Odds

North West to have a better opening partnership than Dolphins

Both teams have competitive openers and they have absolutely knocked it out of the park with stellar performances. For Dolphins, Sarel Erwee and Tshepang Dithole are the mainstay batters and their scores of 30, 43 and 99 runs in the last three games have been quite impressive. However, North West are even further ahead as Matthew Kleinveldt and Janneman Malan opened the last two games, having secured partnerships of 116, 53 and 136* runs. Since the latter are on a different plane this season and their consistency is remarkable, another explosive showing is expected of North West’s openers in the upcoming fixture.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Dolphins

Dolphins’ are a rather substandard team in the tournament this season and their results have been quite difficult to gauge. They started their campaign with a loss but went on to draw two games and one win, currently positioning them in fifth on the points table. North West have virtually nothing to show for themselves after drawing all four games this season as they occupy the penultimate place. Dolphins have a better chance of taking victory in this encounter.
