Knights vs Limpopo Chance of Winning

After finishing near the bottom of the table last season, the Knights began their new campaign with renewed intent and a strong performance. They opened the 2024/25 CSA T20 Knockout with a convincing win over Northern Cape, marking an ideal start to their season. With that victory, they currently sit at the top of the standings with 5 points and an impressive net run rate of 4.650. The team will now aim to maintain their winning momentum and build on this positive start in the upcoming matches.

Limpopo had an up-and-down campaign in the 2024 CSA T20 Knockout Competition, finishing 5th in the standings. Much like previous seasons, they started poorly, losing their opening match to South Western Districts after an underwhelming bowling display. Despite showing moments of fight, inconsistency has continued to be their main concern. They currently sit 3rd in the table with a net run rate of -0.945, and will be eager to deliver a more complete performance in their upcoming fixtures to regain momentum.

Knights vs Limpopo Betting Odds

In their last game of the competition, the Knights delivered a dominant performance against Northern Cape. Batting first, they piled up an imposing total of 223/4, led by a brilliant 97-run knock from Rilee Rossouw, while Cole Abrahams contributed a valuable 54 runs. In response, Northern Cape struggled to handle the Knights’ disciplined bowling attack and were dismissed for just 130 runs, handing the Knights a commanding 93-run victory. The bowling effort was well-rounded, with Snyman, Magala, Mhlanga, and Johannes van Dyk each claiming two wickets, sealing a comprehensive win for the side.

In their last match of the competition, Limpopo faced South Western Districts and posted a competitive total of 160/4 in 20 overs after batting first. Liam Peters (45), Sizwe Masondo (43), and Ludwig Kaestner (35) made key contributions with the bat, helping the team reach a defendable score. However, their bowlers couldn’t contain the opposition, as SWD comfortably chased down the target with 164/2, winning by 8 wickets. For Limpopo, Maphekgola Pootona and Matt Hollard were the only wicket-takers in an otherwise challenging outing for the bowling unit.

Knights vs Limpopo Toss Prediction

The Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein typically offers excellent batting conditions in T20 cricket, featuring a flat surface and a fast outfield that rewards stroke play. Early in the match, especially under cloudy or humid conditions, seamers can extract some movement, but the pitch tends to settle as the game progresses, providing consistent bounce and favouring chasing teams under lights. Therefore, the captain winning the toss is likely to opt for bowling first, hoping to make use of early swing and then pursue the target under improved batting conditions.

Weather Report

The weather at Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein on October 29 is expected to be mixed. Early morning will be mostly cloudy with temperatures around 15–17 °C. Thunderstorms are likely from late morning to early afternoon as temperatures rise to 21–25 °C. Storm chances may persist into the afternoon and early evening, with temperatures slightly easing to 22–23 °C. The evening will remain cloudy, cooling to around 16–20 °C.
