Limpopo vs South Western Districts Chance of Winning

Limpopo had an inconsistent campaign in the CSA T20 Knockout Competition 2024. The team won three games and lost as many. They finished in 5th place in the standings. Although Limpopo showed flashes of class, particularly with Haasbroek’s all-round contributions, they couldn’t maintain the consistency needed to advance into the knockout phase’s semi-finals. They will look to start their campaign with a win against South Western Districts.

South Western Districts played six matches in the CSA T20 Knockout Competition 2024, managing three wins, two losses, and one no-result due to rain. They accumulated 15 points with a net run rate of around +0.020, finishing third in the standings to qualify for the semi-finals. It was a strong group-stage showing, with three wins from five completed games, including crucial back-to-back victories that sealed their place in the knockouts. However, their campaign came to an end in the semi-final, where they were defeated by the Tuskers and narrowly missed out on a spot in the final.

Limpopo vs South Western Districts Betting Odds

In the 2024–25 CSA T20 Knock-Out Competition, held on 12 October 2024 at the Diamond Oval in Kimberley, Northern Cape Heat delivered a dominant performance against the Limpopo Impalas in Match 19. Batting first, Northern Cape posted an impressive 196/4 in 20 overs. Limpopo, in response, faltered under scoreboard pressure and were bowled out for 116 in 18 overs, struggling to form meaningful partnerships. Northern Cape’s bowlers executed their plans perfectly, with both pace and spin contributing to a comprehensive display. The hosts secured a commanding 80-run victory, significantly strengthening their position in the group standings.

SWD opted to bat first after winning the toss in their semi-final encounter but struggled to build momentum throughout the innings, managing only 120 for 8 in 20 overs. The batting effort was anchored by Yaseen Valli’s 31 off 27 balls and Luke Beaufort’s 28 off 26, though the remainder of the lineup faltered against disciplined bowling. In response, KZN Inland made light work of a revised DLS target of 85, reaching 115 for 2 in 15 overs to secure a 31-run victory (DLS). (Source: ESPN.com) Among SWD’s bowlers, Thomas Kaber was the most effective, returning 1 for 17 from 3 overs at an economy rate of 5.66, while Sintu Majeza remained wicketless despite keeping things relatively tight.

Limpopo vs South Western Districts Toss Prediction

At the Cricket Club Ground in Polokwane, teams winning the toss in T20 matches generally prefer to bowl first. The surface often provides some early movement for pace bowlers, while spinners find assistance as the game progresses, particularly in evening conditions. As the pitch settles, batting becomes easier, and the ball comes nicely onto the bat, making chasing the more favourable option. Therefore, captains are expected to opt for bowling first, using the initial movement before setting out to chase under better batting conditions.

Weather Report

Temperatures in Polokwane are expected to peak around 32 °C during the mid-day to afternoon hours before cooling to 25–27 °C by early evening. The day will remain clear and sunny with almost no cloud cover, creating bright and warm conditions. While the daytime will be ideal for outdoor activities, early mornings and evenings will be noticeably cooler, so carrying a light jacket or extra layer is recommended.
