It is close to a coin flip, but our pick is Dolphins, who come out marginally ahead at 54%.

Dolphins come in with the better form, having won three of their last five games, while Eastern Storm have won two of their last five.

The toss could matter here. Chasing has been the better option at this ground, so the captain who calls right may well choose to bowl first. We expect a first-innings score of around 140, and anything well above that should put the batting side in control.

EAS vs DOL Pitch Report

Willowmoore Park, Benoni

Runs have not come easily at Willowmoore Park, where the bowlers usually find something in the surface.

The first-innings average over the last 5 T20 games at this ground is 128, and 113 in the second innings. Anything in the 120-135 range should make a competitive total. Teams chasing have the better record here, 4 wins from 5.

The last 5 first-innings scores here, newest first: 145/8 (SA-E, lost), 149/9 (EAS, lost), 77/9 (LIM-W, lost), 133/5 (EAS-W, won), 103 (EAST). First-innings totals here have ranged from 77 to 149 in that time.

Rain could have a say, with a 88% chance of showers during the match, so a revised target is a real possibility. Toss call: bowl first. The captain who wins it is likely to put the other side in.
