We are backing Matabeleland Tuskers with some confidence. At 65% to win, they are strong favourites, and Mid West Rhinos will need their best game to cause an upset.
Matabeleland Tuskers come in with the better form, having won four of their last five games, while Mid West Rhinos have won one of their last three. Their results this season back this up: Matabeleland Tuskers are 1st in the table, Mid West Rhinos 4th.
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 260, and anything well above that should put the batting side in control.
