Tap a team to vote.

We are backing Warriors with some confidence. At 63% to win, they are strong favourites, and Boland will need their best game to cause an upset.

Warriors come in with the better form, having won three of their last five games, while Boland have won one of their last five. Their results this season back this up: Warriors are 1st in the table, Boland 5th.

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 155, and anything well above that should put the batting side in control.

WARR vs BOL Pitch Report

Newlands, Cape Town

Conditions at Newlands have been fairly balanced, with neither bat nor ball on top.

Across the last 27 T20 matches here, the side batting first has averaged 155, with chasing teams averaging 141. A score of 145-165 looks like par on this surface. Results have been evenly split: 11 wins for the side batting first and 15 for the chasers.

The last 5 first-innings scores here, newest first: 99 (SWD, lost), 178/9 (WP, won), 174/7 (BOL, lost), 130/7 (EAS, lost), 194/4 (SA-E, lost). Recent games have followed the usual pattern, with the last 5 first innings averaging 155. First-innings totals here have ranged from 81 to 225 in that time.

Spin has done the damage here: slow bowlers have taken 59% of the wickets (26 of 44). Seamers have gone at 8.60 an over and spinners at 7.46, so expect the slower bowlers to be used to control the scoring.

The forecast looks settled: sunny, around 22°C and 51% humidity. Toss call: there is not much in it, but most captains will still choose to chase.
