Can Cobras Maintain their Good Run against Warriors?
The 27th fixture of the ongoing CSA T20 Challenge will see the Warriors go up against Cape Cobras at the St George's Park, Port Elizabeth. The match will be played on December 9 with live action scheduled to begin at 6 PM local time. Before facing each other in this match, both the Warriors and Cobras will be playing the Dolphins and the Knights respectively on December 7.
Toss
The pitch at the St George's Park has been relatively easier to bat on during the second period of play. Toss, therefore, will be the key in this match and whichever team wins it on Friday is more likely to bowl first. Betting on the Warriors should be a wise decision if they bat second. They got to bat second in both their matches here this season and went on to win.

Warriors Team News & Playing 11
Team News
They are likely to retain the same playing eleven that took on the Lions in their previous fixture.
Key Players
Colin Ackermann scored a 41-ball 60 in the reverse fixture and he will be the key batsman for the Warriors alongside JJ Smuts who has scored the most runs for the team this season. Andrew Birch has been the standout performer with the ball. The medium pacer is leading the wicket charts with 17 scalps and we predict him to be the most successful against the Cobras.
Recent Form
So far this season, the Warriors have played two matches at this ground and have emerged winners in both of them. They recorded comfortable victories over the Lions and the Knights in the respective games and are looking a tough team to beat at their home ground.
Warriors Predicted XI
-
JT Smuts, GL Cloete, CA Ingram, CN Ackermann, C Jonker (c), LC Ngoepe, C Fortuin (wk), ACR Birch, SSB Magala, A Gqamane and BD Walters.
Cape Cobras Team News & Playing 11
Team News
The team is free from injuries and is not expected to undergo any changes as far the playing eleven are concerned.
Key Players
The inclusion of JP Duminy has given a boost to an already good-looking batting lineup with Levi, Parnell and Pollard all among the runs. Pollard will be the danger man in the middle order and we predict him to play a big knock in this match. The Warriors are going to find the biggest threats in Kleinveldt and Linde who have taken wickets consistently for the Cobras.
Recent Form
Cape Cobras were brilliant with the bat in their match against the Dolphins last Sunday. After being set a huge target of 179 runs to win, they tracked down the total easily in the end with seven wickets and eight balls to spare.
Cape Cobras Predicted XI
-
RE Levi, WD Parnell, JP Duminy, DJ Vilas (wk), KA Pollard (c), C Tshiki, RK Kleinveldt, GF Linde, A Mgijima, D Paterson and NM Serame.
Warriors vs Cobras Head-to-Head
Cape Cobras and Warriors have met 24 times in the past with the former having won on 16 occasions which makes it an impressive win percentage of 66.66. They have been the better of the two sides in six out of the previous seven head-to-head fixtures. The first of the double-headers of this season was also won by the Cobras.
Warriors vs Cobras Prediction
Considering overall performance, it is the Warriors who have clearly been the stronger side this season. The likes of Andrew Birch, Sisanda Magala and JJ Smuts have stood up to the team's expectations and are performing their roles efficiently. Moreover, the privilege of playing at their home ground where they have been successful this year will do their confidence a world of good.
However, the Warriors have often performed below par against the Cobras and six defeats in the last seven matches against them is a strong evidence of this fact. And now that their batting has been bolstered further with the presence of JP Duminy and Dane Vilas, the Cobras will really fancy their chances here.
Final Verdict: We recommend betting on Cape Cobras to win this match.
