Dolphins Team News & Playing 11
Their batting is going to rely heavily on Morne van Wyk who has scored the most runs for the team this Ram Slam at an average of 64. The opening batsman smashed a brisk fifty in the last game against the Titans and he will be crucial to the team's chances with the bat. Keshav Maharaj and Imran Tahir both have taken six wickets apiece and it will be up to this spin duo to restrict the Cobras in this match.

Dolphins vs Cobras 2nd Semi-final Prediction
Both teams are pretty evenly matched on paper and there is very little to choose between the two. Both have won 12 matches each out of the 25 they have played against each other in the past with one of those having resulted in a tie. However, the Dolphins seem to have a slight upper hand here as they are playing on their home ground and also because they have beaten the Cobras two times in their last three completed attempts. We thus predict the Dolphins to win this match.
Final Verdict: Back the Dolphins to beat the Cobras at 2 on 1xbet and 1.90 on Bet365.
