Dolphins Team News & Playing 11
DOL Team News
Khaya Zondo captained Dolphins in the last season and he is expected to lead them this year as well. The confirmation on the team's captain, however, will be made on Friday. Morne van Wyk and Sarel Erwee could open the batting while Senuran Muthusamy and Khaya Zondo are expected to bat at numbers three and four respectively.
DOL Key Players
Morne van Wyk and Sarel Erwee will probably open the batting and these two are going to be the key figures for Dolphins. Morne van Wyk had smashed an unbeaten 70 off 43 balls against the Knights last season and the team will want him to replicate that form on Friday. Erwee has delivered many impressive performances with the bat for Dolphins in the past and he will look to start off with a big knock. Khaya Zondo is another batsman in this line-up with the potential of playing a big innings. Andile Phehlukwayo can fetch his team some crucial runs with his hard-hitting and he will also be the one to watch out for with the ball as well. Robbie Frylinck was the most impressive of their bowlers last time with seven wickets in nine matches and he together with Mthokozisi Shezi could trouble the Knights with the new ball.
DOL Recent Form
The Dolphins had a pretty successful season last time as they went on to be crowned runners-up. Despite five of their league-stage matches being washed out, they still managed to finish second on the points table with three wins and two losses. Their semi-final game against Cape Cobras also had to be abandoned due to rain and they automatically advanced to the final having finished one place above the Cobras on the leaderboard. The Dolphins then suffered a heavy seven-wicket defeat against the Titans in the title clash.
Dolphins Predicted Playing 11
Morne van Wyk (wk), Sarel Erwee, Senuran Muthusamy, Khaya Zondo (c), Andile Phehlukwayo, Sibonelo Makhanya, Robbie Frylinck, Vaughn van Jaarsveld, Prenelan Subrayen, Okuhle Cele, Mthokozisi Shezi
Knights Team News & Playing 11
KNG Team News
Rudi Second, who led the Knights in the recently concluded Momentum One Day Cup, is expected to lead the team in this CSA T20 Challenge 2019. The Knights have not officially announced their captain as of now and the confirmation will probably be made on the match day itself. Shadley van Schalkwyk, Ottniel Baartman, Eddie Leie and Mbulelo Budaza are likely to make up the team's bowling attack.
KNG Key Players
The Knights will bank on their opening pair of Patrick Kruger and Rudi Second along with Keegan Petersen and Grant Mokoena as far as their batting is concerned. Rudi Second is in a very good form with scores of 74, 71*, 36, 49 and 55 in his last five innings in the recently concluded Momentum One Day Cup. Patrick Kruger has six half-centuries in the T20 format and the team will expect him to make a strong contribution at the top of the order. Shadley van Schalkwyk, Eddie Leie and Ryan McLaren are the main threats in this bowling group. Schalkwyk finished amongst the tournament's top five bowlers last season with 11 wickets and the Knights will back him to hurt the Dolphins early in their innings. Ryan McLaren has plenty of international experience under his belt and he will make the batsmen work hard for their runs.
KNG Recent Form
The Knights had a disastrous season in 2017 where they finished at the bottom of the standings at the end of the league round with just two wins from ten matches. They did start off well, winning two of their first three completed matches, but their campaign fell apart thereafter as they failed to secure a single win in their next six matches. The Knights played their last match against the Lions which had to be called off due to bad weather.
Knights Predicted Playing 11
Rudi Second (c/w), Patrick Kruger, Raynard van Tonder, Grant Mokoena, Keegan Petersen, Ryan McLaren, Luthando Mnyanda, Ottniel Baartman, Shadley van Schalkwyk, Eddie Leie, Mbulelo Budaza

Dolphins vs Knights Betting Odds
Dolphins begin as the bookmakers' favorites to win this second match of the CSA T20 Challenge 2019 and they are being offered at odds of 1.61 on Bet365 and 1.54 on Betrally. The Knights are the underdogs for this game at 2.30 on Bet365 and 2.15 on Betrally.
🏆 Dolphins vs Knights Prediction
The Dolphins have come runners-up twice in the last three editions of the tournament while the Knights had a horrible season last time. The Dolphins have the benefit of playing at home and they have even won five of their last eight matches at this ground. They have also beaten the Knights in their most recent encounter which came last season and that should add to their confidence as well. The Knights do have a good-looking bowling attack but their batting appears to depend heavily on Rudi Second and Patrick Kruger. They have been giving underwhelming performances of late in the T20 format which is why we are backing the Dolphins to win this match.
