The Dolphins will bank on their openers Vaughn van Jaarsveld and Sarel Erwee to take them off to a good start. Erwee's temperament has been very impressive and he is one of the season's leading run-scorers with 364 runs at an average of 91. He and Jaarsveld scored 105 and 83 respectively in the last week's reverse encounter at Port Elizabeth and the duo will be expected to replicate that performance. Khaya Zondo and Dane Vilas are the team's biggest hopes with the bat in the middle order. Andile Phehlukwayo has returned to boost both the batting and bowling departments and he will be the key man for the Dolphins on Thursday. The hosts will also look to Okuhle Cele, Prenelan Subrayen and Keshav Maharaj to do a good job with the ball. Okuhle has been the standout with 10 wickets in 6 matches and the fast bowler is coming off a four wicket-haul in the previous rain-abandoned match against the Lions.

Matthew Breetzke, JJ Smuts and Gihahn Cloete have all put out good batting performances throughout the tournament and it will be mainly up to these three to ensure a strong position for the Warriors. Smuts has been the team's top performer this season. The skipper has scored the most runs for his side - 342 runs at an average of around 49 - and has also taken eight wickets at an economy of just under 5. Cloete has a couple of big knocks to his name while Breetzke is coming on the back of an unbeaten 131 against the Cobras. In terms of bowling, the Warriors will need their most reliable bowlers Lutho Sipamla and Sisanda Magala to be at their best on Thursday. Both are amongst the season's top five bowlers with 13 wickets each and they will be crucial to the team's chances of reaching the final. Basheeru-Deen Walters has bowled well on occasions and he too will look to exert some pressure on the Dolphins.

Dolphins are coming into this match as favorites to win at odds of 1.61 on Betway, 1.66 on Bet365 and 1.60 on Betrally. Warriors begin as the bookmakers' underdogs for this second semi-final of the Momentum One Day Cup 2019. They are being offered at a higher price of 2.05 on Betrally and 2.20 on both Betway and Bet365.
Dolphins and Warriors have been two evenly matched teams in this year's Momentum One Day Cup and they have been neck-and-neck in terms of their overall performances. They had to share the trophy in the previous season after the final match between them was washed out, but this time only one of them will be making it to the final. The Dolphins have the home advantage in their favor and having beaten the Warriors recently should further bolster their confidence going into this game. Also, their batting and bowling is set to receive a big boost with the return of Andile Phehlukwayo who has delivered impressive performances on several occasions in this tournament. Although the Warriors too are a pretty tough side, we feel the scales are tipped heavily in favor of the Dolphins.
