Knights Team News & Playing 11
Majority of the run-scoring can be expected to be done by David Miller and skipper Theunis de Bruyn who have been the most reliable batsmen for the team this season. Miller is amongst the leading run-getters and it will crucial for the Knights that he gets going here. Shadley van Schalkwyk has been pretty impressive with the ball and the Knights will want him to carry his wicket-taking form into this match. Eddie Leie will be their best spin option against the Dolphins.

Dolphins Team News & Playing 11
The opening pair of Sarel Erwee and Morne van Wyk hold the key for the Dolphins as far as batting is concerned. The latter had a good hit recently against the Warriors and the team will look to him for a big knock in this match. When it comes to bowling, the Dolphins will rely on their pacers Robbie Frylinck and Andile Phehlukwayo to take wickets with the new ball. Keshav Maharaj and Imran Tahir are key members in the spin department but they haven't looked threatening enough this Ram Slam season.

Knights vs Dolphins Prediction
The two teams have played 20 matches against each other in the history of the South African domestic T20 competitions with the Knights leading the scoreline 11-9. The first encounter between these two sides this season was washed out. Prior to that in the previous season, the Knights trumped the Dolphins by nine wickets in a rain-truncated game. Moreover, the Dolphins will be a little rusty here as they haven't had mush game time as most of their fixtures were washed out. The Knights are playing on their home gound and we feel they are better placed to win this match.
Final Verdict: Back the Knights to beat the Dolphins.
