Knights vs Dolphins, CSA T20 Challenge 2021
Dolphins kicked off their CSA T-20 series campaign with a magnificent win over Cape Cobras. They'll be up against Knights, who were pretty poor against Titans in their last match. Both teams are evenly matches thus this match promises to be a thrilling encounter. Read as we preview the 5th match of the tournament that'll be played between Knights and Dolphins at the Kinsmead Durban. The match will get underway at 2:00 PM local time.
Knights had a horrendous start to the CSA T-20 series as they were thrashed by Titans by 6 wickets. While we did predicted Titan's win, a loss of this magnitude is really disappointing. Among all, only Patrick Kruger, Andries Gows and Pite van Biljon were the only batsmen that could manage a two digit score. The batting looks very vulnerable at the moment and they'll need some one from the top 3 to play a big knock so players like Farhaan Behradeen and Pite van Biljon can come in and hit the long ball.
In the bowling department, Migael Pretorius continued his decent run in the tournament and picked up 3 wickets. Shaun Berg, Ferisco Adams, Jacques Snyman, Alfred Mothoa all bowler well. Overall, the bowling was fine but they'll need more run to help their team win a game.
Talking about Dophins, they defended 155 against a strong Cobras batting lineup. Keshav Maharaj, the skipper led from the front with a 4 wicket hall. Robbie Frylink, Prenalan Subrayen, Daryn Dupavillon were terrific with the ball. This is something we can expect from Dolphins throughout the tournament. The kind of bowling lineup they have, most batting lineups in the tournament will struggle against the.. Also, With players like David Miller, Khaya Zondo, Sarel Erwee, Grant Roelofson, Andile Phehlukwayo at their disposal, they have enough firepower in the team. We think they are a good side and will be very hard to stop for Knights.

Pitch Report
The 4th match of the CSA T-20 series will be played at the Kinsmead, Durban. Both the previous matches on this ground turned out to be low scoring matches. The wicket is still pretty hard and we think that batsmen will still find it hard against the new ball. Once set, there will be plenty of runs on offer though.
Toss Prediction
The pitch is not easy to bat so putting runs on the board helps.
Weather Report
The weather may cause some hinderance as some thunderstorms are expected on match day.

KNG Team News
Knight's batting is a cause of concern which may force Pite van Biljon to bring in Matthew Kleinvelt or Jonathan Vandiar in place of a bowler.
KNG Key Players
- Andries Gous - Andries looked the best batsmen for Knights against Titans. He stroked the ball cleanly and played a quick fire knock of 35 on a difficult wicket. We think he can turn out to be one of the match winners for Knights.
- Pite van Biljon - The skipper also played well for his 33. The wicket was not easy to bat buy he digged in and occupied the crease for decent amount of time. The time spent at the crease will help him in the next match.
- Migael Pretorius - He started his campaign with a 3 wicket haul. He did perform well in the last season as well. We'll be one of the key bowlers for Knights.
KNG Team Form
Overall form cannot be judged by one game but they do look a pretty vulnerable team.
Knights Predicted Playing 11
Patrick Kruger, Jacques Snyman, Andries Gous(WK), Pite van Biljon (C), Farhaan Behradeen, Ferisco Adams, Shaun Berg, Migael Pretorius, Mbulelo Budaza, Alfred Mothoa

DOL Team News
Dolphins were pretty good as a team in the last match of CSA T20 Challenge and will most likely go in with the same playing XI. However, Kerwin Mungroo didn't complete his full quota of overs and only bowling 2.2 overs. We have no news what happened with him and why he couldn't complete the over. If it's because of an injury, he'll not take part in the upcoming game.
DOL Key Players
- David Miller - David Miller needs no introduction. He's a player that can turn the game on his head. He missed out in the previous game but would to capitalise on a weak Knights bowling.
- Khaya Zondo - Zondo batted well for his 59 and is among the top performers for Dophins. We back him to continue his good run
- Keshav Maharaj - What a game Maharaj had as he picked up 4 crucial wickets of Cape Cobras. The wicket do get slower in the second inning and Maharaj won't mind that.
DOL Team Form
Dolphins will be very happy with their performance in their last match as they defended a modest total of 155
