Border vs Limpopo Betting Tips

Limpopo to score low before first dismissal

Ludwig Kaestner and Sizwe Masondo have established themselves as Limpopo’s opening pair this season and after getting off to a great start, their partnerships have taken a hit in the last two games. It is largely due to Masondo who does not have any consistency with the bat which has resulted in opening stands of 12, 3, 33, 16, 63, 68, 12 and 55 runs. Border’s bowling attack has the potential to break up Limpopo’s first partnership quite early on in the next match.

Border vs Limpopo Toss Prediction

The pitch at Buffalo Park has been quite favorable to the batters who are able to score big and secure nearly unattainable targets. The average first innings total of 411 this season is rather high and the teams batting first have taken victory in both matches held here so far, making batting first the sought-after option in the next game as well.

Weather Report

Sunny and clear skies are predicted at East London on the days of the match with a minimal 5% possibility of precipitation. The temperature is expected to reach 26 degrees Celsius.

Predicted Playing XI

Border vs Limpopo Betting Odds

Border to have a better opening partnership than Limpopo

Limpopo’s Ludwig Kaestner and Sizwe Masondo have been the mainstay openers for the team since the beginning of the season and despite the impressive start, their performance trailed off and got worse. In the last three games, the duo scored 12, 3, 33, 16, 63 and 68 runs before the first dismissal. On the other hand, Border’s first partnership has been improving over the course of the season as the openers have secured 25, 17, 38, 144, 0 and 0. Despite the fluctuation, Border’s first wicket is expected to outgun Limpopo’s opening order.

Border vs Limpopo Best Batters

Marco Marais to be Border’s Best Batter

In the previous outing versus Eastern Storm, Marco Marais showcased his absolute best performance of the season as he notched up 170 runs in the first innings. This boosted him all the way to the top spot among the team’s batters with 340 runs in eight innings and an average of 48.57. He is anticipated to come out on top in the next match as well.

Liam Peters to be Limpopo’s Best Batter

Liam Peters has quite a lead over the other batters from Limpopo with a total of 328 runs in eight innings. So far, he has a century and a half-century to his credit with an average of 46.85. Even though his scores of 29 and six in the previous game were not very convincing, he is expected to come good against Border.

Border vs Limpopo Best Bowlers

Jade de Klerk to be Border’s Best Bowler

Jade de Klerk has been an unbelievably dependable bowler for Border this season and it is evident in the fact that he achieved his fourth fifer of the present tournament in the last game against Eastern Storm. He has 26 wickets under his belt in seven innings with a stellar average of 15.53. Naturally, he remains the leading pick for the next game.

Kgaudisa Molefe to be Limpopo’s Best Bowler

In the previous encounter against KwaZulu-Natal Inland, Kgaudisa Molefe went wicketless in the first innings but returned with a four wicket haul in the following innings. He is in a league of his own with 18 wickets in seven innings overall, coupled with a bowling average of 22.88. He is the favorite to be Limpopo’s premier bowler once more.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Limpopo

Border made a poor start to their campaign with two successive defeats before they drew a match and went on to achieve their first win. They are not in a favorable position on the points table since they stand second-to-last. Limpopo are only one place higher in the standings in fifth with one win, one loss and two draws but the bookmakers fully endorse Limpopo to come out on top, especially as they beat Border twice in the history of the tournament.
