Border vs North West Team Preview & Squads
Border
Captain Jason Niemand leads a Border side with mixed results, shown by their recent form of W L W L A. In their last match, a one-day fixture, Border posted 277/9 against Easterns, but Easterns chased 278 with 7 wickets in hand and 13 balls remaining. Niemand must sharpen the bowling plans to avoid a repeat.
Nathan Roux is the key batter and is tipped as top run-scorer and most sixes hitter. A projected 170+ needs a strong platform, and the 277/9 last time shows the line-up can score runs. Fantasy players may like Roux, though sceptics will note the total needed for a win could be higher.
Ayabonga Tongo is the key bowler, while Jade de Klerk is the key all-rounder and predicted top wicket-taker. Conceding 280/3 in the last outing is a warning sign for the attack. Jade de Klerk’s dual role matters a lot, because Border need runs and wickets from the same player.
Border Squads
Nathan Roux, Mathew Fourie, Nico van Zyl, Jade de Klerk, Mncedisi Malika, Jerome Bossr, Sinovuyo Ntuntwana, Christopher Gleaves, Marco Marais, Jason Niemand, Tladi Bokako, Ayabonga Tongo
North West
Captain Rubin Hermann is also the key batter and our predicted Player of the Match, so his influence is enormous. North West arrive after a 7-wicket win over Warriors in Pool A at Centurion, chasing 129 in 15.3 overs with 27 balls remaining. That comfortable finish shows a side playing with control and confidence.
Hermann is tipped as top run-scorer and most sixes hitter, and North West are projected to reach 190+. Their recent form of L W L W W points to a team improving at the right time. In this batting order, one big innings from the captain could quickly settle the contest.
Caleb Seleka is the key bowler, while Wihan Lubbe is the key all-rounder and predicted top wicket-taker. Warriors were held to 128/6, which shows what the attack can do. Lubbe’s mix of bat and ball gives NWEST valuable flexibility and depth.
North West Squads
Meeka eel Prince, Rubin Hermann, Ruan de Swardt, Raynard van Tonder, Lesiba Ngoepe, Diego Rosier, Wihan Lubbe, Dian Forrester, Onke Nyaku, Juan James, Paul James, Ludwich Schuld, Caleb Seleka, Daryn Dupavillon, Shimane Alfred Mothoa, Mthiwekhaya Nabe, Nealan van Heerden, Lutendo Tsanwani
