KTS vs NWD Day 1 Team Bet:

Mentioned below is our only team betting tip from the KTS vs NWD Day 1 match prediction.

Knights to face an early dismissal in 1st innings

Last season, Knights finished at the 2nd spot from the bottom as they bagged just a single win from seven matches. They picked up four draws and two defeats in the process. The side tested with a lot of players at the top but none of them made an impact. Knights opening pair revolved around these four players - Nathan Roux, Paballo Mogoera, Matthew Kleinveldt & Jacques Snyman. KTS posted scores of 9 & 4, 17 & 47, 21, 11 & 10 and 152 runs before the first fall in the last five matches. This totals to 271 runs from eight innings averaging at 33.875 runs for the first wicket. Except for that 152 run stand, the openers lost their wicket pretty early on other occasions. The two sides met just once last season wherein the Knights failed to open their account before the fall of the first wicket. Nathan Roux, Paballo Mogoera, Matthew Kleinveldt & Jacques Snyman averaged at 26.66, 3.00, 42.37 & 36.66 last season. With that said, we have backed the Knights to score low before the first fall in the first innings. 1XBET offers the best team odds from the KTS vs NWD Day 1 match prediction and you should take it for a hefty payday.

KTS vs NWD Day 1 Player Bets:

Let's have a look at our top two player betting picks from the KTS vs NWD Day 1 match prediction.

Heino Kuhn to score well in 1st innings

The 38-year-old right-handed batsman, Heino Kuhn is someone who has gone through years and years of grind in South African domestic cricket. The NWD skipper holds an experience of about 185 First-Class matches. He has scored 11809 runs from them at an incredible average of 39.49. Kuhn has struck 25 centuries and 38 half-ones in his First-Class career so far. Last season in the 4-Day Franchise Series, Kuhn hammered 259 runs from six matches at a decent average of 21.58. Kuhn is arriving here after having an amazing season in the CSA T20 Challenge wherein he posted scores of 50, 43, 58, 0 & 23 runs in his last five matches. With 190 runs from seven matches, Heino Kuhn emerged as the leading run-getter from his side. He averaged close to 27.14 in that competition. Looking at his recent run of form with the bat, we have backed Kuhn to score well in this game against the Knights. To capitalise on this, grab the best of odds in Heino Kuhn’s favour from the KTS vs NWD Day 1 match prediction.

Pite van Biljon to score low in 1st innings

Lastly, we have the 36-year-old wicket-keeper batsman, Pite van Biljon, to my list of picks today from the KTS vs NWD Day 1 match prediction. With 415 runs from six games at an average of 51.87, van Biljon emerged as the leading run-scorer for his side. Van Biljon holds tons of experience and has played a total of 114 First-Class games in his career so far. He has scored 7287 runs from them at an incredible average of 42.86. Against North West in his previous meeting, Pite delivered a 127 run knock which eventually helped his team get over the line. Although this looks great, his form has not been up to the mark this season. He has posted the scores of 0, 27, 12, 7, 0, 5 & 7 runs in his last seven T20 matches. In the recently concluded season of CSA T20 Challenge, van Biljon scored just 58 runs from 8 games at an average of 8.28. This is certainly low and should earn you a bonus since he is being dismissed cheaply in the last few games. 1XBET offers the best player bets in favour of Pite van Biljon to dismiss early in the KTS vs NWD Day 1 head-to-head encounter. Pick it to ensure a high bonus.

My Picks:

Knights to face an early dismissal in 1st innings
