Border to score low before 1st dismissal in the first innings

Borders bagged three wins and two losses from six games last season as they secured the 4th spot under Division 2. Their opening duo also struggled to deliver a strong performance with the bat. The duo of Jason Niemand & Jerome Bossr posted scores of 9, 11, 0, 4 & 44 runs before their first fall of wickets in the first innings of the last five games. This sums up to just 68 runs in five matches, averaging at 13.60 runs for the opening partnership. In every single match, barring one, Border failed to provide a strong start to their innings. In the last five head-to-head meetings against Northern Cape, Border posted scores of 0 & 27, 20 & 1, 7, 7 & 41 and 120 & 0 runs before the fall of the first wicket. This sums up to 223 runs from nine innings averaging 24.77 runs for the first wicket. Jason Niemand hammered just 176 runs from 8 innings averaging at 22.00 last season.
