Knights to score over 23.5 runs before 1st dismissal

The Knights will kick things off against North West in the brand new season of CSA Provincial One Day Challenge. Last time out, the side finished at the middle of the table with 15 points besides their name. Matthew Kleinveldt & Jacques Snyman were the ones to open the innings for the Knights last season. The duo posted scores of 40, 51, 55 & 90 runs in the last four games before the fall of the first wicket. This totals to 236 runs from four games averaging at 59.00 runs for the first wicket. This number certainly falls above our target, thus making it a safe betting tip for this game.

NWD vs KTS Player Bets:

Shaylen Pillay and Pite van Biljon are my top two player betting picks from the NWD vs KTS head-to-head contest. Take a look below!

Shaylen Pillay to score under 20.5 runs

The 28-year-old all-rounder, Shaylen Pillay hailing from Gauteng is my first player betting pick from this forthcoming contest. Shaylen has been a regular name for North West in the One Day format of the game. He holds an experience of about 61 List A matches wherein he has accumulated 1403 runs at an average of about 31.88. Although this looks quite good, his recent run of form with the bat has been a worrisome factor for this all-rounder. In NWD’s opener vs Warriors, Pillay was dismissed for just 2 runs. He came into bat at No.5 and could only face six deliveries before falling victim to Swanepoel. In the 2021/22 season of CSA Provincial One Day Challenge, Shayleen scored just 138 runs from five games with a highest score of 76*. His scores in the last five List A matches read 2, 76*, 0, 52 & 2 runs. This entails a 60% efficiency of S Pillay to score under 20.5 runs in this game. Therefore, we expect S Pillay to score under 20.5 runs in this game. To capitalise on this, grab the odds of 1.87 offered by 1XBET in Shaylen’s favour from the NWD vs KTS match prediction.

Pite van Biljon to score over 26.5 runs

The Knights skipper Petrus van Biljon is a seasoned campaigner in the domestic circuit with over a decade of experience. A right-handed batsman who started his career with Northerns aged 21. Pite has represented Free State which also forms the Knights cricket team. Although he is a wicket-keeper, Van Biljon has hardly donned the gloves. It is his presence in the middle-order that makes him different from the rest. The 36-year-old veteran has played over 110 List A matches and has amassed 3260 runs at a phenomenal average of about 36.22. In the 2021/22 season of the CSA Provincial One Day Challenge, Pite emerged as the leading run-getter from his side. He scored 297 runs from 7 matches at an average of about 74.25. He also smashed a hundred and scored a fifty. Last time out when the two sides collided, the Knights skipper delivered with the bat as he scored a run-a-ball 65 run knock. His innings was laced with two fours and as many sixes. That said, we have backed Pite van Biljon to score over 26 runs in this game. Our affiliate partner 1XBET has offered odds of 1.87 in his favour from the NWD vs KTS match prediction.
