Warriors vs Boland 18th Match Predictions and Betting Tips

The 18th match of the 2022 edition of CSA T20 Challenge will see Warriors facing off Rocks (predominantly known by the name of Boland) on February 17, Thursday. The match will take place at St. George’s Park in Port Elizabeth. Have a look at the top three bettings tips from the WAR vs ROC match prediction for you to pick.

The Rocks started their campaign with two hovering teams but they bounced back after the thriller Super Over victory against North West. The Rocks then went to beat the defending champions Lions in the very next game by 44 runs. On the contrary, Warriors are placed at the foot of the table with a win and three losses from four games. The Knights registered a comprehensive 9 wicket win over the Warriors on Monday. The Rocks are currently standing third in the table with 9 points. The two sides will meet for the first time this season. The Rocks will be looking to carry forward their winning momentum while the Warriors would like to rise in the table by sealing their 2nd win of the season.

WAR vs BOL Team Bets

The book makers are suggesting that the Rocks will register a win over Warriors on Thursday. As such, we have come up with the best team bets from the WAR vs ROC match prediction for you to pick.

Boland to win comfortably

The Rocks have had a poor start to their campaign but they turned things around by winning two games in a row now. They are now sitting comfortably in the 3rd position and have 9 points to their name. Their batting unit looks quite settled and is led by the Malan brothers i.e, Pieter Malan and Janneman Malan. The two brother’s form a great opening duo and provide an explosive start to Rock’s innings. Against Lions on Tuesday, Pieter Malan’s 71 run knock off 48 deliveries helped his side reach a total of 160 which was easily defended by the bowlers. Their bowling unit is led by Hardus Viljoen who has scalped six wickets at the moment from three games at an economy of 8.92. Viljoen was also instrumental in restricting the Lions under 116 in the last game. The Warriors batting unit looks quite settled but their bowling unit has been miserable this season. They were unable to defend a total of 171 in the last game against the Knights. They leaked about 211 runs the game before against the Dolphins. Their bowlers have regularly struggled to pick up wickets. The two sides met each other in the previous edition of the tournament wherein the Rocks registered a 17 run win over Warriors. If all the above mentioned points are taken into account, we suggest you pick Rocks in team bets. Pari Match has offered odds of 1.83 in Rocks favour from the WAR vs ROC match prediction for you to pick.

WAR vs BOL Player Bets

The top two picks from the player market are Tristan Stubbs and Pieter Malan. I am sure that the below mentioned players are going to make you a lot of money.

Tristan Stubbs to score over 20.5

With 217 runs from four games at an average of 72.33, Tristan Stubbs is the leading run getter in the tournament for Warriors. The 21 year-old wicket-keeper batsmen has been phenomenal with the bat and has scored 65, 80*, 21, 51 in the last four games. The youngster became the leading run getter of the tournament after a blistering 65 run knock off just 35 deliveries. The middle order batsman saved the lost game for Rocks by scoring an unbeaten 80 off 31 balls. He smashed 3 fours and 8 sixes at a strike rate of 258.06. The kid has already smashed three fifties from four games in the ongoing season. Stubbs holds an experience of 12 T20 matches in which he has racked up 374 runs at an average of 37.40. Looking at his current form, many believe that the youngster is getting closer towards his Proteas selection. We advise you bet on Tristan Stubbs to score over 20.5 in the upcoming brawl against Rocks. Our affiliate partner Pari Match has offered odds of 1.87 in Tristan Stubbs favour from the WAR vs ROC match prediction.

Pieter Malan to score over 23.5

Lastly, I have picked 32 year-old opener Pieter Malan from the WAR vs ROC match. Pieter Malan brings a fair amount of experience to the side. Pieter Malan is a vastly experienced player and has played about 112 first class matches. The right handed opener has been in some form recently and is currently the leading run scorer for Rocks in the ongoing season of CSA T20 Challenge. He has added 143 runs to his tally of total runs at an average of 35.75 from four games. Most recently, he played a brilliant 71 run knock off just 48 deliveries against Lions in the last match. Although he started the current campaign with a duck in the first game against Western Province, he quickly bounced back and has now scored two back to back fifties. Pieter Malan averages about 38.10 in T20 and has so far racked up 1410 runs from 47 games. He also has a hundred and eight 50+ scores in the shortest format of the game. This clearly indicates that the vastly experienced opener will score runs in the upcoming brawl against Warriors. We suggest you pick Pieter Malan in player bets at odds of 1.87 through our affiliate partner Pari Match if you wish to get some handsome returns.
