Dolphins vs Knights match prediction

Dolphins will take on Knights in the first semi-final of the ongoing season of the Momentum Cup at the Kingsmead, Durban on Tuesday.

Dolphins were ruling the roost throughout the league stages of the Momentum Cup having won seven out of their 10 matches. As a result, they were the league leaders and thus they are getting to play the first semi-final of the Momentum Cup 2020 against the Knights, who finished fourth on the points table. This will be their third meeting in this season and both the encounters so far have been won by the Dolphins and that too with consummate ease. With Dolphins in such good form, we can somewhat predict the result of the game, however, we can also make a lot of money just in case you were not aware of it. I have gathered three markets on which you can bet on from this game and win a lot of cash. Allow me to take you through them:

Dolphins to have a better opening stand

The Dolphins have reached the knockout stage quite comfortably with a dominating performance in the group stage courtesy of some top performances from Grant Roelofsen, Sarel Erwee etc. In the ten group stage matches, the Dolphins added 617 runs for the opening stand at an average of 61.7 and have conceded just 304 runs for the opening stand. The Dolphins have outscored their opponents for the opening stand in eight out of 10 matches they played this season. Excluding the two washed out matches, the Knights have scored 315 runs for the opening stand at an average of 39.37 and have conceded 213 runs while outscoring their opponents for the opening stand in four of the eight matches. In the last five head to head matches, the Dolphins had a better opening stand than the Knights on four occasions. And also the Dolphins have got the better off their opponents for the opening stand in two of the last three matches played at this venue. Bet 365 is offering odds of 1.80 for Dolphins to have a better opening partnership than the Knights and that is the most likely outcome.

Dolphins to deal in a lot of sixes

The Dolphins are leading six hitters of the ongoing season of the Momentum Cup with 59 sixes in ten matches at an average of 5.90, who are followed by the Warriors with 45 sixes. The Dolphins are third in position when it comes to conceding number of sixes (38) at an average of 3.80. The Knights, on the other hand, have just hit 21 sixes in eights matches at an average of 2.62 and have conceded more sixes than they have scored, with 27 sixes at an average of 3.37 sixes per match. The Dolphins failed to hit more sixes than their opponents in three of their matches, which includes two ties in the number of sixes. The Knights have hit more sixes than their opponents in just two matches. In the last five head to head matches, the Dolphins have hit more sixes than the Knights on all five occasions. In the last three matches played at this venue, the Dolphins have hit 14 sixes, while allowing just eight sixes. Bet 365 is offering odds of 1.80 for Dolphins to hit more sixes in this first semi-final and money-making could not be more fun!;

Grant Roelofsen to score more runs than Sarel Erwee

Grant Roelofsen is the tournament’s leading run scorer with 588 runs in ten matches at an average of 65.33 including one century and five half centuries. Sarel Erwee is the team’s second highest, he has scored 379 runs in ten matches at an average of 42.11 with one century and two half centuries. In 30 List A matches he has played, Roelofsen has scored 1150 runs at an average of 45.59 including two centuries and eight half centuries. While Sarel Erwee has scored 2607 runs in 74 matches at an average of 40.10 including four centuries and 17 half centuries. Grant Roelofsen has outscored Sarel Erwee in seven of the ten matches so far. In the last head to head matches at this venue Erwee got out on a duck while Roelofsen scored 21 runs. Bet 365 is offering odds of 1.90 for Roelofsen to outscore Erwee in the first semi-final and considering the form Roelofsen is in at the moment, it is the most obvious outcome.
