Dolphins vs Warriors match prediction 24th match

As Dolphins take on Warriors in Match 24 of the Momentum Cup, the two teams need the win for very very different reasons. While Dolphins sit pretty at the top of the table and would want to continue the momentum into the playoffs, Warriors would want to build up a little gap between the chasing pack behind them.

Dolphins to outplay Warriors at Buffalo Park

In a top of the table clash, Dolphins, who are currently at the top of the Momentum One Day Cup table with 30 points, will take on Warriors who sit a couple of spots behind with 15 points. Dolphins have already proved that they are the team to beat with their excellent form, winning seven of the eight games played so far in this tournament. Grant Roelofsen and Sarel Erwee, with some excellent performances, with the bat and Keshav Maharaj with the ball have ensured that the Dolphins sit pretty at the top of the table.

Warriors, on the other hand, have just won three out of their eight matches in the tournament so far. But it is not just the current form that makes us lean towards Dolphins. In the last four head to head matches between the duo, Dolphins emerged victorious on three occasions. Even during the first clash of the season, Dolphins were able to assert themselves very easily in the game and seal a comfortable seven wicket win with four overs to spare. Everything points towards the Dolphins winning the game and at odds of 1.72, it is a great bet to place.

Dolphins to have higher opening stand against Warriors

Now that we have established how superior the Dolphins have been in this season’s Momentum Cup, this should make this market a very easy one for you to invest in. In the eight matches played this season, the Dolphins have scored 465 runs at an average of 58.12 and have outscored their opponents for the opening stand in seven of those matches. In comparison, the Warriors have scored just 261 runs at an average of 32.62 in their games in the competition. As you can predict, they have not really been able to outscore their opponents in this market with the Warriors getting the better of their opponents just thrice as far as the opening partnership is concerned.

Both the Dolphins openers are in the top ten of the top run getters in this tournament scoring 771 runs between them. While for the Warriors, only Edward Moore is in the top ten of the top run getters. Even in the head to head tally, the Dolphins have a huge upper hand as the Warriors have never been able to outscore them in the three matches the two have played. This is one market that does not even require any more thought as odds of 1.80 are well worth any investment.

Dolphins to hit more sixes at Buffalo Park against Warriors

Dolphins have been the dominant side in almost every statistical category in the Momentum Cup. So why should the most sixes hit be any different. In the eight matches played this season, Dolphins have hit 47 sixes at an average of 5.87 while conceding just 25 sixes at an average of 3.12. The Warriors, on the other hand, have hit 35 sixes in their eight matches at an average of 4.37, while their opponents have cleared the ropes on 23 occasions at an average of 2.87.

In the last three head to head matches, Dolphins have hit 8 sixes while the Warriors have been able to claim just three sixes. Dolphins have hit more sixes than their opponents in six of the last eight matches, while the Warriors have hit more sixes than their opponents in five matches. In the head to head matches between the two teams, Dolphins have scored more sixes than the Warriors in all the three head to head matches. The stats just point in one direction and with Bet365 offering a doubled return on an investment, this is a pretty straightforward one.
