Knights vs Cape Cobras match prediction match
Knights will lock horns with Cape Cobras in the 15th match of the ongoing Momentum ODI Cup at the Diamond Oval in Kimberley on Saturday.
The two teams at the bottom of the points table Knights and Cape Cobras will square off on Saturday and the match will be equally important for both sides. Knights are yet to open their account on the ladder and, on the other hand, Cape Cobras have lost three matches on the bounce. One can expect a one-sided affair if the Cobras put their step on the gas but Knights are expected to offer some resistance. Meanwhile, I have gathered three of the best winning markets for you guys to bet on. Take a look and place those bets before it’s too late!
Both teams are likely to score at least 30 runs for the first wicket
Knights will be looking to open their account when they go head to head against the Cape Cobras. Both the teams are currently in 5th and 6th position and need to step up to have some chance to make it to the knockout phase. The Cape Cobras have played six matches so far and have crossed the 29 run mark three times at the fall of 1st wicket and they also have conceded more than 29 runs for the opening stand in five out of their six matches. Knights, on the other hand, had an opening partnership of more than 29 in one of their innings and conceded more than 29 runs for the opening stand in the same match. In the last three head to head matches, Cape Cobras had an opening partnership of more than 29 runs in two matches. Similarly, the Knights have scored more than 29 runs for the 1st wicket in two out of their three matches. Therefore, it is evident that both teams are likely to score over 29.5 runs for the 1st wicket and Royal Panda is offering odds of 1.90 for the same.
We are to witness a century in this match
In the last six matches that the Cape Cobras have played, a century was scored in five of them in this ongoing season of the Momentum ODI Cup. The Cape Cobras managed to score three centuries in those six matches and two of those came from the bat of their top batman Zubayr Hamza. But the Knights, on the other hand, have failed to score any century in their four matches and one of those matches was washed out due to rain. However, in the last five head to head matches, three centuries have been scored. The Knights managed to score two out of those three hundreds while the Cobras managed to score one. Royal Panda is offering odds of 1.80 and if any of the batsmen from either side score a century, we are going to have a good time!
