Knights vs. Dolphins: Dolphins Looking to Improve their Rankings

The upcoming fixture is between the Knights and Dolphins, who look to play their best level of cricket and bag some important winning points as the One Day Cup is near to the close. With three wins in 6 games, the Knights are at the 4th spot in the points table. O the other hand, there are Dolphins who haven’t been able to win a single game throughout the season. Dolphins are at the bottom of the table with warriors, and they both have no chances of making it into the top 4. The upcoming game would be an opportunity for the Knights to get themselves in the top 3 ranks.

With the final around the corner, the Knights have certainly elevated their gameplay standards. After defeating Western Province by 38 runs on 25th March, Knights didn’t stop and marched towards Warriors, where they won by seven wickets. Knights are clicking as a unit together and playing some superb cricket. They would be eying the top 2 spots, as the top two teams would be playing the final of the competition.

• Rilee Rossouw;
• Raynard van Tonder;
• Pite van Biljon;
• Migael Pretorius;
• Alfred Mothoa.

Certainly, Dolphins would be ashamed of their recent performances and gameplay. In the close match against Lions, they didn’t have the attack to counter Lion’s batsmen. Two of their league games were washed out and ended as a no result. Dolphins haven’t been able to perform consistently in national tournaments.

• Andile Phehlukwayo;
• Thando Nitini;
• Marques Ackerman;
• Prenelan Subraten;
• Bradley Porteous.

The upcoming game has swung in the Knights’ favor, as they have a decent team on paper, with confidence flowing through their playing eleven. It might be a high-scoring game with Rilee Rossouw looking to smack the bowlers around the park.
