Preview

Inclement weather has plagued the CSA T20 Challenge 2024 for the last few games. The tournament has been set up well so far, with the Warriors being the dominant side so far. The Warriors have already run away with the lead at the top with eight wins out of eight while the other teams are playing catchup.

North West (NWD) are only the third team after Warriors and Dolphins to play eight games. With two wins, four losses, and two games yielding no results, the North West Side are under pressure. The rest of the sides in the league have played fewer games and can overhaul them in the league standings.

AET Tuskers (TUS) have played six games so far and are last in the table. The Tuskers have won just once and lost four matches with one game ending without result. With pressure mounting, the Tuskers know they need to start picking up the wins.

Pitch Report

With all the rains and overcast conditions prevailing, the playing surfaces have aided the pacers so far. It would be advisable for the captain winning the toss to bowl first and make use of the new ball. If there is rain around, the Duckworth and Lewis method will come into play for the chasing side.

C

Raynard van Tonder NWD | BAT

In an otherwise disappointing batting performance by the North West team, Raynard Van Tonder is an exception. The 25-year-old has been one of the few batters to put up a fight and scored over 180 runs during the current season.

8.5
C

Kagiso Rapulana KNI | BAT

32-year-old Kagiso Rapulana has been the lone star that shone bright for the Tuskers with the bat this season. With scores of 60 and 43 in the last two games the 32-year-old has been trying his best to help his side compete during the tournament.

7.5

Rubin Hermann NWD | WK

North West star Rubin Hermann has become a run scoring machine for his North West team. The 27-year-old has scored 327 runs so far with one century and two half-centuries. If he can continue this run of form a place in the South African will not be far.

8

Keith Dudgeon KNI | ALL

Tuskers all-rounder Keith Dudgeon has impressing one and all with his batting and bowling prowess this season. The 28-year-old has scored 140 runs with the bat so far and also picked 7 wickets with a best of 4/5 in the game against Lions.

8

Meeka-eel Prince NWD | BAT

North Westā€™s opening batter Prince has been a steady batter at the top of the order. His number of 141 runs from 8 games with just one half-century doesnā€™t give much confidence. Prince though is a talented batter and he needs to rise to the occasion to prove his talents to his team.

8.5

Thando Ntini KNI | BOWL

A fast bowler just like his Illustrious father Makhaya Ntini, the 23-year-old has then ability to bowl a heavy ball. Playing his first game of the season for the Tuskers, Ntini picked two wickets including that of former South African batter Khaya Zondo.

Kerwin Mungroo

NWD | BOWL

With all the pace and talent that he has Kerwin Mungroo has been a huge let down for his side. Just 3 wickets from 5 games doesnā€™t reflect the talent that the 29-year-old pacer has with the ball in hand.

8.5

Tian Koekemoer

KNI | ALL

The 29-ygear-old all-rounder has seen his form fall after having a brilliant time in red-ball cricket. Tian Koekmorer has so far played three games in the CSA T20 Challenge 2024 tournament and scored 51 runs and just picked a single wicket.
