Preview for Dream11 Fantasy

Mid West Rhinos and the Rangers will face each other in the 12th and final league match of the ongoing Pro50 Championship in Zimbabwe. The Rangers have lost their three matches so far in the tournament while their fourth match against Mountaineers was washed out. The abandoned game helped them to finally open their account in the points table.

The Mid West Rhinos too are yet to win a game having lost in all their three outings so far. Their batting has been a cause for concern having crossed the 200-run mark only once in three matches. Both the sides will look to end their season on a high and expect it to be a close encounter.

Weather Report

The rain continues to threaten the tournament. There is every chance of the match getting abandoned with the forecast of heavy rainfall on Thursday and Friday. Even if the game happens, it could be a shortened one. The temperature is expected to hover in the mid-20s according to AccuWeather.
