Western Province vs Boland Chances of Winning

Western Province took their second victory of the season against Titans last time out after a drought of wins.

George Linde and Tony de Zorzi were the top batters with 51 and 46 runs, respectively, and they started to put pressure on the opposition. Titans were able to add 211 more runs to their tally but it was not enough to keep Western Province at bay as the latter chased it down by a margin of seven wickets.

Boland drew their third match in a row as they took on Lions in the last match, and the game was affected by rain showers. Boland’s total of 229 while batting first was not particularly convincing but Clyde Fortuin and Pieter Malan showcased noteworthy performances with 61 and 45 runs, respectively. Lions surpassed the target by posting 259 runs on the board but the match came to a close at this point.

Western Province vs Boland Betting Odds

Western Province to have a better opening partnership than Boland

Jonathan Bird and Edward Moore were yielding great results for Western Province at the opening front but the team chose to open with Tony de Zorzi and Daniel Smith in the previous outing. Regardless of this change, the opening wicket remains relatively stable as they have secured partnerships of 76, 0, 2, 84, 40 and 75 runs in the last three games. Pieter Malan and Grant Roelofsen also have the potential to be destructive together but their consistency is a slight problem, having added 41, 81, 10, 1 and 18 runs to the first wicket in the previous three encounters. Given that Western Province are more reliable, their openers are backed to outperform that of Boland.
