South Africa

University Oval, Potchefstroom

North West and Knights will take on each other in the CSA Provincial One-Day Challenge Division One, meeting on February 15, 2025. They are going to clash at University Oval, Potchefstroom, with a scheduled start time of 4:30 P.M IST.

North West vs Knights Chances of Winning

North West were a competitive team in the previous season and their success in the group stage earned them a spot in the final against Western Province. However, this is where they ended up falling short. Western Province’s 307 was not an easy score to surpass but North West collapsed rather quickly during their chase. The top order fell apart quite early but skipper Wihan Lubbe brought some stability to the innings with a well-made 70. He had little help from the others, though, and the team eventually found themselves bundled out in a deficit of 107 runs.

The Knights were almost exactly in the same position during the previous season; they were a part of Division Two and finished the group stage with a seven for seven clean sweep. It was when they got to the final against South Africa Emerging when they faltered for the first time. In the final, the Knights batted first but their score of 276 was not quite convincing - openers Garnett Tarr and Jacques Snyman kicked off the innings on a strong foot with totals of 105 and 60, respectively. However, after they departed, Dian Forrester was the only other contributor with 45 runs and all the remaining batters were sent packing for sub double-digit scores. Naturally, their target could not be defended and they conceded defeat by eight wickets.

North West vs Knights Betting Tips

Knights to score high before first dismissal

Garnett Tarr and Jacques Snyman were unstoppable together in the previous season, having notched up some truly praiseworthy scores. In the last five matches of the season, they were going well with totals of 31 and 87 runs but in the following game, the latter retired hurt which gave them a total of 17*. Tarr opened the innings with Nathan Roux for a single game where they ended up with a paltry score of 17. However, upon Snyman’s return in the final, the pair went hammer and tongs to secure a 107-run stand. It is quite obvious that they have immense firepower and their synergy is sensational, making another big opening score a possibility for the next game.

North West vs Knights Betting Odds

Knights to have a better opening partnership than North West

Garnett Tarr was the one who helped take the Knights’ opening wicket to different heights in the last season, although his contribution alone was not enough to ensure the team had a successful partnership. More often than not, he opened with Jacques Snyman and together, they scored 107, 17 and 17* runs in the last three games. For North West, Lesego Senokwane and Meeka-eel Prince were not nearly as prolific as they added 2, 17 and 41 runs to the first wicket. The Knights have a great shot at outperforming North West’s openers in the next outing.
