KNIGHTS BETTING ANALYSIS

Dane Piedt captains Knights who won’t be seen as one of the favourites to win the competition, at least initially. However, this should only serve as motivation for this squad, plenty of whom will be playing for further honours including an SA20 contract for next year and even future international honours.

NORTH WEST DRAGONS BETTING ANALYSIS

North West Dragons are again likely to be very dependent on their domestic players to succeed across this tournament, beginning here in the league stage. Led by an excellent pro in all-rounder Wihan Lubbe and with players such as Marco Jansen, Miguel Pretorious and Janneman Malan, Dragons have all bases covered.

KNIGHTS VS NORTH WEST DRAGONS EXPERT PREDICTION

When comparing the two squads, it’s the North West Dragons that immediately pop off the page. Particular in terms of bowling, the Dragons look significantly stronger and with the potential of rain playing a part in this one, smart bowlers will be crucial as wickets could prove a huge factor with DLS in play. Therefore, back Dragons to beat the Knights.
