Momentum One-Day Cup 2020: Match 29, Warriors vs Cape Cobras– Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update

Match Details:

The 29th match of the Momentum One-Day Cup 2020 will be played between Warriors and Cobras at the Buffalo Park in East London.

The match starts at 1:30 PM local time (11:30 AM GMT) (5:00 PM IST).

Preview:

For Warriors, this game is like a virtual quarter-final. A win will see them make their way through to the semi-finals of the tournament whereas a defeat can knock them out. They are facing the Cobras who are currently at the bottom of the table and are already out of the tournament. Stephen Tait has been the biggest positive for the Warriors side with 12 scalps under his belt and he would be tempted to do well for his side.

Cobras, on the other hand, are at the bottom of the table. Zubayr Hamza is the highest run-scorer of the tournament but his team’s performance has been below par throughout the tournament. Thando Ntini started the tournament on a very good note but just couldn’t get going. Cobras would love to play the role of the party-spoiler for the Warriors.

Weather Condition/Report:

The weather forecast says that there is a 6% probability of rain on Saturday. The wind will be blowing at a rate of 11 to 18 km/hr whereas the temperature will hover between 19 and 27 Degree Celsius throughout the day according to Accuweather.

Pitch Condition/Report:

The track at Buffalo Park is expected to be a good batting surface with some assistance to the pace bowlers too. This ground has hosted only one game in this edition of Momentum Cup in which the side batting first managed a score of 293 runs and it wasn’t chased by the side batting second. So, the team winning the toss will look to bat first to be on the safer side. Also, the pace bowlers will get some assistance from the wicket but only in the early phase of the game.

Average first innings score: 293 (One 50-over match played at the venue this season)

Record of chasing teams: Won — 0, Lost — 1
