CSA Provincial T20 Challenge 2021: Match 2, Northern Cape Heat vs South Western Districts - Preview, predicted XIs, pitch report, weather forecast, match prediction and live streaming details

The CSA Provincial T20 Cup 2021 kicks off on September 24. In the second game of the tournament, Northern Cape lock horns with South Western Districts at the Diamond Oval in Kimberley, South Africa. It’s a pool A clash and it promises to be an exciting contest.

Northern Cape didn’t have the best of seasons last year. They won two and lost two of the four games played last season. Gerrit Jacques Snyman finished as the highest run-scorer for the side with 168 runs in four games. But other batters struggled throughout the season. They will be looking for a much-improved performance in the upcoming edition.

The South Western Districts had a season to forget last time around. They only managed to win once out of four games. They won their last group stage game against Boland and need something dramatic this season. Jean du Plessis was their lone performer for them as he scored 149 runs in four matches.

South Western Districts need to be at their best in their opening game of the competition against the Northern Cape Heat.
