CSA Provincial T20 Cup 2021: Match 15, Limpopo Impalas vs Warriors - Preview, predicted XIs, pitch report, weather forecast, match prediction and live streaming details

Limpopo Impalas will lock horns with the Warriors in the 15th match of the CSA Provincial T20 Cup. The Diamond Oval in Kimberley will host this Pool D clash.

Limpopo Impalas suffered a heavy loss in their opening game against Eastern Cape Iinyathi. The batters struggled in the middle to put a good total on the board and as a result, they failed to kick off the competition with a win.

Batting first, the Impalas could only manage to score 138. Morne Venter was the lone performer with the bat as he lacked support from the other end. It was a modest total and the Iinyathi side chased down the total comfortably. They won the game by eight wickets to hand Limpopo Impalas their first defeat.

The Warriors, on the other hand, lost their opening game against the Rocks side. After being asked to bat first, the Boland side put 183 on the board, losing five wickets. The bowlers struggled to pick up wickets as Mthiwekhaya Nabe was the lone wicket-taker in the innings. He picked up three wickets but was on the higher side with respect to runs conceded.

The top-order batters started positively but the Rocks bowlers came back hard to restrict the Warriors to 166. There wasn’t any contribution from the lower order as they fell short by 17 runs. The bowlers need to put in a much-improved performance in their clash against Limpopo Impalas.
