DOL vs WEP: Dream 11 Top Picks
Daniel Smith
The 19-year-old prodigy has been in sublime touch with the bat and his fifty against Warriors was instrumental in Western Province’s victory in the last match. The flamboyant southpaw has been in great form behind the stumps as well.
Tshepo Moreki
The right-arm seamer has already picked up 10 scalps in 3 games and has proven to be the strike bowler for the Western Province. With two 4-wicket hauls in back-to-back two values, Moreki will be a threat to the batting line-up of Dolphins.
Sarel Erwee
The seasoned campaigner has been the lone warrior for the Dolphins with the bat. He has hit two successive gritty half-centuries in the last 2 matches. The swashbuckling southpaw is a prolific run-scorer at the top. Against Warriors, Erwee scored 64 runs off 49 deliveries at an impressive strike rate of 130.61.

Who will Win- Match Prediction
Western Province will surely have an upper hand over Dolphins. Dolphins will be desperate for a victory in order to move up the league standings. However, a significant fightback will not be surprising, as the Dolphins have a lot of match-winners on their side. Still, Tony de Zorzi’s brigade will surely have a better chance in Durban.
