Limpopo and Knights will clash in the 7th game of the CSA 4-Day Series Division 2 2025/26. The first game will take place at Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein from October 16. The match will begin at 1:30 PM IST. Let’s have a look at the match preview for this fixture.

Knights vs Limpopo Chance of Winning

In the previous season, the Knights demonstrated flashes of quality, capable batting and competitive bowling but overall lacked enough match-winning performances to push higher up the table. However, the team started their campaign this year with a win over Easterns. They displayed a dominant bowling performance in the match and are placed at the 5th place of the points table with 21.94 points.

After a poor season, Limpopo were hopeful for a better start this season. However, things did not pan out in their favour. They lost two consecutive games in the competition. Their last loss came against South Western Districts. With two losses, they are placed at the 7th place of the standings and possess 7.28 points. Limpopo will clash against the Knights in the next outing.

Knights vs Limpopo Betting Odds

The Knights posted a win against the Easterns in the last game. Their bowling attack made the win look effortless. Batting first, the Easterns bundled out for 59 runs in the 1st innings. The Knights surpassed them and posted 197 runs in that innings. Trailing the score, Easterns could only manage 165 runs. It was an easy target for Knights who posted 31/2 to win the game by 8 wickets. Gihahn Cloete scored 60 runs. Johannes van Dyk picked 6 wickets in the game while Dane Piedt took 5 wickets alone in the second innings.

Limpopo clashed against South Western Districts in the last game. Batting first, SWD scored 490 runs in the first innings. Don Radebe was the best bowler from Limpopo with 3 wickets. However, it was Limpopo’s batting that caused the upset. Their first innings yielded just 173 all out, with Sizwe Masondo top-scoring with 43 and Atwell Mokgoloboto contributing 31. In their second dig, they were dismissed for 156, where Ludwig Kaestner stood out with 56, and Don Radebe added 36. Limpopo’s batting failed to withstand pressure, and though their bowlers had moments, it wasn’t sufficient to turn the tide against a dominant SWD side. SWD won the game by an innings and 161 runs.

Knights vs Limpopo Toss Prediction

The Mangaung Oval tends to offer good pace and bounce early on, favoring fast bowlers with the new ball. As the innings progress, especially into days 2 and 3, the pitch can settle, lose some of its bounce, and then assist spin or swing less, depending on how it deteriorates. Historically, first innings at this ground often produce sizable scores, and the side batting first has had good success in longer formats. Given those conditions, winning the toss at Mangaung Oval in a first-class match, the safer choice is likely to bat first. Putting runs on the board early gives you a chance to take advantage of the livelier pitch and let your bowlers exploit conditions later in the game when the surface has worn a bit.

Weather Report

Expect a warm and dry day with highs around 28 °C (82 °F) and overnight lows near 12 °C (54 °F). Skies should be mostly clear to partly cloudy, and rain chances are minimal, essentially dry conditions. Winds out of the south may offer some relief in the afternoon.

Knights vs Limpopo Betting Tips

Limpopo to score under xxx runs before 1st dismissal @ xxx (Parimatch)

Limpopo began their campaign with a strong opening partnership in the first innings of their first game. Ludwig Kaestner and Sizwe Masondo opened for the side. The pair scored 106 runs for the first wicket in the initial innings. However, in the next innings, they lost their first wicket without any run on the scoresheet. Coming into their next game, Limpopo posted 10 & 25 runs for their opening partnership scores in the two innings. Although the batters have shown glimpses of good batting displays, their inconsistency looks worrisome. Moreover, Knights clearly have a strong bowling side and will make it tougher for Limpopo to bat in the next game.
