Limpopo vs Border Chances of Winning
Limpopo have not had luck on their side whatsoever this season considering their previous game against Northern Cape was abandoned due to unfavorable weather conditions. However, the two games prior to that also did not go in their favor since they lost both matches. In their match against the Knights, Limpopo failed to chase down a 199-run total as they were bundled out for precisely 100 runs. They also lost to South Western Districts in the first match where the Liam Peters-led team could not defend a 160-run total. It is quite clear that they are not in form at the moment.
Border are a highly successful team in the competition so far as they took a hattrick of victories, having defeated Easterns in the last game. The latter were restricted to 137 runs in the first innings and the chase was a breeze for Border. Wian Ruthven top-scored with 40 runs while Jan Coetzer, Michael Copeland and skipper Nathan Roux followed closely behind with 33*, 25* and 23 runs, respectively. In the end, they bagged a five-wicket victory.

Limpopo vs Border Tips
Border to score high before first dismissal
Nathan Roux and Christiaan du Toit are the openers for Border, and the latter was brought in as a replacement for Jerome Bossr who only played the first game. In the last three outings, the pairs secured totals of 11, 40 and 55 runs before the first dismissal. They are certainly a dependable pair, and even though Christiaan du Toit has taken time to bed in, he is expected to bring his A-game to the next outing against Limpopo which will allow the team to put on a strong partnership in the next match.
