South Australia vs. Warriors: Twenty20 Semi-Final Predictions

The South African Warriors tackle the South Australia Redbacks this afternoon in what promises to be a thrilling cricket affair all-round.

The progress of both of these teams so far has as much to do with inspiring leadership as much as it does to all-round excellence.

On the Australian end, Michael Klinger's solidity at the top of the order has seen him rack up three half-centuries, while for the Warriors Davy Jacobs' explosive openings, coupled with Jonty-esque fielding, have played major role in both teams progressing to the semis

Both of these teams lack the superstar line-ups of the Indian contingent; however have once again proved how a team void of egos can do well to leapfrog those with unlimited budgets

The Warriors have chosen to stick with the same team as their league games and it is unlikely, injuries notwithstanding, that they will affect any changes this afternoon

South Australia (possible): Michael Klinger (capt), Daniel Harris, Callum Ferguson, Cameron Borgas, Daniel Christian, Graham Manou (wk), Tom Cooper, Aaron O'Brien, Gary Putland,  Cullen Bailey, Shaun Tait.

Warriors (possible): Davy Jacobs (wk), Ashwell Prince, Colin Ingram, Justin Kreusch, Mark Boucher (wk), Craig Thyssen, Johan Botha, Nicky Boje, Rusty Theron,  Makhaya Ntini, Lonwabo Tsotsobe.

Little separates these two team heading into this clash.

The opening partnerships are going to be key in this crucial match, with the Warriors having the pick of the lot.

The odds on this are split right down the middle at 1.83, however with home ground advantage...one must feel the Warriors should take this one

This game won’t be as tight as many assume. The Warriors will have a huge advantage having a home crowd, and coupled with a tight bowling attack and explosive batting line-up, should progress.
