They drew Limpopo, and their last draw was against Mpumalanga; they lost to Knights by 11 runs, South Western Districts by nine wickets, and to Knights again by 88 runs.

Northern Cape vs EC Iinyathi Prediction
EC Iinyathi have been disappointing in their last five matches, failing to win; they have lost three games and drawn two. I don’t see them winning or drawing here because Northern Cape have been better, with two wins and one draw in their last five matches. With that said, I believe the home team will add another win here to claim two wins in a row. My prediction is Northern Cape to win, with 1xBet offering odds of 1.67.
