Dolphins are favoured, with a win chance of 61% against North West's 39%. They are also stronger on paper by about 4 runs, and that edge comes entirely from bowling: the Dolphins are 4.3 runs better than average with the ball, while North West are 10.7 runs worse. North West are marginally ahead with the bat, by 0.6 runs, but that is not enough to outweigh the bowling gap.
Both sides project 163, with the par score 167. Games here have been high-scoring recently: the median is 170 in three games since 2023, against 157 in 26 games from 2018 to 2022. Defending has been profitable in the middle range: 11 of 15 totals between 150 and 169 were defended. The sharpest angle is the Dolphins' bowling against a North West attack rated 10.7 runs worse than average.
