The Hollywoodbets Dolphins are about to enter a crucial period of the T20 Challenge

The Hollywoodbets Dolphins are entering the latter part of the CSA T20 Challenge with some significant matches ahead. They will start on Friday by facing the DP World Lions at the DP World Wanderers.

Currently, in fourth place on the table, the Dolphins can make significant progress towards securing a home semi-final if they win a few more matches in the second half of the tournament.

With matches scheduled for this Friday and Sunday, the Dolphins will aim to win both games, which will move them up the table and put them in a stronger position. The team will face an in-form Lions side, whom they beat in the reverse fixture in Durban, as well as the Auto Investment North West Dragons in Potchefstroom on Sunday.

According to Hollywoodbets Dolphins assistant coach Mduduzi Mbatha, the team understands the significance of this period in the competition.

Although the Dolphins could secure their place in the semi-finals with two good results this week, Mbatha believes in the old cliché of not looking past the next match.

Mbatha noted:

"T20 cricket has its ups and downs, and we need to make sure that we do our basics well and are ready for each game as it comes."

Young player Tristan Luus made his debut for the Dolphins in their last match against the AET Tuskers, taking 2/30 with the ball. Mbatha and the rest of the coaching staff are eager to see how he develops.

The Dolphins have selected a stable squad for the upcoming fixtures. The team blends youth and experience well as they push towards the playoffs.

Hollywoodbets Dolphins Squad:
Ottniel Baartman, Khaya Zondo, Grant Roelofsen, Okuhle Cele, Marques Ackerman, Eathan Bosch, Bryce Parsons, Tshepang Dithole, Andile Phehlukwayo, Jason Smith, Jon-Jon Smuts, Tristan Luus, Andile Simelane, Prenelan Subrayen
