WSB Western Province ready to kickstart T20 campaign on high
World Sports Betting Western Province Men have wrapped up preparations ahead of the much anticipated 2024/25 season opener this weekend in Cape Town.
The Boys In Blue will be looking to rectify last season's mistakes in the CSA T20 Challenge when they face up against rival neighbours Goldrush Boland on Sunday at World Sports Betting Newlands Cricket Ground.
The match is set to start at 14h00 and it will be live on SuperSport TV.
Having done well last season, the newly appointed T20 captain Beuran Hendricks knows the importance of starting the season on a high.
"The squad is looking good, our guys have really put effort into their skills and there’s a hunger to get onto the park after a long pre season. With only seven rounds we know how important it is to start well in the competition," said Hendricks.
"It’s in our hands to make sure we start well from the first ball bowled on Sunday.
"Our fans can expect a high standard of T20 cricket. We didn’t have a great outing last season so we want to start off the season on a good note and at a higher intensity."

Hendricks admits the Paarl based side will put in a good fight on Sunday but has vowed that Salieg Nackerdien's charges will leave no stone unturned on Sunday.
"We expect a good fight from Boland. They have a really good squad and with some new recruits they’ve added to their squad we know it’s not going to be a walk in the park. We’ll be making sure we leave no stone unturned."
The 34-year-old has called on Western Province supporters to come in numbers on Sunday.
"I really want to see the Newlands Faithful come out in numbers and support the boys. We want to entertain everyone that comes out and I think they would enjoy the brand of cricket we’ve put on display. It’s going to be a lekka summer of cricket."
