With one round remaining in the 2024/25 Hollywoodbets Pro 50 and Hollywoodbets Pro 20 competitions, teams are making their final push to secure the best possible finish standings.
The Pro 20 champion has already been crowned, while the Pro 50 race remains wide open. Here’s a breakdown of the standings and final-round permutations.
Hollywoodbets Pro 50: Lions Lead, Dolphins Eye an Upset
After nine rounds of action, the DP World Lions lead the standings with 34 points, having won seven out of their nine matches. The Hollywoodbets Dolphins follow in second place with 29 points, while WSB Western Province closely trail in third with 28 points.
The Dolphins still have an outside chance of snatching the title, but they will need a dominant victory over Western Province, ideally with a bonus point to enhance their net run rate (NRR). Additionally, they require the Fidelity Titans to pull off a convincing win over the table-topping Lions in Johannesburg.
Meanwhile, Western Province also have a mathematical shot at finishing top if they secure a bonus-point win against the Dolphins and the Lions suffer a heavy defeat against the Titans.
At the bottom of the table, the Knights and Six Gun Grill Garden Route Badgers are out of contention, but their clash in Bloemfontein will be a battle for pride.

Behind them, the Hollywoodbets Dolphins sit in second place with 30 points. While they cannot overtake Western Province, they will aim to solidify their runner-up finish when they face the champions in Cape Town.
The Lions currently hold third place with 26 points and will look to finish strong against the Titans, who are fourth with 19 points. Meanwhile, the Knights and Garden Route Badgers find themselves propping up the table, with the Badgers yet to register a single win in the competition.
