Lions Team News & Playing 11

Rassie van der Dussen and Mangaliso Mosehle have got a fifty each against their names and the onus will be on them to deliver the goods with the bat. Nicky van den Bergh made an unbeaten 35 against the Cobras and he batted well for his 43 against the Dolphins in the reverse fixture as well. The lions will need these three to make big contributions if they are to do well in the batting department.

Skipper Aaron Phangiso is the one in their bowling lineup with the maximum amount of international experience but he hasn't been able to make an impression yet this season. He has gone wicketless so far and so the Lions will be backing Hardus Viljoen to provide them the early breakthroughs. The fast bowler was impressive against the Dolphins as he took two wickets including that of big fish Morne van Wyk and we predict him to shine with the ball on Sunday.

Dolphins Team News & Playing 11

Their top three in Cameron Delport, Morne van Wyk and Kevin Pietersen form the nucleus of their batting and we expect majority of the runs to come from their bats. Pietersen has just arrived and he may need some time to get accustomed to the conditions, making it even more important for Delport and van Wyk to score. We predict their most consistent batsman van Wyk to top-score for the Dolphins in this match.

Imran Tahir was their key bowler before the start of the competition but he hasn't been able to perform as per the team's expectations. He has taken only two wickets from four games and the Dolphins will want him to return to his old threatening self. Until then, Delport who is among the tournament's leading wicket-takers is going to be their best bet with the ball. The medium pacer had the Lions in all sorts of problems in the first game and he has a good chance of troubling them once again.

Lions vs Dolphins Prediction

Delport and van Wyk are doing a good job with the bat for the Dolphins and the addition of Pietersen has further given their batting a big boost. Bowling, however, remains an issue with Tahir not quite up to the mark and this is an area where the Lions will try to target. 

The Lions will be playing at their home ground which is another plus point for them. They have had a game here this year, and although they lost that game, they still will benefit from having a better clue of how the pitch is going to play. 

But the Dolphins will have the psychological edge of having beaten the Lions three times in their last four encounters. The two sides met before earlier in the ongoing season and the Dolphins emerged winners by 49 runs.

Final Verdict: We recommend betting on the Dolphins to win this match.
