The team that wins the toss is recommended to bowl first and wrap the other team up early on in the game as the ground will not favour scoring of big runs.
Lions Team News & Playing 11
Team News
None of the players are injured and there are no big changes expected in the squad.
Key Players
The Lions have a decent batting side but their main issue is they haven’t performed consistently. Rassie van der Dussen and Mangaliso Mosehle have scored well in the past and the players can be expected to score good runs, with the team closing in on the playoffs. Reeza Hendricks is also likely to contribute to a big innings. The star performer in the bowling side has been Hardus Viljoen, who is in brilliant form, and the team will be looking up to him to take most of the wickets. With some help from Bjorn Fortuin and Eddie Leie, the Lions can wrap up the Knights with ease.
Recent Form
The Lions are in the top half of the table and are doing fairly well. They need to win the rest of the games in order to secure a place in the playoffs, and can possibly do that if they play tightly as a team and focus on their batting.
Lions Predicted XI
-
Rassie van der Dussen, Mangaliso Mosehle (wk), Reeza Hendricks, Omphile Ramela, Hardus Viljoen, Bjorn Fortuin, Eddie Leie, Nicky van den Bergh, Dwaine Pretorius, Matt McGillivray, Aaron Phangiso.
Knights Team News & Playing 11
Team News
No major changes expected in the team and none of the players are injured.
Key Players
Theunis de Bruyn will be the key batsmen for the Knights and the team will be expecting him to score a big innings against the Lions. Bruyn, along with Patrick Kruger and David Miller, can build a good batting partnership and put up good runs on the scoreboard. The bowling department has been struggling ever since the beginning of the season and not much is expected from them. Going by the team’s performance in the previous matches, Marchant de Lange and Patrick Kruger are the only ones the team can hope to take some wickets.
Recent Form
The Knights have been in a constant struggle in this season and are at the bottom of the points table. At this point, they really need a miracle to make it to the playoffs. Although it will be difficult for them to win this match against the Lions, they can put in their best efforts, especially in their bowling, to give a competition to the Lions.
Knights Predicted XI
-
Theunis de Bruyn, Michael Erlank, Leus du Plooy, Pite van Biljon, Marchant de Lange, Aubrey Swanepoel, LM Zuma, Duane Olivier, Tumelo Bodibe (wk), SC van Schalkwyk, Luthando Mnyanda.
Lions vs Knights Head To Head
The Lions and the Knights have played against each other once in this season and the Lions won that match by 20 runs. The Lions overpowered the Knights by scoring a brilliant 182 and Bjorn Fortuin took 4 wickets in the game. Both teams will be fighting hard to win this match in order to reach the playoffs.
Lions vs Knights Betting Odds
The Lions are the favoured team to win this match and are fully capable of winning over the Knights, with their odds at 1.50 with bet365. The Knights are not doing so well in this season and the chances of them beating the Lions are not so bright, their odds being 2.62 with bet365.
Lions vs Knights Prediction
The Lions are in a much better form than the Knights, especially the bowlers. The Lions need to win this match in order to get closer to qualifying for the playoffs, while the Knights would need other teams to lose in addition to winning this match, to qualify, but the scenario is highly unlikely. The team that puts up big runs on the scoreboard is most likely to win this match.
The Lions have a better performance record than the Knights, plus a brilliant bowling side and we predict them to win this match against the Knights.
