Warriors to Win and Set Up Final Clash with the Titans
The league stage is done and dusted and the tournament has now entered its knockout phase with the Qualifier scheduled to be played between the Lions and the Warriors on December 13. St George's Park, Port Elizabeth will be the setting for this virtual semi-final and live action will commence at 6 PM local time. The winner of this battle will face the Titans in the final of the CSA T20 Challenge 2016.
Toss
Two games have been played so far at the St George's Park this season and both of them were won by the Warriors who batted second. The wicket is expected to remain good for batting throughout the match and so the team that wins the toss may want to chase here. Betting on the Warriors if they bat second should be the right move.

Lions Team News & Playing 11
Team News
The Lions are unlikely to undergo any major alterations for this fixture and they will be coming with a full-strength squad.
Key Players
Rassie van der Dussen has hit three fifties this season, the most recent of which came in his last innings against the Warriors. The opener is the team's leading run-getter and it is crucial that he fires on Tuesday. Hardus Viljoen has surpassed Andrew Birch of the Warriors as the tournament's highest wicket-taker. The pacer has taken five wickets against the Warriors this season and we predict him to do the most damage with the ball.
Recent Form
The Lions have been doing very well of late having won four out of their past six matches. They will be heading into this match off the back of a 22-run victory over Cape Cobras in their previous fixture.
Lions Predicted XI
-
HE van der Dussen, RR Hendricks, D Pretorius, M Mosehle (wk), NJ van den Bergh, T Bavuma, PWA Mulder, GC Viljoen, BC Fortuin, AM Phangiso (c) and E Leie.
Warriors Team News & Playing 11
Team News
No injuries have been reported in the side as of yet and the Warriors are expected to retain the same combination from their previous match.
Key Players
JJ Smuts and Colin Ingram have been the most consistent batsmen for the Warriors. Skipper Smuts is averaging 49.14 and has scored the most runs for his side. We therefore predict him to top-score against the Lions. Andrew Birch has been their go-to bowler for picking up wickets and he will continue to be their key bowler in this match as well. The seamer has taken 17 scalps this season and looks the most threatening in the Warriors’ attack.
Recent Form
The Warriors suffered a narrow six-run loss at the hands of the Titans in their final league-stage game. However, they have shown excellent performances in their recent games and seem to be in good form with five wins from their last seven fixtures.
Warriors Predicted XI
-
JJ Smuts (c), CA Ingram, C Jonker, MQ Adams, C Fortuin (wk), SSB Magala, KJ Abbott, LC Ngoepe, SSN Nqweni, ACR Birch and BD Walters.
Lions vs Warriors Head-to-Head
Out of the 21 matches that have been played between these two teams, 12 have been won by the Warriors and 8 by the Lions. The remaining one match had resulted in a tie. The Lions had won by five runs in their most recent encounter at the Kingsmead, Durban.
Lions vs Warriors Betting Odds
The Warriors hold a 59.52 win percentage over the Lions and since they have done quite well against them in the past, 1xbet and bet365 have them as favorites to win this contest at 1.5 and 1.72 respectively. Despite outplaying the Warriors in their most recent face-off at Durban, the Lions are still outsiders for this one at 1.7 with betfair and 2.10 with bet365.
Lions vs Warriors Prediction
The Lions and Warriors have played top-class cricket to reach this far and are now just two more wins away from getting their hands on this year's trophy. So both will look to give their all and leave no stone unturned. The two teams have been neck-and-neck this season and one can expect a hard-fought contest on Tuesday.
The Lions will be coming with a win in their last match and therefore will bring the momentum with them as opposed to the Warriors who went down to the Titans in their last match. The Warriors however will have the advantage of playing at their home ground where they haven't lost a game this year. They outperformed the Lions here earlier and we feel they have a good chance of doing it again come Tuesday.
Final Verdict: We recommend betting on the Warriors to win this match.
