Cape Cobras won their last match but they’ve been poor in the tournament and lost all of their previous three games
Lions have a dangerous batting lineup and most of their players are in good form. They also have plenty of depth in their team.
Lions by far have the best bowling lineup with a perfect blend of pace and spin. Rabada, Fortuin, Hendrics won’t give much with the new ball which Phangiso and Magala will be more than handy on this wicket.

Cape Cobras will take on Lions in the 14th match of the CSA T-20 series. The match will be played at the Kinsmead, Durban and is set to get underway at 10:00 AM local time
It’s a very crucial game for Cape Cobras who face a must win situation if they are to qualify for the semi finals. Lions suffered a loss in the previous match but that shouldn’t worry them much.
Cobras batting has got better as the tournament progressed. Zubayr Hamza, Kyle Verreynne, Christian Jonker, George Linde has batted well. The spinners have dominated the tournament and Imran Manack and George Linde have been brilliant for the Cobras. The pacers have bowled well too but a lot will depend how the spinners bowl.
The Lions have roared in the tournament. They had an off day against Dolphins but we expect them be back at their very best. They have the best set of players in the competition and beating the won’t be easy. Temba Bavuma, Reeza Hendricks, Rassie van Der Dussen, Delano Potgieter have batted well. The main weapon though has been their bowling who looks a real force. Kagiso Rabada, Bjorn Fortuin, Beuran Hendrics, Dwaine Pretorios, Aaron Phangiso forms an all round attack. For us, Lions are the favourites

COB vs LIO Dream11 Prediction
Wicket Keeper
Kyle Verreynne at 9.5 is a good pick. He's been very consistent in the last few games and we think he can play a long innings in the next game
Batsmen
Reeza Hendricks at 9.5, Temba Bavuma and Zubayr Hamza at 9.0 and Christiaan Jonker at 8.5 forms a strong batting attack. All of them have performed exceptionally well in the tournament. Hamza has two 50 plus knocks in the last two games while Jonker too have played crucial knocks. Bavuma and Hendricks has batted well too.
All rounder
George Linde at 9.5, Wiaan Mulder at 9.0 and Dwaine Pretorius at 8.5 our all rounders. Linde and Pretorius will be very vital with the ball considering the surface who’s been very helpful for the spinners. They can be handy batsmen as well.
Bowlers
Kagiso Rabada at 9.5, Sisanda Magala and Imran Manack at 8.5 will complete our team. Spinners are most dangerous on this wicket thus Magala and Manack are in the team. We have also picked Rabada as he's bowled well and can be dangerous with the new ball.
Captain /Vice Captain
We’ll go in with Kagiso Rabada as the skipper of the side while Magala can be backed as his deputy
They rested Wiaan Mulder in the previous match and we think he’ll back for this game. Since they have already qualified, they might look to rest some other players Key players
LIO Key Players
Van Der Dussen - He was their top scorer in the previous season but hasn't scored much in this edition. However, looked good in the last match and gritty knock of 33. The innings must have induced a lot of confident which may come in handy in the last match.
Temba Bavuma - Temba Bavuma has batted beautifully for the Lions. He’s been very consistent and would look to play another good knock in the next game.
Sisanda Magala - The spinners are a big threat on this wicket and Magala has bowled well. Against Dolphins, he picked up a 5 wicket haul. He’ll a very important for Lions against Cobras.
LIO Team Form
Lions have been magnificent in the tournament but lost their last match to Dolphins. The batting failed but we expect them to be back to their very best in the upcoming game.

Cape Cobras vs Lions Betting Odds
The defending champions, Lions have been dominating the tournament. They're a quality side and will fancy their chances against Cobras, who have been poor in the tournament and lost 3 off their 4 matches.
Who will win Cape Cobras vs Lions?
Lions are favourites on most platforms. They boast of a quality batting lineup that is backed by fearsome bowling. They will be very hard to beat.
Zunayr Hamza, Kyle Verreyne and Christiaan Jonker are the three players we would like to back. Hamza have two 50 plus knocks in the last two games and Kyle Verreynne has also been good. Though he hasn’t got big scores, he’s looked like getting one. Jonker has also played some quick fiery knocks.
For Lions, we will back Reeza Hendricks, Temba Bavuma and Van Der Dussen to come good as they are their best batsmen. Reeza Hendricks failed in the last game but before that game he played well for his 47 against the knights so he’s in good form. Temba Bavuma has been their most consistent batsmen while Van der Dussen looked like getting back to form in the last game.
The spinners are enjoying on this wicket so we’ll go in with Linde and Imran Manack as their two main bowlers. We’ll also back CG bosch to come good as he’s their lead pacer
Kagiso Rabada, Beuran Hendricks and Sisanda Magala are the three top bowlers. All of them have been bowling magnificently. Magala even picked up a 5-fer in the against the Knights. Being a spinner, he’ll pose a stern challenge to the Cobras
Lions did lost their last match but they have been the best team of the tournament. They are laced with top quality players who on their day can decimate an opposition. Cobras on the other hand delivered fine performance in the last game but they've generally very poor. We have some concerns about their consistency. We'll go in with Lions as the winners.
