Cape Cobras Team News & Playing 11
The team's batting relies heavily on Hashim Amla and JP Duminy. Amla has scored 100 runs in three games and is averaging 50 while Duminy will be going into this game with scores of 55 and 40 in his last two innings. Vernon Philander has done a good job with the ball having taken four wickets in three matches. The fast bowler took two wickets last time against the Titans and he could trouble the Lions here as well. Dane Paterson will be another threat with the swinging new ball.

Lions Team News & Playing 11
Reeza Hendricks has had a tremendous start to the season with big contributions in all three matches. He hit an unbeaten hundred in his last outing against the Dolphins and looks set for another good knock. His opening partner Rassie van der Dussen smashed a fifty in that game and the Lions will be having plenty of hopes pinned on him as well. While Kagiso Rabada will be the trump card in the team's pace attack, skipper Aaron Phangiso will be their go-to man when it comes to spin. The left-arm spinner currently has the best bowling figures in the side.

Cobras vs Lions Betting Odds
Highveld Lions are currently placed second on the points table with two wins and a defeat in three league games while Cape Cobras are second to bottom with defeats in all the three games they have played so far. The Lions, after being crushed in the first game at the hands of Titans, have bounced back well to win their next two fixtures and will be looking to extend their winning streak. Surprisingly, Bet365 is offering a high price of 2.10 on them to win this match while setting the Cobras shorter at 1.72.
Cobras vs Lions Prediction
Cape Cobras have a strong lineup this season but they don't seem to be gelling well together as a unit and are struggling with the ball despite having a quality attack. There is also going to be a lot of pressure on them after having lost their first three matches. The Lions on the other hand will be confident after back-to-back wins and have an upper hand in that they have beaten the Cobras four times in their last five meetings. The Lions registered a comfortable seven-wicket victory against the Cobras in the earlier encounter and we predict them to emerge victorious again.
Final Verdict: Back the Lions to beat the Cobras at 2.10 on Bet365.
