Dolphins Team News & Playing 11
DOL Team News
Although they were beaten in the 2021 Final, Dolphins showed no scars from that defeat and began this year’s tournament with an impressive win. With Keegan Petersen and David Miller, no target will seem unachievable and they also have an excellent range of bowlers.
DOL Key Players
- Keegan Petersen - With sharper keeping, the opener could have been dismissed from the first ball of his innings on Tuesday but he rode his luck to contribute a strong score.
- David Miller - The vastly experienced T20 batter got the side over the line with 34 not out from 22 balls against Knights.
- Prenelan Subrayen - The skipper produced a very impressive bowling display. He returned an economy rate of 3.25 and dismissed Pite van Biljon

Lions Team News & Playing 11
LIO Team News
The 2021 Champions will be kicking themselves about how they did not get off to a winning start on Tuesday. Tshepo Ntuli was the only bowler to not pick up a wicket but did contribute economical figures. We expect Lions to line-up with the same XI in this fixture of CSA T20 Challenge 2022 .
LIO Key Players
- Mitchell van Buuren - The middle-order batter hit his highest T20 score on Tuesday. However, he did not hit any sixes which ultimately cost his side victory.
- Joshua Richards - The young opener got the innings off to a solid start with 23 runs from 25 balls including 1 four and 1 six.
- Codi Yusuf - The young all-rounder dismissed two of North West’s top three and returned the best bowling figures for his side with his medium pacers.

Lions have lost two of their last five games in the CSA T20 Challenge.
