Knights Team News & Playing 11
The team's batting firepower resides mainly in David Miller and skipper Theunis de Bruyn who are currently the leading run-getters for their side this season. Miller hit a fifty last time against the Cobras and he will be the key man for the Knights in this match. Shadley van Schalkwyk is a vital cog in this bowling attack. The seamer has taken the most wickets for the Knights this Ram Slam season - seven wickets in four games - and he could pose a stiff challenge to the Lions.

Lions Team News & Playing 11
Reeza Hendricks extended his good form with a brisk knock of 81 against the Warriors in the last game. The opening batsman is currently leading the runs charts and he will be the biggest hope for the Lions with the bat. His partner Rassie van der Dussen has also been impressive in his last three innings. Kagiso Rabada will be the biggest threat for the Knights with the ball. The fast bowler is the season's highest wicket-taker with eight wickets which includes the three he picked up in the last match.

Knights vs Lions Betting Odds
The Knights are the bookmakers' favourites to win this match at odds of 1.72 on Bet365. They have won two and lost as many matches out of the five they have played so far and are currently placed third on the points table. The Lions are just one place below the Knights at the fourth spot having won two out of six league fixtures. Bet365 is offering odds of 2.10 on them to win this match.
Knights vs Lions Prediction
The Lions lost their last two completed fixtures and this might put pressure on them. The Knights have a slight edge here as they have won three of their previous five head-to-head encounters against the Lions. The two teams last faced each other in the 2016 season when the Knights emerged victorious by three runs (D/L method). They are playing on their home ground and so we predict them to win this match.
Final Verdict: Back the Knights to beat the Lions at 1.72 on Bet365.
