Lions vs Dolphins Match Prediction

DOL Team News

As expected, Andile Phehlukwayo replaced Lwandisa Zuma last time out, with the South African all-rounder straight into the thick of the action too. That was the only change from Dolphins’ last completed match, and they could go unchanged this time.

DOL Key Players

World Cup-bound all-rounder Andile Phehlukwayo showed his big-hitting batting ability with 31* from 19 balls in the game against Titans and he will now want his bowling ability to match-up. Phehlukwayo previous took seven wickets in two games against Sri Lanka for South Africa.

He is one of two notable all-rounders in the team, with Robbie Frylinck the other. He hammered 26 off 15 balls against Titans – subdued by some of the standards he set during the Bangladesh Premier League – while he has taken wickets too.

Morne van Wyk (55 from 41 balls) and Cody Chetty (56 from 36) both scored half-centuries against Titans, meanwhile, and will hope to build on that batting form.

With the ball, Prenelan Subrayen took another two wickets to move to seven so far. His economy rate is also excellent, having recorded figures of 2-28 last time out. Daryn Dupavilon, who has four wickets so far, was the only other bowler not to concede at more than ten runs per over.

Dolphins have still not won since beating Knights in their opening game. Either side of a rained-off game against Warriors, Dolphins lost to Cape Cobras and Warriors. In the former, Robbie Frylinck took 2-27 and then hammered a quickfire 47 with the bat but it was not quite enough as they finished 144/5 in reply to 152/6.

Last time out, meanwhile, they posted 185/4 against Titans – Cody Chetty scoring 56 from 36 balls. Prenelan Subrayen took both wickets to fall in the reply, but Titans claimed an eight-wicket win with two overs to spare.
