Lions Team News & Playing 11
Reeza Hendricks has been their most dependable batsman this Ram Slam and the onus will be on him to take the team off to a flying start. Rassie van der Dussen has also been amongst the runs and the Lions will have high expectations on him as well. Pace bowling will rely on the likes of Dwaine Pretorius and Kagiso Rabada while skipper Aaron Phangiso will be their best man when it comes to spin.

Knights Team News & Playing 11
David Miller and captain Theunis de Bruyn have done a good job with the bat this season and the Knights will want them to score at a brisk rate and unsettle the bowlers. Keegan Petersen who recently scored an unbeaten fifty against the Lions is another batsman to watch out for. Shadley van Schalkwyk has been very impressive with the ball and the Knights will hope that he picks up a few wickets early on.

Lions vs Knights Prediction
This will be a home game for the Lions and they will gain confidence from having outplayed the Cobras at this venue earlier in the season. However, the Knights have an upper hand when it comes to head-to-head count with 10 wins and a tie in 19 matches. Also, they have won two out of the last three matches against the Lions and we feel they are slightly better placed to win this time as well.
Final Verdict: Back the Knights to beat the Lions.
