It was a fine group stage campaign for Lions who finished top of the table with 10 wins from their 14 matches. They also ended the group stage in fine form including with a seven wicket victory over bottom of the table KZN-Inland on Sunday but they did lose to Titans in their last head to head.
Requiring 133 runs to win on Sunday there was a 49 runs from 38 balls at the top of the order from Zubayr Hamza and a welcome return to form from Rassie van der Dussen who scored 51 not out from 35 balls. Temba Bavuma will be desperate to make up for his six ball duck on Sunday in this game.
Lions are a fine team with the ball and this was shown again on Sunday when they restricted the opposition to 132/9 from their 20 overs. Of the bowling attack, young spinner Nqabayomzi Peter and captain Bjorn Fortuin both come into this semi-final in strong form.
Lions have won six of their last seven games ahead of this semi-final on Wednesday.

Although Titans finished in fourth place, the final semi-final spot, they come into the last four in fantastic form. After beating lions in Match 51, they followed it up with another victory over Western Province by six wickets on Sunday to secure their position in this semi-final
Lhuan-dre Pretorius Was the hero with the bat on Sunday as he hits three fours and four sixes in his 52 runs from 32 balls. Rivaldo Moonsamy could only make four runs at the top of the order but he has had a fine tournament and could be a match winner in this game.
Once again Titans bowling attack proved to be too hot to handle as Western Province could post only 113/9. Junior Dala and Corbin Bosch come into this match after taking three-wicket hauls in the last game but David Wiese and Lungi Ngidi have also been performing to a high level.
Titans put together a fine run of form to claim fourth place and are targeting their fifth win in a row.

Looking at both semi-finals of the tournament, this match is the most mouthwatering prospect as Lions were deserved winners of the group stage but Titans are in stronger form and defeated them in a close contest the last time they met. Our prediction is for another close fixture but with Lions getting the win this time.
