Lions vs Warriors, CSA T20 Challenge 2021

Imperial Lions will take on Warriors in the third match of the CSA T-20 series. The match will be played at the Kinsmead, Durban and is set to get underway at 10:00 Am local time.

Both Lions and Warriors were the two best performers of the previous edition. While Warriors finished the league stages as the top ranked team, Lions were not far behind and were places at the second spot in the points table. Lions are coming back from a scintillating performances in the momentum one day cup and even though the format of the tournament was different, the core of the team is pretty much the same. Kagiso Rabada, Lutho Sipamla, Beuran Hendricks and Sisanda Magala form a strong pace attack while Bjorn Fortuin and Aaron Phangiso will the spinners. All rounders like Wiaan Mulder and Dwaine Pretorius adds a lot of depth in the team and allows them to play am extra batsman. When it comes to the batting, Temba Bavuma, Reeza Hendricks, Rassie Van Der Dussen and Ryan Rickelton have proven their mettle all around the globe. 

Warriors struggled in the momentum one day cup but they'll hope for a change in fortune in this new tournament. For us, the batting for Warriors look weak. They are heavily relied on JJ Smuts and if he fails to perform, Warriors will be under pressure. Other than him, Gihahn Cloete, Marco Marais, and Sinethemba Qeshile will be the main pillars of the batting.

Just like their batting, the bowling also looks slightly vulnerable. Anrich Nortje is there but there is plenty of inexperience in the team.

Toss Prediction

Both teams might to look to bat first and defend the target.

Pitch Report

The pitch will be very good to bat. The hardness of the pitch will allow bowlers like Rabada and Nortje to get some extra bounce that will test the batmen with the new ball

Weather Report

Some thunderstorm are expected on the match day which may cause some hindrance in the match.

Lions Team News & Playing 11

LIO Team News

Lions will be playing a full strength squad and getting past them won't be easy for any team in the CSA T20 Challenge 2021

LIO Key Players 

  • Rassie Van Der Dussen - Van Der Dussen is highly regarded as a very dangerous batsmen. He was the top scorer for Lions in the previous edition and can be backed to do well in this season as well. 
  • Temba Bavuma - Temba Bavuma is another player that has done well in this tournament. He scored a hundred in the final to help Lions win the tournament. Though his recent form is not that great, we think the shorter formats will allow him to play with no pressure that'll get the best out of him.
  • Kagiso Rabada - Rabada is one of the best bowlers going around and will a challenge for the Warriors batting line up.

LIO Team Form

Lions had a fantastic last season and won the championship after defeating Warriors by 15 runs. They were in good form in the recently concluded momentum cup as well.

  • Batsmen

    Rassie van Der Dussen at 10, Reeza Hendricks at 9.5, Gihahn Coyte at 9.0 and Temba Bavuma at 9.9 form a strong batting. Dussen, Hendricks and Bavuma are the permanent members of SA national side and have done really well while Gihahn Coyte is the second best batsmen for Warriors after Smuts

  • All rounder

    JJ Smuts and Dwaine Pretorius at 10.0 and 8.5 respectively will be our all rounders. Smuts scored a hundred in the final of the last season and is the best batsmen for Warriors. Pretorius haa done well for SA in this format.

Warriors Team News & Playing 11

WAR Team News

Unlike their opponents, Warriors have just two international players in their ranks. Rest of the squad is pretty inexperienced.

WAR Key Players

  • JJ Smuts - JJ Smuts has plenty of experience in playing T20 cricket. He has represented many franchises all across the globe. He scored a hundred in the final of the last season and is expected to do well.
  • Gihaan Cloete - He is one of the key performer for Warriors and we expect him to have a good start to the tournament.
  • Anrich Nortje - Nortjhe brings a lot with him in this format of the game. He can trouble the batsmen with his pace and extract bounce even on a dead wicket. He'll be dangerous on this Durban wicket.

WAR Team Form

Warriors had a decent last season as they finished as runners up after losing to Lions in the final. However, their recent form hasn't been that great.
