Lions Team News & Playing 11
LIO Team News
Lions have not played since beating Titans, seeing two matches fall foul of the weather since. Nono Pongolo and Migael Pretorius were brought into the team for that game – replacing Beuran Hendricks and Wihan Lubbe – and could retain their places.
LIO Key Players
Rassie van der Dussen could be a key figure in South Africa’s batting line-up for the World Cup and he was in top form in Lions’ most recent completed match – top-scoring with 85 in the win against Titans.
Both he and Reeza Hendricks had taken time to find their best form, but both were back to their big-hitting best in that game – Hendricks scored 77 and the two shared a 151-run partnership.
Previously, Ryan Rickleton had led the Lions’ batting with Van der Dussen and Hendricks short of runs. He hit half-centuries in two of the first three matches and has 142 runs in total.
On the bowling front, Bjorn Fortuin leads the way with nine wickets so far in CSA T20 Challenge 2019 and some superb economical bowling too – going for just 4.57 runs per over so far. Aaron Phangiso has taken seven wickets and has an economy rate of 5.20.
LIO Team Form
Lions lost their first match – finishing five runs short of Cape Cobras’ 169/8 despite Ryan Rickleton’s 43-ball 69 – but they have won all three completed matches since.
An 18-run win against Dolphins, in which Bjorn Fortuin took 2-14 for the second consecutive game, followed, before Rickleton’s 51 and Fortuin’s 3-10 helped them post 150/7 and beat Knights by 40 runs.
Since then, however, three of their four matches have been rained off. In their one completed game, Rassie van der Dussen (85) and Reeza Hendricks (77) were in superb batting form against Titans. They led Lions to 181/4 and an eventual 19-run win.
Lions Predicted Playing 11
Ryan Rickleton, Reeza Hendricks, Rassie van der Dussen, Dwaine Pretoruis, Wiaan Mulder, Temba Bavuma, Nono Pongolo, Bjorn Fortuin, Magael Pretorius, Aaron Phangiso, Malusi Siboto
Warriors Team News & Playing 11
WAR Team News
After more rain-related frustration last time out, Warriors could still stick with the team that started their most recent completed game – Thomas Kaber having returned in place of Lesiba Ngoepe for the win against Cape Cobras.
WAR Key Players
Marco Marais was in superb batting form before the rain came in the most recent meeting between these teams. He was unbeaten on 82 from 33 balls and that form continued in his only innings since, against Cape Cobras. On that occasion he smashed 75 from 36 balls to help Warriors beat the league leaders.Gihahn Cloete had previously been their top batsman, top-scoring in the first two completed games – including his quick-fire unbeaten 46 in the first game that led them to a D/L-method victory.
With so many games cut short because of the weather, there has been little chance for the bowlers to find rhythm with the ball. Lutho Sipamla has four wickets after taking two more against Cape Cobras in their most recent win. Sisanda Magala now has three meanwhile, and his economical bowling was a key factor in their narrow win against the Cobras.
WAR Team Form
Four of Warriors’ seven games have been rained off so far, though the weather was responsible for one of their two wins in the three completed games. Replying to Titans’ 216/5, Gihahn Cloete’s unbeaten 46 led Warriors to 60/0 from six overs in that first game – and a four-run D/L method win.
Their two other completed matches were both against Cape Cobras. In the first, they posted a below-par 151/8 and crashed to a seven-wicket defeat with 4.1 overs still to bowl.
In the reverse fixture, however, Marco Marais’ 75 from 36 balls led them to 189 and Sisanda Magala’s economical bowling helped them to hold on for a ten-run win.
Warriors Predicted Playing 11
Matthew Breetzke, Gihahn Cloete, JJ Smuts, Onke Nyaku, Marco Marais, Thomas Kaber, Sinethemba Qeshile, Sisanda Magala, Andrew Birch, Jade de Klerk, Lutho Sipamla

Lions vs Warriors Head to Head
There was no result when these sides last met – Warriors’ innings cut short to mean Marco Marais’ superb innings counted for nothing. It was the first time in 25 previous T20 fixtures there had been no result in this match – Warriors winning 15 and Lions’ eight of the other 24, with one tie.
Warriors previously won both matches between the two teams last season and have won three in a ow in total.

Lions also have Bjorn Fortuin and Aaron Phangiso in excellent form with the ball. Fortuin is 3.60 to be their top bowler, while Phangiso is 4.00 – both with Betway.
🏆 Lions vs Warriors Prediction
