Warriors are favorites to win
Lions will take on Warriors at The Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg in Match 26 of the CSA T20 Challenge. This match gets underway at 6:00pm local time on Wednesday, 27th March, 2024.
There will be some help for the quick bowlers at the start of the game in Johannesburg and batters will need to take a few balls to get in during the opening overs.

Ahead of the start of Wednesday’s fixtures, Lions are in second place although they have not been in brilliant form over their last four games. They were surprisingly beaten by previously winless KZ-N Inland by 8 wickets with 20 balls remaining in the last match.
All four of the top four for Lions will be desperate to get off the mark in this game after they contributed four ducks and were all dismissed by Keith Dudgeon in the last match. However, Wiaan Mulder and Evan Jones showed that there is depth to the batting line-up.
After their top order had collapsed, Lions’ bowlers had a tough job on their hands to defend a target of 91 from 15 overs and ultimately were unable to do so. Bjorn Fortuin has had a strong tournament and we expect him to be back to his best in this game.
Lions have lost two of their last four and won the other two games by either a Super Over or by 1 run!

It has been a season to remember so far for Warriors who come into this match with a 100% record and with a 10 point lead at the top of the table. Although they are up against the second placed side, in their current form, they will fancy their chances of getting another win.
Warriors showed the depth in their batting line-up in their win over North West in Match 24 with keeper-batter Sinethemba Qeshile and Patrick Kruger top scoring from numbers five and six. Skipper and opener Matthew Breetzke is a consistent batter at this level.
Defending a target of 187 against North West, Warriors’ bowlers showed they were far too good for the middle and lower order batters. They will be looking to maintain their high levels again in this game where Patrick Kruger should enjoy the extra pace on offer.
Warriors have won six out of six in this year’s CSA T20 Challenge.

A top two fixture is always one which has a little bit of additional tension and this will be no different in Johannesburg on Wednesday. Warriors have had no problems against any opposition so far and we expect their winning run to continue against a Lions side who have become a little inconsistent of late.
