The Warriors have a formidable batting line-up with Gihahn Cloete, JJ Smuts and Sinethemba Qeshile being the key figures. The hosts will be expecting these three batsmen to do the bulk of the scoring for them. Smuts had smashed an unbeaten half-century in one of the reverse encounters against the Lions in the previous season and he will look to play a similar knock here. Cloete batted well for his 46 in the last week's match against the Titans and it will be crucial that he takes the Warriors off to a good start. Sisanda Magala, Lutho Sipamla and Andrew Birch are the main threats in this bowling attack. The home team will back this pace troika to run through the batting line-up of the Lions and push them on the back foot early on. Skipper Smuts can also be handy with his left-arm spin.

The Lions have a power-packed top-order batting with the likes of Ryan Rickelton, Reeza Hendricks, Rassie van der Dussen and skipper Temba Bavuma. Rickelton had a good outing in the first game against the Cobras where he struck a 43-ball 69 while Hendricks scored 81 and 41* respectively in his two innings against the Warriors last season. Bavuma has also chipped in with handy contributions and he is the team's most reliable man in the middle order. The Lions will turn to their premier pace bowler Beuran Hendricks to provide them the early breakthroughs in the powerplay. He is likely to open the bowling with left-arm spinner Bjorn Fortuin who is looking in threatening form this season. Dwaine Pretorius and Aaron Phangiso are two other quality bowlers in the side and they both have plenty of international experience under their belt.

Warriors and Lions have faced each other 24 times in the South African domestic twenty20 tournaments and the scoreline reads 15-8 in favor of the former with one of those encounters having ended in a tie. The Warriors also have the upper hand in the fact that they have beaten the Lions four times in their previous five attempts. However, the Lions have assembled a strong team for this year's CSA T20 Challenge. They have more firepower in their batting line-up and have more variety in their bowling department. The Warriors may have the home advantage in their favor, but we feel the Lions have a better chance of winning this time around.
Final Verdict: Back Lions to beat Warriors.
