Lions

Although they have played a game less and have a better net-run-rate, Lions are level on points with Western Province with one win from five matches. They have lost only one of their last three matches but that came against Dolphins on Wednesday.

LIO Batting

Lions should have been able to post more than their impressive score of 163-6 against Dolphins, particularly as they were 137-2 with 20 balls remaining. Their top four batters scored between 27 and 42 with Mitchell van Buuren hitting four fours and a six in his innings.

LIO Bowling

Lions were capable of taking only one wicket in Match 17 with medium pacer Codi Yusuf dismissing Grant Roelofsen for 44 runs from 40 balls. Yusuf had dismissed only one other player in the tournament and leading wicket taker Lutho Sipamla missed the game. We expect Sipamla to be back for this game.
