Lions vs Warriors Predictions

This is a top-of-the-table clash between 2nd-placed Lions with four wins from six matches and the Warriors in top spot. The Warriors have had a magnificent season, winning six out of six of the matches they have played. The Warriors are 10 points ahead of the Lions.

Warriors’ Jiveshan Pillay (184 runs) is 4th in the CSA T20 Challenge runs list.
Warriors’ Matthew Breetzke has scored 53* & 37 in his last 2 innings.
Lions’ Ryan Rickelton has scored 75, 34, 24 & 22* in his last 5 innings.
Lions’ Wiaan Mulder has scored 48 & 36* in his last 3 innings.

Head-to-Head

The Lions have won four of the last five matches between the two sides, with the Warriors claiming the other victory.

Lions Form

After winning two matches on the bounce (the second a tied match with WP which the Lions won on a Super Over), the Lions came back to earth with a defeat at the hands of KZN-Inland in a rain-reduced match.

All four of the Lions’ top four batters were dismissed for ducks, Wiaan Mulder (36*) and Evan Jones (29) dragging the Lions to just 90/5 off their 15 overs.

KZN-Inland raced to the win with 20 balls and eight wickets in hand.

Lions Team News

There are no injury reports from the Lions squad.

Warriors Form

The Warriors made it six wins from six when they defeated North West by 24 runs.

The Warriors piled on 186/5 off their 20 overs, Sinethemba Qeshile (51* off 30 balls) and Patrick Kruger (46 off 21 balls) adding 93 for the fifth wicket in seven overs.

After a good start, North West were restricted to 162/9 off their 20 overs. Beyers Swanepoel (2/28), Renaldo Meyer (2/38) and JP King (2/13) all bowled superbly.

Warriors Team News

Warriors are in fantastic form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

Verdict

Lions v Warriors

I am backing the Warriors to win. I am also backing Jiveshan Pillay to top score for the Warriors.

Ryan Rickelton is a good bet to top score for the Lions.
