KNIGHTS BETTING ANALYSIS
Batting first, the Knights put up 166/9 against Warriors in their last game, Garnett Tarr striking 50 from just 28 balls, which included four maximums. After a slow start with the ball that saw Warriors rack up 108 without losing a wicket, the Knights rallied to trigger a dramatic collapse. Six wickets fell for just 32 runs with Malusi Siboto taking four as Knights restricted their opponents to 150, winning by 16 runs.
LIONS BETTING ANALYSIS
Lions survived a late Dolphins rally to secure a crucial victory in Johannesburg this past weekend. This leaves them with a positive win-loss ratio of 2-1 after three league stage fixtures. Despite not having any real star names, a strong domestic core has carried the Lions through and they are well-set to continue their growth as the competition continues.
KNIGHTS VS LIONS EXPERT PREDICTION
This is a match that really could go either way. Both teams have the ability to snuff the other out with disciplined, smart bowling, but at the same time, each can call upon significant batting depth down their respective orders. In the end, Knights boasting home advantage may just tip the scales in their favour and makes backing them to win worthy of consideration.
