Lions To Win

Lions will be joining the current season as the reigning champions. The Lions had been sensational in the last edition of the game. They lost just one game out of the five played and were perched at the second spot of the standing. It was a solid performance for the Lions in the playoffs. The Lions emerged victorious in the league game against the Warriors and were up against Dolphins in the finale of CSA Challenge 2021. They had faced the Warriors on two occasions in the 2021 season and defeated the former by pretty decent margins. The Dolphins were an unbeaten team in the 2021 season and the Lions had only lost to them in the League stage. They got their revenge in the best possible way and in the most important game of the tournament to claim the winners trophy. Lions have a far better batting and bowling lineup which will be very hard to tackle for the North West. With the absence of Temba Bavuma this season, Reeze Hendricks will be a vital cog for the side in the batting department. As for the bowlers, spinner Sisanda Magala will be dangerous on the wickets. Lions are quite a strong side and we are backing them to emerge as the winners in the upcoming fixture. Pari match is offerring winner odds of 1.57 for Lions in the LIO vs NW match prediction.
