Momentum Cup at Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein 5:00 PM IST

Lions to outscore the Knights for the opening stand

In the eight matches played this season, Lions have scored 331 runs overall for the opening stand at an average of 41.37 while conceding 243 runs at an average of 30.37 per innings in the same time frame. Lions have outscored their opponents for the opening stand in four of those matches. Knights on the other hand have just scored 256 runs overall for the opening stand and have outscored their opponents on just three instances. Clearly, Lions have a head start in terms of this particular bet.

In the last four head to head matches, it is even stevens in terms of the highest opening partnership. But the Lions have scored more runs for the opening stand in two of the last three matches, while the Knights have done the same in the remaining match. So it is likely that the Lions will score more runs for the opening stand than the Knights. Just place this bet as quickly as possible, cause handsome rewards are waiting for you on the other side.

Not expecting a batsman to reach the three-figure mark

So far in this tournament, Lions batsmen have managed to score just two centuries in eight matches, with one from the bat of Ryan Rickelton and the other from Reeza Hendricks. On the other hand, they have conceded just two centuries as well, one against the Cape Cobras and the other one against the Titans in the previous match. So, it’s proven that centuries are hard to come by in this particular tournament. Even in the last two matches at this venue (Bloemfontein), no centuries were scored.

Similar to the Lions, the Knights also just managed to score two centuries, coming each from Andries Gous and Jacques Snyman. Even the Knights have just conceded two centuries, both against the Titans. In the last five head to head matches, just one century was scored between these two teams. The probabillty of someone reaching the three-figure is slim and simultaneously our chances of earning some extra money is brighter. All you need to do is invest on this particular deal on Bet 365.

Lions to have the last laugh

The Lions are currently in second place with 22 points, while the Knights are in fifth place with just 14 points. Lions are coming into this match with a loss against the Titans, but they have won five of the eight games played in this season. On the other hand, the Knights, even if they are coming with a win over the bottom dwellers Cape Cobras, have just won three matches out of their eight matches. Albeit you have figured out how these two teams are having contrasting campaigns so far.

In the last five matches, the Lions managed to win three matches, while the Knights have surprisingly managed to maintain a similar record in the same period. For the records, the Lions emerged victorious in the reverse fixture played this season. To sum it up, let me inform you that the Knights have failed to win a single game against the Lions in the last five head to head matches. So with a better batting unit, the Lions are likely to win the match. What are you waiting for? Just place this bet.
