North West vs Lions Predictions

North West are in a good position to pull off a place in the final after a poor start to their season. After losing their opening two matches they won the next three, while the Lions had to wait for their fifth match to nail their first win.

North West’s Raynard van Tonder (288 runs) is 5th in the CSA One-Day Cup runs list after just 4 innings.
North West’s Meeka-eel Prince has scored 166 & 89 in his last 3 innings.
Lions’ Joshua Richards has scored 76 & 54 in his last 2 innings.
Lions’ Dominic Hendricks scored 92 in the loss to the Warriors.

Head-to-Head

This will be the third meeting between the two teams. Last year their first meeting was abandoned without a ball bowled, and the Lions won the second meeting by 133 runs.

North West Form

North West made it three wins in a row as they push for a place in the final, beating the Titans by eight wickets.

The Titans were bowled out for 207 in the 38th over, Kerwin Mungroo (2/33) returning the best figures with the ball.

North West had no trouble knocking off the runs for the win in just 31 overs, Meeka-eel Prince scoring 89 off 78 balls.

North West Team News

North West are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

Lions Form

After suffering three losses and the frustration of a no result against the Dolphins, the Lions finally picked up a win by defeating Boland by five wickets.

Boland could only manage 240/8 off their 50 overs, Bjorn Fortuin (3/27) returning the best figures of the innings.

The Lions stormed to victory in the 46th over, reaching 246/5 thanks to half-centuries from Joshua Richards (54) and Mitchell Van Buuren (52).

Lions Team News

The Lions have a strong batting line-up, but they will be hoping for a big performance from Proteas spinner Bjorn Fortuin, who has had an excellent tournament so far.

Verdict

North West Dragons v Lions - One Day Match

I am backing North West to win. I am also backing Raynard van Tonder to top score for North West.

Joshua Richards is a good bet to top score for the Lions.
