Lions vs Kwazulu-Natal Inland Betting Tips

Lions to score high before 1st dismissal

Lions are not having a good campaign in the competition. They are having problems with consistency in the tournament. Dominic Hendricks and Joshua Richards open for the team and average at 12.57 & 28.57 respectively in the competition. The pair did not yield good results in their opening partnership. They scored 20, 156, 4 & 9 runs before their first dismissal in the four games. In three out of those four instances, Lions lost their first wicket pretty early in the game. Hendricks went out with a low score in almost all the games this season and hence averages extremely low for an opener in the competition. Having said that, you should put your money on this betting tip for a huge payout.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Lions

Kwazulu-Natal Inland did not have a positive moment in the competition yet. They have not won a single game and are at the bottom of the table. Their batting order looks fragile and the bowling order did not make any leaps either. On the other hand, Lions have a much better batting options in the team and their bowlers are doing equally well in the competition too. The teams have not clashed before in the format but looking at the team’s forms, Lions will have an upper-hand here.
