Lions vs Warriors Betting Tips

Warriors to score high before 1st dismissal (@Parimatch)

The Warriors finished at the 5th place last season. The team had a good squad but failed to capitalise on that. The opening order revolved around Jiveshan Pillay and Jordan Hermann last season. The pair entered as openers in this season as well. The team faced North West and scored 1 run before Jiveshan Pillay lost his wicket in the first innings. Andile Mokgakane replaced Pillay in the opening order recently. The team scored 51 & 11 runs before their first dismissal in the next two games. That said, the openers look in inconsistent form and are very likely to face an early dismissal in the next game.

Lions vs Warriors Toss Prediction

Known as the "Bullring," Wanderers offers a hard and bouncy pitch that traditionally favours fast bowlers, especially on the first day. The surface provides significant seam movement early on but flattens out later, making batting progressively easier. On the fourth and fifth days, the pitch may develop cracks, offering assistance to spinners and making batting challenging. Captains often opt to bowl first at Wanderers to exploit the early assistance for pacers and aim for early breakthroughs.

Weather Report

On November 28, Johannesburg is expected to have mild and pleasant spring weather. The forecast includes a mix of sunny skies with temperatures ranging from around 18°C to 23°C.
