Lions vs Dolphins Prediction & Betting Tips 2024
Zubayr Hamza only played three games last season but looked promising and has played both games thus far. Hamza has struggled to make an impact in the two matches as he has scored two and six which showcases his struggle. We believe Hamza will score low in the upcoming game.
Bryce Parsons had a solid campaign last season as he scored 287 runs with an average of 41 which was pretty impressive. This season Parsons has struggled thus far as he scored seven and three and in the last game against Lions he scored three which makes us believe he will score well in the upcoming game.

Lions vs Dolphins Betting Odds
Lions to have a better opening partnership than Dolphins
Dolphins and Lions go head to head which would be the repeat of the finals where Lions won the game with seven wickets to spare and they also had a better opening partnership in the game. Both sides went head to head three times last season and in two of the three matches Lions had a better opening partnership. Dolphins have struggled to find their footing thus far as they have lost both games thus far. We expect their struggles to continue in this game and Lions to dominate with the new ball. Looking at the form of both sides, we believe Lions would end up having a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.

Reeza Hendricks to be Lions’ top batter
Reeza Hendricks had a brilliant campaign last season as he was one of the most consistent batsmen for Lions. In the last game Hendricks scored 41 off 26 balls which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Khaya Zondo to be Dolphins’ top batter
Khaya Zondo did not have a great season last year as he scored 265 runs with an average of 20.38. Dolphins have struggled thus far but Zondo has still managed to score 25 and 24 which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Junaid Dawood to be Lions’ top bowler
Junaid Dawood only played three games last season but still managed to bag five wickets last season. Dawood was sensational in the last game as he bagged five wickets which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Okuhle Cele had a brilliant campaign last season as he bagged 17 wickets and was the leading wicket taker for Dolphins last season. After a disappointing start we expect him to bounce back and make an impact which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
