Lions vs Knights Chance of Winning
Knights did not have a great start to the tournament as they lost the opening game against North West by three wins. Once again in the second game Knights were on the other side of the table as they lost a close game in Super Over against Boland. They managed to turn things around in the last game as they beat Warriors by 16 runs.
Much like their opponents, Lions had a disappointing start to the season as they were outplayed by Titans in the opening game which they lost by 117 runs. Lions managed to turn things around as they have won back to back games against Warriors and Dolphins. As per our calculations, Lions are favourites in the upcoming game.

Lions vs Knights 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 three matches as he has scored 2, 6 and 15 which showcases his struggle. We believe Hamza would once again score low in the upcoming game.
Even though Patrick Botha did not have a great game in the last outing he has made a solid start to the tournament as in the first two matches Botha scored 21 and 37 and has looked great thus far which makes us believe he will continue his good form and will score well in the upcoming game.

Lions vs Knights Betting Odds
Lions to have a better opening partnership than Knights
Knights and Lions go head into this game after contrasting start to the campaign. Knights got promoted this year and struggled in the first two matches but managed to turn things around in the last game as they beat the Warriors in the last game. On the other hand, the Lions have won back to back games and would be hoping to continue their winning run when they take on Knights in the next game. What makes this tip so enticing is the fact that in each of the last two games Knights have conceded a bigger opening stand which makes us believe Lions would end up having a better opening stand in the upcoming game and it's a great opportunity to make some quick financial gains.
