Lions vs North West Betting Tips
Lions to score high before 1st dismissal ( @Parimatch)
Lions have delivered high intensity performances in the last two games. They stood out with their batting order and scored a pretty high score in the last game. Their openers, Reeza Hendricks and Ryan Rickleton have finally taken control of their innings and are smashing away the bowlers in their games. Hendricks and Rickleton average at 34.37 & 46.57 respectively in the current competition. The pair secured 47, 151 & 59 runs for their opening partnership in the last three games. In the last match, Rickleton smashed an unbeaten 53 runs whereas Hendricks knocked 18 runs. In the last meeting with North West, Lions scored 76 runs before their 1st dismissal. That said, the openers will be keen on batting an expensive innings in the next game.
