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.

Lions vs North West Betting Odds

In the recent Titans game, they went against the Dolphins. It was an opportunity to build confidence after their loss in the previous game before this. The game was shortened to 9 overs due to bad weather. Dolphins scored 98/6. Codi Yusuf was vigilant from the Titans and picked 3 wickets for the team. Chasing the target, Ryan Rickleton was fantastic with the bat and secured an unbeaten innings of 53 runs off 23 balls in the game. Lions are a very strong team and will exploit their talented line-up in the next game against North West.

North West clashed against Western Province in the last game. North West raised 155/8 in 20 overs. Raynard van Tonder scored 39 runs, batting in the middle order. Rubin Hermann chipped in 30 runs on his own. But the NW bowlers did well in the game. They restricted Western Province at 144 to win the game by 11 runs.
