Kwazulu-Natal Inland vs Lions Top Batters
Yaseen Valli to be the top batter for Kwazulu-Natal Inland
Yaseen Valli was the leading run-scorer for Kwazulu-Natal Inland last season and he played an instrumental role in Kwazulu reaching the finals and getting promoted to division one for the first time in the team's history. Valli has experience of playing in the division one and has a strong technique and plays both fast bowlers and spinners well. He has a much better idea on how the surface at the City Oval, Pietermaritzburg will play out and we back Yaseen Valli to start his campaign with a match winning knock against the defending champions the Lions.
Ryan Rickelton to be the top batter for Lions
Ryan Rickelton played an instrumental role in the Lions winning the championship last season. Rickelton scored 452 runs in seven matches at an average of 64.57 and was the leading run-scorer for the Lions and the top scorer in the tournament.

Considering his performance in recent times, we believe Rickelton to be the best batter to bet on and be the top batter for the Lions.

Malcolm Nofal to be the top bowler for Kwazulu-Natal Inland
Malcolm Nofal picked up 12 wickets in seven matches and bowled at an economy of 4.43 in the CSA Provincial One-Day Challenge Division Two 2022-23 season. Nofal’s efforts with the bowl helped his team reach the finals and get promoted to division one. He is one of the most reliable bowlers for Kwazulu in the last two seasons and we back Nofal to come good and be the top bowler for Kwazulu-Natal Inland against the experienced batting unit of the Lions.
Lutho Simpala to be the top bowler for Lions
Lutho Simpala was the second best bowler (12 wickets in five matches) for the Lions in the CSA Provincial One-Day Challenge Division Two 2022-23 season. Simapala has been the most effective bowler for the Lions and he bowls in the death overs which increases the chances of Simpala bagging few wickets and we believe him to bowl a magical spell and be the top bowler for the defending champions the Lions against the newly promoted Kwazulu-Natal Inland.
