Lions vs Titans Betting Odds
Lions to have a better opening partnership than Titans
Titans and Lions head into this fixture after a similar start to the season. Both sides have won two of the first three games and only one point separates the two teams on the points table. When two sides are so evenly matched a single stat can play a deciding role and separate the two sides which in this case is the opening partnership. Even though Lions have not had a perfect start to the tournament and have their own faults, their opening batsman have excelled in this tournament and have given good starts throughout the tournament. In the three games, Lions have managed an opening stand of 76, 76 and 19 and in two of the three games they have had a better opening stand than their opponents. On the other hand Titans have struggled in this department and in two of the three games, they have conceded a bigger opening partnership which makes us believe Lions would have a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.
