By Pranob Thachanthara

Hello and Welcome to our preview for Knights vs Lions match. We are covering HL vs KTS Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the ODD match. The match is to be played at Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein.

Team Knights are in a very poor form and are yet to get a victory this season. They lost their last match to Dolphins by 22 runs. Batting first, Rudi Second played a good knock of 74 runs and was supported by Ryan Mclaren, Gous and Petersen to give a target of 258 to Dolphins which was later chased easily. Merchant De Lange was the only positive with the ball taking three-wicket haul. They will hope to register their first victory tomorrow and improve their standing in the points table.

Lions are just above Knights with only one win in seven matches with two being abandoned due to rain. They also lost their last match to Cape Cobras by 3 runs in last over. Bowling first, B Fortuin and D Pretorius took two wickets each to restrict Cobras at 281. Chasing the target, Dominic Hendricks and Dwaine Pretorius scored brilliant knocks of 107 and 99 respectively but failed to win the match for the team in last over. They will are virtually out of the season but will hope to put their best effort in remaining matches.

A good match can be expected between both teams.
