Lions Team
Opener Ryan Rickelton has scored most runs for the Lions in CSA T20 Challenge 2019 and a good start will be due on him in this Semi-Final match also. Reeza Hendricks, Temba Bavuma and Rassie van der Dussen are the bastmen to follow after Rickelton and these have smashed some runs for the team this season.
Bjorn Fortuin and Aaron Phangiso have taken 11 and 7 wickets respectively in this season of CSA T20. Lizaad Williams will also play an anchor role with ball in this semi-final against Dolphins.
Dolphins Team
After scoring a wonderful 112 not out in the match against Warriors, Vaughn van Jaarsveld continued his form by scoring 48 runs in the next match against Cape Cobras. Morne van Wyk and Cody Chetty are also expected to start off brilliantly with the bat.
Prenelan Subrayen and Robbie Frylinck are the highest wicket takers for Dolphins in CSA 2019 season. These two along with Keshav Maharaj have to take the responsibility of good performance with the ball and look to push the Lions batsmen on backfoot.
