CSA T20 Challenge 2022, Dolphins vs Lions: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report and Weather Forecast 

The eighth match of the CSA T20 Challenge sees Dolphins square off against Lions at St George’s Park in Port Elizabeth. With the two teams being the finalists last season, it promises to be a cracker of a contest.

Dolphins made a winning start to the season against the Knights in a low-scoring affair. Batting first, the Knights struggled throughout the innings as the Dolphins picked up five wickets and restricted them to 128 in their 20 overs.

The batters then stepped up and chased down the total with two overs to spare. Dolphins will look to repeat their performance against the Lions on Thursday.

Lions, meanwhile, lost their opening game against the North West Dragons. It was a hard-fought contest where the defending champions failed to get across the line.

After electing to bowl first, the Lions’ bowlers did a fine job of restricting the Dragons to 136 in their 20 overs. What followed was a disappointing performance from their batters as they only managed to score 125, falling short by 11 runs.

Lions will be looking to register their first win of the competition on Thursday.
