THE PREDICTION

The Lions progressed to the final of the CSA T20 Challenge by winning the play-off on Saturday against the Warriors, but now they have to overcome the impressive Dolphins. These have been the best two teams in the tournament and the only defeat either team has suffered came when the Dolphins beat the Lions in the group stage by 41 runs. The Dolphins posted a respectable 151/4 in that game batting first but then produced a stunning bowling performance to skittle the Lions for just 110. The Dolphins have won every single game played and their confidence will be flying coming into this final. The Lions will be fired up however and they have arguably the greater quality in their ranks. They have the momentum of the win on Saturday to bring into this game and they are so strong in all areas. Their batsmen are in better form than they were in the previous meeting and they are marginally favoured to inflict the Dolphins first loss in the biggest game of the tournament.
