Match Details:

The 12th match of the Momentum One-Day Cup 2020 will be played between Lions and Cape Cobras at the Senwes Park in Potchefstroom.

The match starts at 10:00 AM local time (8:00 AM GMT) (1:30 PM IST).

Preview:

Lions got off to a great start to their tournament with two consecutive wins in their first two games. But, in the previous game, they had to suffer a defeat against six wickets. They lost that match due to the performance of their bowlers, who failed to restrict the opponents from chasing down the target. However, it will be a new game for Lions against Cape Cobras, so they will look to get back on the winning track with some improved performances in the upcoming clash. They will surely bank on their strong batting line up that comprises of Ryan Rickelton, Dominic Hendricks, who have looked in good touch with the bat.

Cape Cobras have so far won two games out of their last four outings. They are also coming with a defeat from their previous game and Cobras will look to go for a winning home run against the Lions in the next clash. They have one of the most balanced sides on paper but their players are failing to come up with a team effort. It will be interesting to see if they will manage to change their fate in the next game or not. Players like Janneman Malan, Pieter Malan and Zubayr Hamza make them the overwhelming favourites to win the match against Lions.


Weather Condition/Report:

The weather forecast says that it is going to be a perfect day for a cricket match with no chances of rain. The temperature will be quite high compared to the previous days that will hover between 18 and 33 Degree Celsius with the wind blowing at a rate of 9 to 13 km/hr according to Accuweather.

Pitch Condition/Report:

The track at Senwes Park might offer an interesting battle between bat and ball. This ground will offer some assistance to the fast bowlers in the first half of the match. Later on, the batters will be able to take the lead with their efficient stroke-making that will keep the chasing side on a front edge to win the game.
