KZNIN Team News
There was a surprise victory for KZ-N Inland in Match 22 with a comprehensive 8-wicket win over Lions. The victory sees the side still in the bottom seven but now within touching distance of the top five with games in hand. However, this will be another tough clash against Western Province.
KZNIN Team Batting
With a target of 91 runs from 15 overs against Lions, KZ-N Inland had opener Cameron Delport to thank for top scoring with 39 runs from 28 balls. He was the only player to hit a six out of the four batters used and that is something they will need to work on in this game.
KZNIN Team Bowling
Kieth Dudgeon will be looking forward to getting the new ball in his hand again in this match after the right-arm fast medium bowler dismissed Rassie van der Dussen, Temba Bavuma and Mitchell Van Buuren inside the first four balls of the last game. Ruben Trumpelmann and Andile Mhletywa will provide good back up in this fixture.
