CC vs HL Dream11 Prediction | Cape Cobras vs Lions Momentum One Day CUP

The 17th match of Momentum One-Day Cup will be contested at the New Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg between Highveld Lions and Cape Cobras. Both teams are really struggling to get going as the Cape Cobras have 2 wins from 5 games so far and holding the 5th spot while Lions with only a solitary win to their name from 6 matches are currently placed at the fourth position.

This would be the second meeting between these two sides in this edition, their last meeting took place on 24th February at the Recreation Ground, Oudtshoorn where Cape Cobras emerged victorious by 21 runs.

A brief insight into the last meeting between the two sides

It was a high-scoring contest where Cape Cobras had the last laugh as they won the encounter quite comprehensively by 21 runs. Batting first, the Cape Cobras went on to get a huge total of 298 runs on the board courtesy Zubayr Hamza’s 88 and scores of 46 and 44 from Janneman and Pieter Malan respectively.

The chase was definitely going to take something out of the batsmen and they started on the right note with a second-wicket stand of 49 runs between Reeza Hendricks and Kagiso Rapulana. Stability in the chase was missing for the Lions and the George Linde and Dane Paterson dented their chase even more by scalping 3 wickets each and eventually, Lions were bundled out for 277 in 49.4 overs.

CC vs HL Dream 11 Team

Cape Cobras fantasy picks:

The likes of JP Duminy, Pieter Malan, Zubayr Hamza and Janneman Malan will be the reliable batting picks for Cape Cobras.

All-rounder George Linde has been exceptional so far with both bat and ball and a lot will depend on he performs. In the bowling department, the impetus would be on Dane Paterson and Dane Piedt who have been scalping wickets at will thus far.

Lions fantasy picks:

With the departure of Reeza Hendricks and Rassie van der Dussen, their batting unit now revolves around the likes of D Hendricks, Ryan Rickelton and skipper Temba Bavuma who already has a ton to his name.

Kagiso Rapulana the all-rounder has got 114 runs to his name and is a big aid with the ball as well. Dwaine Pretorius who was dropped in the second ODI against Sri Lanka is available for selection. The bowling unit of Lions will be led by left-arm spinner Aaron Phangiso who has 5 scalps to his name along with B Fortuin who has 4 and N Burger who has 5 to his name.
