Although these two teams are separated by 12 points in the CSA Provincial One-Day Challenge Division One, this is expected to be a close game after both won their previous games. KwaZulu-Natal Inland knocked down a target of 270 with just two wickets remaining and won on the last ball! The efficiency was a true team effort with both bat and ball, which suggests that they could pull off a surprise in this game. Lions defeated Titans by 120 runs (DLS), and with only 32.3 overs batting and 21 overs bowled, they will be very new ahead of this match in Pietermaritzburg.
