Lions and Dolphins are set to face each other in the 15th match of the CSA One-Day Challenge 2026 at The Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg. The Dolphins are coming into this match after an abandoned match in their last outing. However, they will be confident after some brilliant bowling performances in back-to-back matches.

The Lions' last game was abandoned without a toss. This would have been their second game at home this season. In their last 5 head-to-head encounters, the home team has won 2-1, with the remaining two matches ending without a result.
