The Lions suffered a narrow defeat in their last game at The Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. The batting performance of this team in the recent game will cause concern for Skipper Mitchell Van Buuren. The Lions were unable to chase down a 162-run target at home, even though Reeza Hendricks and Rassie van der Dussen were in the top 3. 

The Lions are desperately searching for their first win of the season. Despite their high-quality bowling performances, they still suffered back-to-back losses
