KTS vs HL Dream11 Match Prediction, CSA 4-Day Franchise Series

KTS vs HL Dream11 Prediction: This is a Pool B match in CSA 4-Day Franchise Series as Knights and Highveld Lions run into each other at Bloemfontein cricket stadium on Sunday afternoon (IST). Here is KTS vs HL Prediction for this fixture.
Knights lost the last two games, while Lions come here on a two-game winning run, including the 4-wicket win over the Knights.
That was the game that must be frightening Knights still. They had the ball in their court after taking a 98-run lead in the first inning. And even after a meagre 235 runs effort in the 2nd inning, Lions were always the 2nd favourite chasing 336 runs in the 4th inning. But a lacklustre performance with the ball made the life easy for the Lions, who won by 4 wickets in the end.

KTS vs HL Prediction, Captain, Vice-captain & Differential Picks

Wesley Marshall: Piled up a staggering 193 runs in the last match including incredible 145 runs in the 1st inning. He was truly sensational and should be in your Dream11 fantasy cricket teams.
Ryan Rickleton: Perhaps the safest option as the wicket-keeper in this game. Of keepers of both teams, he is in better form.
Wiaan Mulder: Scored 91 and 100 runs in two innings respectively. That is enough to suggest the form he is in at the moment.
Matthew Kleinveldt: Scored 77 runs in the 2nd inning of the last match and looked more of his own self. He shouldn’t be ignored in Dream 11 Prediction.
Farhaan Behardien: For a player of his profile, he must rack up better numbers. He may be slightly out of form, but in Grand League teams, he is worth the shot.
Gerald Coetzee, Shaun von Berg and Patrick Botha shared 12 wickets between them, with all of them picking 4 wickets each across two innings.
