Standard Bank Pro20 Final

The Standard Bank Pro20 has seemed to have come and gone so quickly, it’s already time for the final tonight. The Warriors and Lions have out played the Cape Cobras and Titans respectively, both teams winning their semi-finals without having to play the third leg of semi’s.

The Warriors have played well this year, they have the MTN40 trophy in the cabinet and only lost one game in the Pro20 series to the Titans. The return of Jacques Kallis, Mark Boucher and Wayne Parnell will add to the confidence of the Warriors team.

The Lions on the other hand have beaten the Titans three times this year, which I feel is significant as I believed the Titans to be the favorites to win the title. The Lions also beat the Titans with all the proteas’ players back so the return of the Warriors’ national stars probably won’t affect them too much.  If the Lions stand a chance this evening then it’s going to be Alviro Petersen and Vaughn van Jaarsveld who need to step up when the pressure is on.

It’s rock star cricket at its best, and one thing is for sure, Pro20 cricket is unpredictable, the head say Warriors and heart, Lions.
