Lions to Bowl, Sidebottom Misses Out

Johannesburg: Highveld Lions skipper Alviro Petersen won the toss and decided to field against Yorkshire in their Group B match of the Champions League Twenty20 at New Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg.

South Africa's Highveld Lions will look to inch closer to a semifinal berth as they are placed second in the group after winning two and losing one of their preliminary games so far.

If the Lions win, they will join Sydney Sixers in the semis which will leave all the remaining matches in the group inconsequential.

Yorkshire, on the other hand, will look up to Phil Jaques, Gary Ballance and Adil Rashid to score the bulk of the runs.

The team lacks stars in the bowling department and it is important that every individual who gets to roll his arm over comes good.

Teams:

Highveld Lions: Gulam Bodi, Alviro Petersen (captain), Quinton de Kock, Neil McKenzie, Jean Symes, Thami Tsolekile (wk), Chris Morris, Sohail Tanvir, Dwaine Pretorius, Dirk Nannes, Aaron Phangiso

Yorkshire: Andrew Gale (captain), Phil Jaques, Joseph Root, Adam Lyth, Gary Ballance, Adil Rashid, Dan Hodgson (wk), Azeem Rafiq, Steven Patterson, Iain Wardlaw, Oliver Hannon-Dalby
