CSA 4-Day Franchise Series 2021/22, Division 1: LIO vs ROC Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report and Injury Update

Preview:

Lions will take on Rocks in Division 1 of the CSA 4-Day Franchise Series. The Lions made an excellent start into this tournament with 2 consecutive wins against North West and the Warriors. With some of the key players missing out due to national duty, it will be a great opportunity for the youngsters to fill the void space. Currently, they have placed themselves at the top spot in the standings with 45.14 points.

Rocks, on the other hand, had to remain satisfied with draws in their first two matches. They had a good outing on both occasions, where they took a lead against Knights in their first match but conceded a first-innings lead against the Western Province in their second fixture. They will look forward to having a better game against Lions.
