Warriors v Knights Prediction

One of the commanding teams of the Ram Slam T20 Challenge, 2014-15, Knights, will try to repeat their earlier performance of the event when they defeated Warriors by a huge margin of 74 runs on November 2, 2014, at Johannesburg. Warriors were at the receiving end for the second time when they lost another game against Lions by six wickets during the tournament. The former scored 7-126 in 20 overs and the latter powered 130 after losing four wickets in 19.3 overs. The previous match between Knights and Dolphins ended without any result since that game was disturbed by rain. The first has secured 17 points from six outings and will meet Warriors in the next one who are at the fifth position with four mere points.
