Cape Town: Oct 18, 2012 

 

Sydney Sixers take on confident Highveld Lions in the Champions League T20 (CLT20) 2012 tie at Cape Town on Thursday.

 

It will be a battle of elites when Sydney Sixers take on Highveld Lions in a Group B match of the Champions League Twenty20 at Newlands to maintain their supremacy at the points table.

 

Both teams have been undefeated in the tournament so far, with Sixers beating Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their first match and making light work of the Yorkshire in their second outing to lead the points table on better net run rate.

 

Lions, on the other hand, did not have to break a sweat against Mumbai Indians (MI) and looked at ease against the CSK last night, as they overcame a challenging 158-run target with six wickets to spare, reports PTI. 

 

Teams:

 

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

 

Sydney Sixers: Michael Lumb, Shane Watson, Dominic Thornely, Brad Haddin (c & wk), Nic Maddinson, Steven Smith, Moises Henriques, Steve O’Keefe, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood
