Lions rule the local roost
The Citizen|October 30, 2024
Highveld giants the Lions have dominated the South African cricketing scene over the past few years and they look set to continue that trend after clinching the T20 Challenge title with a thumping win over their cross-Jukskei rivals the Titans this past Sunday.
Ross Roche

The win sees them go back-to-back in the T20 Challenge, while also picking up their third title in the past five seasons of the competition.

It is not only the shortest format that the Lions have found success in, with them winning two of the last three One-Day Cup titles, and they also picked up the CSA Four Day series title last season.

So out of the last seven local competitions the Lions have picked up four of them, with Western Province making sure they didn't seal a clean sweep last season (2023-24) by winning the One-Day Cup.
