bizhub Highveld Lions coach Geoffrey Toyana feels their four-day form will count for little when they shift focus to the Momentum One-Day Cup action against the Warriors at Bidvest Wanderers Stadium on Friday.
The Lions are soaring in the Sunfoil Series competition where they are the only unbeaten side after five rounds and sit amongst the front runners in second position.
They head into the game against the Warriors in third position on the 50-over log as the tournament resumes for the first time since October.

"It's a different format and it's always quite difficult to make that sudden shift," Toyana said. "In saying that, we've prepared quite well over the last few days.
"We will be missing a number of players, but we have to get on with it."
Proteas pair Hardus Viljoen and Aaron Phangiso are away with the South Africa 'A' team this weekend, while star four-day performer Dwaine Pretorius has been added to the casualty list alongside Thami Tsolekile.
It means that rookies like Nicky van der Bergh, Carmi le Roux and Sean Jamieson are all in the squad and could feature.
Two of their other Proteas are also in the frame to play, Stephen Cook and Temba Bavuma.
