Cape Cobras vs Titans, CSA T20 Challenge 2021
As expected Titans proved too good for the Knights and their next assignment is against Cape Cobras, who lost a hard fought battle against the Dolphins. Read our preview as Cobras take on Titans in the 5th match of the CSA T20 series at Kingmead Durban.
Titans win over Knights should be a surprise. They probably have the best bunch of players and beating them won’t be easy for any team. They had a decent bowling line up in Chris Morris, Lungi Ngidi, Lizaard Williams, Tabraiz Shamsi and all of them were exceptional as they bowled out the Knights for 116.
This was never going to be difficult for a side that has Theunis de Bruyn. Deal Elgar, Aiden Markram, Henrich Klaasen, Chris Morris at their disposal. Titans are very strong and as we said, beating them won’t be easy and Cope Cobras have a massive task on their hands.
Cape Cobras might not have any big names in their squad but they can’’t be taken lightly. Players like Chritiaan Jonker, Tony de Zorzi, Zubayr Hamza, Jason Smith, Kyle Verreynne are have done well for their respective domestic teams and can be dangerous on their day.
However, the bowling looks weak and are expected to struggle against the quality Titans batting. Overall, Titans are much more stable and have more quality in their team. They’re our favourite

Cape Cobras Team News & Playing 11
COB Team News
We don’t see Cape Cobras making any changes to the playing XI as they had a decent game irrespective of the result. We have no update why Janneman Malan as not selected. It’s maybe because of an injury or he may not be available for some reason which we are not aware of. There is no information available so we can’t predict when he’ll be back.
COB Key Players
- Toni de Zorzi - The skipper played a decent hand of 39 but failed to kick off to get a big one. The time he spent at the wicket will help him in the next game
- Christiaan Jonker - Jonker can tonk the ball big. He batted well for his quick fire 41 in the last match and will be a key batsmen for Cobras against Titans.
- Siyabonga Mahima - Mahima picked up 4 wickets against the Dolphins. The spinners are really enjoying bowling on this wicket and Siyabonga can be expected to have another good game.

TIT Team News
Titans had a fantastic game against the Knights and most likely they’ll go in with the same XI for this match of CSA T20 Challenge, unless there is an injury to any of the player. As of now, we don’t have any update about the same.
TIT Key Players
- Theunis de Bruyn - De Bruyn was Titan's top performer in the previous season with 348 runs in 7 games. He’s a class batsmen that can be very dangerous at the top. A failure in the first match won’t affect him much.
- Henrich Klaasen - Klassen played a captain’s knock in the previous game and stroked a solid 54. He’ll once again aim to contribute with the bat
- Tabraiz Shamsi - Durban is a wicket where spinners play a big role due to the slowness of the wicket. It’s evident from the first match, where Shamsi picked 3 wickets, that he’ll be an asset for Titans in every game

Dean Elgar, Theunis de Bruyn, Aiden Markram, Sibonelo Makhanya, Heinrich Klaasen (c & wk), Chris Morris, Dayyaan Galiem, Gregory Mahlokwana, Lizaad Williams, Lungi Ngidi, Tabraiz Shamsi
