The Cobras had a very poor day with both bat and ball in their last match against the Titans. Their entire line-up folded for just 151 inside 38 overs and they will be hoping to bounce back against the Knights with a much better performance. The opening pair of Janneman Malan and skipper Pieter Malan along with Kyle Verreynne form the heart of Cobras' batting. Janneman is one of the tournament's leading run-scorers with 322 runs while Pieter has hit a century and a fifty this season. Verreynne is averaging an impressive 56.40 and he even played a match-winning knock of 114 not-out in the reverse encounter against the Knights. The Cobras failed to pick up even a single wicket last time and they will be counting on the likes of Vernon Philander, Rory Kleinveldt and George Linde to step up and deliver the goods for them with the ball. Philander has the ability to swing the ball both ways and he will pose the biggest threat to the Knights, especially with the new ball.

The Knights displayed a good batting performance when they last faced the Cobras in the seventh match of the ongoing season. Andries Gous, Keegan Petersen and Ryan McLaren all cracked half-centuries in that game and the team will expect them to make sizeable contributions once again. Petersen has scored the most runs for the Knights this season. He is averaging 61.40 and is one of the key figures in this batting group. Patrick Kruger is coming off a 54-ball 79 against the Dolphins and he will look to follow that up with another strong performance. Wit the ball, the Knights will turn to Marchant de Lange, Shadley van Schalkwyk and Mbulelo Budaza to do the job for them. Shadley took a five-fer against the Dolphins and played a vital role in his side's 58-run victory while de Lange had notched up a three-wicket haul in the reverse encounter. The latter is amongst the tournament's best bowlers with 13 wickets in 6 matches and is more likely to hurt the Cobras in the first ten overs.

Cape Cobras are favorites to win this 26th match of the Momentum One Day Cup 2019 at odds of 1.55 on Betway, 1.57 on Bet365 and 1.51 on Betrally. The Knights are the underdogs amongst the bookmakers and are being offered at a higher price of 2.30 on Betway, 2.37 on Bet365 and 2.25 on Betrally.
Cape Cobras have lost all their momentum after receiving a thrashing at the hands of the Titans in their previous match while the Knights have gained momentum after registering back-to-back wins. The Knights have beaten the Cobras thrice in the last five head-to-head encounters but the latter emerged victorious in the most recent clash which should give them some confidence. The Knights, however, seem to have started peaking at the right time and they now look a more balanced side than the Cobras. The Knights are desperate to gain four more points and move up the ladder which is why we feel they could overhaul the Cobras on Thursday.
