Knights Team News & Playing 11
Skipper Theunis de Bruyn and David Miller are going to be the key men in this batting lineup. They scored 40 and 50 respectively in the reverse fixture and it will be crucial to the team's chances that they come up with something similar when they meet the Cobras again. When it comes to bowling, the Knights will look to Shadley van Schalkwyk to deliver the goods. The seam bowler is right up there amongst the season's leading wicket-takers with eight wickets in six games. Legspinner Eddie Leie has been pretty economical so far and he will look to stifle the batsmen from the other end.
