Knights vs Titans Match Prediction

Titans Team News

Chris Morris, Aiden Markram and Tabraiz Shamsi are with the South Africa squad, while Heinrich Klaasen is off to the IPL and Lungi Ngidi would have been had he not suffered a knee injury. It means the Titans side which lost to Highveld Lions last time out could be similar to the one which faces the Knights.

Titans Key Players

In many ways, Titans have been victims of their own success – with Aiden Markram the latest player to be called up to the national team on the back of his fine form. Markram is one of two Titans batsman to pass 300 runs in this season’s competition – hitting 393 in just three matches – but Tony de Zorzi is the other.

De Zorzi hit 115* in the win against Knights in the reverse fixture and he has two 50s and that one hundred to his name so far, scoring 317 from six innings. Dean Elgar has also hit a century and has 261 runs from five innings in total.

With the ball, Junior Dala has taken 20 wickets in his nine matches so far. That includes five in their most recent win, against Dolphins, and four last time out against the Lions.

Titans Recent Form

Titans won five games in a row in between two defeats to the Lions to surge to the top of the Momentum One Day Cup table. Both the batsmen and bowlers have excelled, for example in bowling Cape Cobras out for 151 before Diego Rosier hit 92* in a ten-wicket win.

They followed that by posting 300/9 against Dolphins, with Heino Kuhn scoring 107, and Junior Dala claimed 5-32 to bowl Dolphins out for 230 in reply. Last time out, however, asked to chased 305 to win despite Dala’s 4-54 against the Lions, Jonathan Vandiar hit 111 but Titans finished seven runs short.
