The final group match of the CSA T20 Challenge sees unbeaten table toppers Dolphins take on a Titans team who have lost each of their last two games, despite winning their first two. The match takes place at Durban’s Kingsmead Cricket Ground on February 26 and the live action starts at 14:30 local time.
Titans started with two victories, against Knights and Cape Cobras, but they have fallen short with the bat in each of their last two games. They hit 112/8 in 15 overs in a rain-shortened 18-run defeat to Lions to end their winning start and then limped to just 114/9 chasing 158 to beat Warriors last time out.
Dolphins, on the other hand, have been in dominant form with four wins from four. Khaya Zondo started the tournament in good batting form, but it was David Miller’s 56* and some excellent bowling from Prenelan Subrayen that saw them pull clear at the top last time out. They hit 151/4 against second-placed Lions, and then bowled them out for 110 to go clear in first place.

Titans Team News & Playing 11
TIT Team News
After two defeats in their last two games, Titans could shuffle their pack for this match of CSA T20 Challenge 2021. Henry Davids’ place at the top of the order may be in danger.
TIT Key Players
Lungi Ngidi: The Proteas’ paceman has seven wickets in Titans’ four matches so far, as well as bowling economically throughout too.
Chris Morris: His batting form has never really backed up the 21* he hit in the first game, but his 2-26 last time out does mean he has five wickets in four games.
Heinrich Klaasen: Started the tournament with an unbeaten half-century and a return to that form will be key in lifting Titans’ recent poor run rates.
TIT Team Form
Lungi Ngidi’s bowling form was central to Titans bowling Knights out for 116 and Cape Cobras for 132 as they won their first two matches. Their batting has fallen short in the last two matches, however – typified by their struggle to 114/9 when they needed 158 to beat Warriors last time out.
Titans Predicted Playing 11
Aiden Markram, Dean Elgar, Theunis de Bruyn, Sibonelo Makhanya, Heinrich Klaasen (c, wk), Chris Morris, Simon Harmer, Junior Dala, Lizaad Williams, Lungi Ngidi, Tabraiz Shamsi
TIT vs DOL Dream11 Team Prediction, Captain, Vice Captain
Wicket Keeper
Heinrich Klaasen leads Titans as captain and has been far and aware the best of the wicket-keepers on offer so far. He will want to get back to the form he showed in hitting a half-century in the first game.
Batsmen
David Miller top-scored last time out, while Khaya Zondo has been in good batting form for Dolphins. With those two on board, Dean Elgar and Aiden Markram are among the other options. If Elgar returns, he has been relatively consistent up the order.
All rounder
Chris Morris is ten credits but he is a useful wicket-taker and capable of lower-order runs too. Lizaad Williams has also topped 200 points so far this season, as has Robbie Frylinck. All three are must picks – particularly give the prices of the latter two. Prenalen Subrayen took three wickets last time out, meanwhile, so his eight-credit price is generous.
Bowlers
The three top-priced bowlers – all at nine credits – are the three top bowlers in the team. Tabraiz Shamsi, Lungi Ngidi and Keshav Maharaj are all excellent options and the latter two in particular have the wicket-taking form to show why as well.
Captain /Vice Captain
Lungi Ngidi is consistent after taking seven wickets in four games so far. That sort of consistency makes him worth backing as top team bowler. Chris Morris and Robbie Frylinck are both useful all-rounders, meanwhile. Morris has more points so far, despite Frylinck’s six wickets, and Morris could be a good vice-captain.
TIT vs DOL Dream11 Team Prediction
Batsmen:David Miller, Khaya Zondo, Dean Elgar
All Rounder:Chris Morris (vc), Lizaad Williams, Robbie Frylinck, Prenalen Subrayen
Dolphins are looking for momentum ahead of the final and could be unchanged for this one.
DOL Key Players
David Miller: The big-hitting batsman found some form last time out as he hit 56* from 38 balls - his 33rd T20 half-century (not including his three 100s).
Keshav Maharaj: Taking wickets and bowling with an incredible economy rate, he has taken 4-15, 2-18, 0-12 and 1-10 in the four matches so far.
Robbie Frylinck: Capable of some explosive late-order hitting, but he is first an foremost a wicket-taking bowler and he has six in four games so far.
DOL Team Form
Dolphins have won all four matches so far this season. They were in particularly dominant form last time out, as they hit 151/4 against Lions – helped by David Miller’s 56* - before bowling the second-placed team out for just 110. Prenelan Subrayen took 3-18, while Kerwin Mungroo, Robbie Frylinck and Ottniel Baartman all took two wickets apiece.
Titans and Dolphins played out a very high-scoring game when they last met in T20 cricket, back in 2019. Theunis de Bruyn hit 72* from 32 balls as Titans hit 191/2 in 18.5 overs in a dominant eight-wicket win.

Titans vs Dolphins Betting Odds
In prices that do not at all reflect the formbook or the table, Dolphins have been listed as favourites for this game.
Who will win Titans vs Dolphins?
Bet365 are on the fence and Betway have named Titans as favourites for this match.
While there is not much in it either way, the formbook suggests the bookmakers have got this one wrong. It is hard to bet against Dolphins.
Aiden Markram is at the top of the order for Titans and is favourite to be their top team batsman. David Miller is favourite for Dolphins, having top-scored in their most recent match too.
David Miller is favourite to be Dolphins’ top team batsman in this match, but given the form he started the tournament in, Khaya Zondo is a very good option at a very generous price too. Zondo and Miller have been top team batsman in three of Dolphins’ four games between them so far. Aiden Markram is favourite for Titans at the top of the order.
Lungi Ngidi is surprisingly only second-favourite to be Titans’ top team bowler, behind Tabraiz Shamsi. Robbie Frylinck and Keshav Maharaj are among the favourites for Dolphins.
Tabraiz Shamsi is an excellent T20 bowler, but Lungi Ngidi is the man in wicket-taking form so he is well worth backing to be Titans’ top team bowler on the back of seven wickets in four games so far. Prenelan Surayen was Dolphins’ top team bowler last time out, but Keshav Maharaj and Robbie Frylinck have been more consistent wicket-takers – hence their lower prices.
