Read on for team previews, betting odds, betting tips and predictions for Warriors vs Titans, CSA T20 Challenge 2019....
Thomas Kaber returned to the team last time out, replacing Lesiba Ngoepe, as Warriors finally enjoyed a completed match after twice being frustrated by the rain. After getting back to winning ways, Warriors could be unchanged to face Titans.
Gihahn Cloete’s lightning start in the previous match between these two sides was the reason for Warriors’ D/L-method win. Cloete’s unbeaten 46 is his highest score so far, while he also top-scored in Warriors’ second game too.
Marco Marais is their man in form now, however. He hit an unbeaten 82 from 33 balls before the rain came down against Lions, and then followed that up with 75 from 36 balls in the win against Cape Cobras last time out.
Lutho Sipamla took two wickets in that win, albeit for 45 runs, and he now has four wickets so far in this year’s tournament. Sisanda Magala kept things tight, meanwhile – his 1-24 from four overs making a big difference.
Warriors have only had three completed matches so far, one of which was their rain-assisted win against Titans in the opening game. They lost by seven wickets to Cape Cobras in their next completed game – posting a below-par 151/8 before crashing to defeat – but avenged that loss last time out.
Marco Marais hammered 75 from 36 balls in a total of 189 all out, and Warriors held on to claim a ten-run win.

Jonathan Vandiar replaced Diego Rosier in the last game in a rare change for Titans but, after victory – and his unbeaten 45 from 27 balls – it may be hard to drop Vandiar now.
Theunis de Bruyn has been in superb form with the bat so far this season, starting from the opening game against Warriors. He it 74 in that match, and has top-scored in the last two matches too with knocks of 42 and, last time out, 72 not out from just 32 balls.
Henry Davids (42) and Jonathan Vandiar (45*) also impressed last time out, proving Titans batting strength as they coped without Diego Rosier – who had previously hit 160 runs from four innings.
Junior Dala has five wickets in the tournament, meanwhile, including four wickets in the last two matches.
Titans’ win against Dolphins last time out was only their second of the CSA T20 Challenge 2019 season, though they were unlucky not to beat Warriors on the opening day. Their first win came against Cape Cobras, chasing 151 to win by seven wickets thanks to Henry Davids’ 57.
Rain frustrated their efforts afterwards, before a 19-run defeat – replying to Lions’ 181/4 – in their next completed game. Titans stormed back to form, however – Theunis de Bruyn’s unbeaten 72 from 32 balls, in a total of 191/2, earning an eight-wicket win against Dolphins.

Warriors’ win on the opening night of the current season was just their seventh in 27 previous games against Titans. Titans have won 17 by contrast, including all three between the two teams last season.
This season’s match saw Titans smash 216/5, led by Theunis de Bruyn’s 74 from 38 balls. In reply, Warriors reached 60/0 after six overs – Gihahn Cloete leading the way with 46 from 25 balls – and, with no further play possible, they were awarded a four-run win according to the D/L method.
Warriors are outsiders with Bet365 at 2.30 to win, but they could upset those odds having won last time out. Titans are 1.61 to win by contrast.
Warriors ended their losing streak against Titans when they last met and, with Marco Marais in explosive form, they can claim another win in this fixture.
