Titans v Cape Cobras Prediction

Titans got another stick at their back in the Ram Slam T20 Challenge, 2014-15, when they received the fourth defeat of the event from Knights. The former managed just 135 runs after losing six wickets in 20 overs and the latter attained the target by smashing 2-140 with 22 deliveries still available. Cape Cobras tasted their first loss of the tournament when Lions won against them in the previous match by a margin of 47 runs. The first has played four games, won two, lost one, another ended without any result, grabbed 11 points and will take over the pointless unit Titans in the next encounter.

Players to watch

Henry Davids and Theunis de Bruyn were the highest scorers for Titans vs. Knights, Dean Elgar is scoring runs as well but rest of their batting is still sleeping. Darren Sammy, Elgar and Ethy Mbhalati are carrying the burden of their bowling.

None of the batsmen of Cape Cobras crossed the thirty runs mark against Lions so Richard Levi, Andrew Puttick and Omphile Ramela must concentrate on their batting. Kieron Pollard is proving his worth as a classic all-rounder while Mthokozisi Shezi, Sybrand Engelbrecht and Ferisco Adams are bowling at their best.
