There are two more matches in the South Africa T20 Challenge on Friday as the tournament rounds off its opening week. We have the champions Titans on show again on Friday and they are involved in the TV game. There is one match not on TV too. As ever we’ll begin the preview with the live game.
Titans vs Knights
Two undefeated sides meet at Benoni when the Titans take on the Knights. The champions have seen off the Highveld Lions and the Cape Cobras so far in the tournament while the Knights have only played once and they also beat the Cape Cobras in that.
You would think the Titans are worthy favourites in this match but they are pretty short given how capable their opponents are here and especially on a small ground which can be hard to defend so I’m going to the side markets for a punt in this one.
This is a small ground and there are a decent number of hitters on show too with the likes of Albie Morkel, Henry Davids, David Miller, Patrick Kruger to name but some and the sixes line looks a little low at 11.5. I’m willing to take the overs there given the hitting personnel on display.
Cape Cobras vs Warriors
The Cape Cobras go in search of their first win of the tournament when they host the Warriors who have won their only match so far. I’m expecting the Cobras to come good at some point and it could be playing at home does that here.
Warriors deserve credit for beating the Dolphins in their opening match but whether they can back that up remains to be seen. That said I don’t want to take them on until the Cobras start to play like they can so I’m happy to sit this one out.
