TTN vs KNI Match Prediction - Apr 26, 2019

We have come a long way forward in South Africa's domestic T20 competition, CSA T20 Challenge with eight matches already done and dusted. Just like the way it was in the Momentum One Day Cup, Knights have failed to have any impact whatsoever and find themselves at the bottom of the points table with no win to their name. Titans, on the other hand, are well in truly in contention for the playoffs, but a loss here will make things extremely difficult for them. The Knights, despite being at the bottom of the table, still have an outside chance to qualify for the playoffs. They need to win both their matches and hope for the other results to go their way. This game is almost a do-or-die encounter for both the sides, and we expect a nail-biting contest here.

TTN vs KNI Team Previews

Titans

With a narrow loss in their previous encounter despite racking up a decent score on the board batting first, the Titans were left in a position where a win is imperative for them to qualify for the semifinals on their own.

Clearly, Theunis de Bruyn is single-handedly carrying the Titans in the absence of their stalwarts. With over 300 runs to his name over the course of the tournament, Theunis de Bruyn has made his mark in almost every match and has been difficult to dislodge. He was instrumental in their last game as well, but some poor bowling coupled with breathtaking strokeplay from Cobras' lower-middle order knocked Titans out of the match.

All in all, Titans have a decent lineup, but the absence of a couple of their key players is certainly hurting them. Their batsmen have done well, but with Junior Dala being the only consistent in the bowling department, they definitely have a few issues to address.

Titans Playing 11

Henry Davids, Tony de Zorzi, Theunis de Bruyn, Farhaan Behardien, Matthew Arnold, Rubin Hermann, GM Thomson, Shaun von Berg, Gregory Mahlokwana, TL Moreki, Junior Dala.


Knights

Right from the beginning of the tournament, things have been rather gloomy for the Knights. They've had only three real chances to get a win with rest of their matches abandoned due to rain. Despite the position they find themselves in, they would certainly not want to drop the towel yet and we expect them to come all guns blazing in the upcoming game.

Knights haven't been in the best of the form in the competition so far and while they can consider themselves unlucky with rain washing out most of their matches, it will be safe to say they haven't really performed as well as they are capable of.

Overall, they have a powerful unit with the likes of Ryan McLaren, Otteneil Baartman, and Schalkwyk doing exceedingly well with the ball. Having said that, their batsmen, who are a bit inexperienced, will have a mountain to climb when they face a bowling attack consisting of in-form Junior Dala and Theunis de Bruyn.

Knights Playing 11

Shadley van Schalkwyk, AGS Gous, Patrick Kruger, Raynard van Tonder, PJ van Biljon, Ryan McLaren, Luvuyo Adam, Grant Mokoena, T Ntuli, Ottneil Baartman, Gerald Coetzee.

Both the sides are coming off rather disappointing results in their respective games and probably have everything to gain when they meet each other in the upcoming encounter. A win here will push Titans into a pretty good position as far as qualifying for the semifinals is concerned whereas, for Knights, it is a matter of survival. Considering the teams on paper and their form coming into the next fixture, Titans are clearly firm favorites to emerge on top in the upcoming fixture.
