Cape Cobras are finding it difficult to mark their way back on the winning track as they have registered five consecutive defeats in the tournament. They are currently on the last position in the league table with only eight points. They are on the verge of getting knocked out from the tournament.

Titans registered a brilliant victory in the previous game against Lions and will look to continue with the same momentum. They are just a couple of steps away from qualifying into the semi-final and, they will look to grab a win in the upcoming clash against Cobras.

They have a robust batting line-up that consists of Tony de Zorzi, Dean Elgar and Aiden Markram, who are in great form with the bat. So, these will be the players on which Titans are expected to bank upon going into their next encounter.
