Preview:
Knights will go head-to-head against Titans in the Pool B contest of the CSA Provincial T20 Cup 2021 on Tuesday. Knights didn’t perform well in the CSA T20 Challenge 2020/21, as they finished at the bottom of the table with 4 points. They managed to win only one of their 5 matches. Farhaan Behardien and Rilee Rossouw are the players to watch out for them in this tournament.
Titans, on the other hand, finished fourth in the standings in the CSA T20 Challenge 2020/21, but didn’t qualify for the playoffs. Both the teams haven’t met the expectations last year and will be eager to kick start this year’s campaign with a win.
