TIT vs WP Match Preview

Titans were comprehensively beaten left, right, and center in the first Qualifier but since they finished second in the league stage, the team still has a lifeline up their sleeve. All is not lost for them as they will have one final opportunity to get it right against WP against whom they have a formidable track record in this tournament. The Titans batters fell well short of runs and found themselves wanting in front of the Lions bowlers.

Dayyaan Galiem (44 off 39) and Donovan Ferreira (21 off 18) were the only two batters who stood out as Titans could only manage to score 115. Galiem carried his impressive form with the ball too, picking up 2 wickets but his efforts proved to be futile as Lions comfortably cruised to their target at the expense of just 3 wickets inside 16 overs. Ferreira averages 43 and has recorded a superb batting strike rate of 163.29 at SuperSport Park.

In addition, Titan’s in-form batter Moonsamy has also registered his best score of 90* and maintains a healthy average of nearly 32 at this venue. Shamshi and Bosch have a demonstrated track record with the ball in Centurion and average 26.82 and 20 respectively. The left-arm chinaman has picked up a four-fer at this venue which just goes to show how much of a threat he can pose to the opposition.

Western Province have scripted a remarkable turnaround in the past few days to power themselves to the knockout phase. The team has made a strong statement after managing to register 3 back-to-back wins on the trot. George Linde produced an outstanding all-round performance to help Western Province secure a vital 41-run win over the North West Dragons in the Eliminator match.

Western Province, who were inserted to bat first, registered a total of 166-5 in 20 overs. Linde’s scintillating cameo of 49 (23) involved five massive sixes and helped WP drive their score to a commanding 166-5. He arrived at the crease in the 14th over and took his time to find his feet. The all-rounder revived what looked like a lost cause with some imperious hitting. Linde then had a happy outing with the ball picking up 3-15 while his partner in crime Simmonds snapped 3-14 to sink the Dragons for a meager 125.

Edward Moore is the top-most run getter in this year’s CSA T20 Challenge Cup competition averaging a staggering 70 in 7 innings. He will have good foud memories of his 88* against the Titans at this venue earlier this season. Linde on the other hand, has only played two games at this venue but has managed to achieve a remarkable bowling average of almost 12. Mihlali Mpongwana has been the highest wicket-taker for the Western Province this season and has managed to accumulate 10 wickets at a stunning average of 14.1 which includes his best figures of 3/26.

Western Province are entering the second Qualifier on the back of three consecutive wins. Besides, they have confidence on their side as they have already beaten the Titans earlier in this season.
