CSA T20 Challenge 2022, Knights vs Titans: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report and Weather Forecast

The Knights and Titans will go face-to-face in the 10th game of the CSA T20 Challenge 2022. Both sides are evenly matched and it's expected to be a mouth-watering contest between the two teams.

The Knights have failed miserably in their first two games as they have lost both and are at the bottom of the points table. Their batters have failed to get going in both games and that’s the main reason for their poor performance.

They lost their first game by eight wickets against the Dolphins and were defeated by the North West by the same margin once again in their last match. The franchise need their batters to take up more responsibility in the upcoming games.

The Titans, meanwhile, have won one and lost one game and are in fifth position in the points table. Both their games have gone down to the wire. They were defeated by the Warriors by eight runs in their first match and won their last match by three runs against the Rocks.

Their batters and bowlers are performing well as a unit and will be expected to produce more of the same in the upcoming games as well.
