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

The Titans will take on the Lions in the 17th match of the CSA T20 Challenge 2022. The game will be played at St George's Park in Port Elizabeth.

The Titans, led by Theunis de Bruyn, are currently placed second in the points table with three wins from four games. Their net run rate of +0.565 is also a pretty healthy one. They will go into the game on the back of a seven-wicket win over the Dolphins.

After being put in to bat first, the Dolphins scored 134 on the back of David Miller's unbeaten 40-ball 57. Jason Smith scored 38, but at a strike rate of less than 100. From there on, Dewald Brevis' 30-ball 46 helped the Titans chase down the target with 21 balls left.

The Lions, led by Malusi Siboto, have strained in the tournament thus far. Having lost three out of four games, they are placed sixth in the points table. They will go into the match after a 44-run loss at the hands of Pieter Malan's Rocks on February 15.

After being put in to bat, the Rocks scored 160 for the loss of four wickets. Sisanda Magala, Ayavuya Myoli, skipper Siboto and Reeza Hendricks got one wicket apiece. Thereafter, the Lions were bowled out for 116. Hendricks scored 46, but his effort went in vain.
