Playing XI Updates

Lions

No changes are expected from the Lions unless the likes of Kagiso Rabada and Wiaan Mulder are permitted to play the match. They have three South African regulars in Reeza Hendricks, Rassie van der Dussen and Dwaine Pretorius in their ranks and should be confident of their chances come Wednesday. Malusi Siboto and Nono Pongolo hold key, with their variations bound come into play against a good Titans batting unit.

Possible XI: Reeza, Rickelton, Dussen(C), Rapulana, Van Bergh(WK), Pretorius, Potgieter, Fortuin, Pongolo, Siboto and Phangiso

Titans

The Titans would want to make their matches in a hand count, starting with a win on Wednesday. Aiden Markram and Dean Elgar are set to play for the Titans at the expense of Tony de Zorzi and Heino Kuhn. With Behardien and Morris in the middle order, Titans are well-placed to accelerate in the death overs. Tabraiz Shamsi and Shaun von Berg will be key in the middle overs against the likes of Dussen and Pretorius, which could make for an interesting sub-plot.

Possible XI: Markram, Elgar, De Bruyn, Davids/De Zorzi, Klassen(C&WK), Behardien, Morris, Von Berg, Dala, Ngidi and Shamsi

Fantasy Tips and Suggestions

Wicket-keeper: With uncertainty over Mosehle's inclusion, Heinrich Klaasen is the preferred choice. His glovework behind the stumps has been impressive along with his ability to rotate the strike effectively in the middle orders, making him a key selection.

Batsmen: Reeza Hendricks, Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram, Theunis de Bruyn and Ryan Rickelton are the ideal set of players to have in the fantasy side. Hendricks already has a hundred to his name this season and would like to sign off on a high, before he leaves for national duty.

All-rounders: With two great options available, Chris Morris is the ideal choice for the fantasy team with his pin-point accuracy and pinch hitting abilities. Dwaine Pretorius had a great match against the Cobras and is a viable option as well.

Bowlers: One of Tabraiz Shamsi and Lungi Ngidi would suffice alongside the likes of Bjorn Fortuin and Shaun von Berg. One of Nono Pongolo or Nandre Burger might also be a great option to have, considering their knack of taking wickets.

Captain: Reeza Hendricks has been in great form over the past few months and is one of the prime contenders for captaincy, alongside Dussen and Markram. Markram had an indifferent series against SL and would be itching to score some runs against a good Lions attack to boost his World Cup chances.

Fantasy Suggestion #1: Heinrich Klaasen (WK), Rassie van der Dussen, Reeza Hendricks, Aiden Markram, Theunis de Bruyn, Ryan Rickelton, Chris Morris, Nono Pongolo, Bjorn Fortuin, Shaun von Berg and Lungi Ngidi. Captain: Reeza Hendricks

Fantasy Suggestion #2: Heinrich Klaasen (WK), Aiden Markram, Theunis de Bruyn, Reeza Hendricks, Ryan Rickelton, Dwaine Pretorius, Chris Morris, Lungi Ngidi, Nandre Burger, Shaun von Berg and Aaron Phangiso. Captain: Aiden Markram.
