Lions Form
The Lions ended the group phase unbeaten, winning all of their five completed matches when they beat Boland by 34 runs.
Zubayr Hamza has been in phenomenal form this season and his side will be hoping for another big innings from him. Delano Potgieter’s two innings in the series have brought scores of 29* and 91*. Temba Bavuma has scored 46, 48, 43* and 39 in his last five innings. Rassie van der Dussen scored 27, 22 and 49 in four innings
Nqabayomzi Peter has starred with the ball, snapping up 12 wickets in six matches (econ 4.61). He has taken 5/38, 3/35 and 2/27 in his last four matches. Bjorn Fortuin has returned figures of 3/33, 2/17 and 2/44 in his last three matches.
Titans Form
After losing to the Lions followed by a washout against the Warriors, the Titans secured back-to-back wins against North West and then the Warriors to secure their spot in the final.
The Titans opening partnership has failed to get their side off to a strong start in their last four matches, failing to reach 20 in any of those matches.
Keegan Petersen has scored 225 runs (HS 71) in the series and the Titans will be looking for him to help in-form Rivaldo Moonsamy lay a strong foundation for the middle-order.
Duan Jansen has starred with the ball, taking 15 wickets in eight matches (econ 5.16) and often picking up vital early wickets.
The Titans are worth backing in the six-hitting stakes, having hit 19 sixes in their last four matches compared to the Lions' 12 in four.
Lions vs Titans Team News
The Lions will be without star batter Reeza Hendricks, who is playing in the Pakistan Super League.
Titans head coach Rivash Gobind was proud of his side’s fighting spirit to beat a strong Warriors side to clinch their place in the final.

Finals are always special, and this group has worked incredibly hard to earn this opportunity. We know what is at stake, and the team is excited to go out there and hunt for our 22nd trophy,” said Gobind in a press conference ahead of the final.
