Both the Warriors and Knights seasons have been somewhat up and down. This is a crucial game for both with the Knights just ahead on the table. But it is the Warriors batsmen who have shown the kind of form that gives me confidence that they will get over the line in this one.

Warriors Form

The Warriors lost a close match by one wicket against the Titans at St George's Park last Thursday.

After winning the toss, they elected to bat first, and opener Matthew Breetzke was the first to fall for 12 runs when the score was at 49.

Diego Rosier and Wihan Lubbe scored another excellent partnership of 150 runs in 26 overs for the Warriors to go with their 208 run partnership from their previous match against the Dolphins.

Rosier was bowled for 52 off 77 balls when the score was 198/2 after 36 overs. Lubbe continued to pile on the runs, bringing up his second consecutive CSA One Cup century. He was eventually out for a well-played 135 runs off 127 balls.

Contributions by Rudi Second 31(19) and Tiaan van Vuuren 28(21) took the Warriors' total to a formidable 306 for seven wickets after 50 overs.

The Warriors' defence started well, reducing the Titans to 64/2 after 19 overs. Heinrich Klaasen came to the crease and began to bludgeon the bowlers to all parts of the ground.

Gihahn Cloete joined in the run-fest and put on 162 runs off 21 overs with Klaasen for the third wicket. Cloete 93(122) was the next batsmen out at 226/3 after 40 overs.

Klaasen continued his exploits but was eventually out for a magnificent 121 runs off just 85 balls, with the Titans still requiring seven runs from nine balls for the victory.

Lizaad Williams edged one through the slips with three balls remaining to take the score to 308/9 and secure the win for the Titans.

Glenton Stuurman returned with figures of 3 for 42 off ten overs, and Tiaan van Vurren was expensive but picked up two wickets for 75 runs from his ten overs.

Knights Form

The Knights travelled up to Centurion to face the undefeated Titans team at SuperSport Park last Sunday, and despite a good batting performance, they fell short of the target and lost by 32 runs.

The Titans were asked to bat first and were soon in trouble at 15/2 after four overs. Heinrich Klaasen, fresh off a century in his previous match, continued where he left off and with Neil Brand 87(104) put on a stand of 177 for the third wicket.

Klaasen and Sibonela Makhanya put on an impressive 97 run partnership off 11 overs before Klaasen was out for a brilliant 153 runs off 127 balls.

Miguel Pretorius was the pick of the bowlers for the Knights, taking 2 for 40 runs from his ten overs, and Jacques Snyman took 2 for 67 runs off his ten overs.

The Knights started well in their chase of the Titans' score, losing their first wicket with 51 runs on the board after five overs. However, it was a stop-start affair for most batters for the Knights as six got starts of 20 plus runs before getting out.

Pite van Biljon was the mainstay for the Knight's innings scoring an excellent 127 run off 110 balls.

The Knights could not breach the target set and were all out for 309 from 44.1 overs.
