Boland vs Titans Predictions

Boland are off to a flyer this season, beating defending champs the Lions and Western Province. The Titans beat low-ranked KZN-Inland then lost to the Warriors, so any confidence to back them isn’t terribly high at the moment.

Boland’s Lehan Botha hit two sixes in his 36-ball 52 against Western Province.
Boland’s Gavin Kaplan has scored 110, 152, 25*, 36 & 32 in his last 7 innings.
Titans’ Keagan Lion-Cachet has scored 54 & 25 in his 2 innings this series.
Titans’ Roelof van der Merwe has figures of 2/12 & 0/18 in his last 2 matches.

Head-to-Head

Boland have won two and lost three of their last five CSA T20 Challenge matches against the Titans, with the Titans winning the last three in a row.

Boland Form

Boland made it five wins from their last five CSA T20 Challenge matches (across two seasons) when they beat Western Province by 65 runs in Paarl.

Gavin Kaplan has been in great form with the bat for Boland from the four-day game to the whiteball, while Clyde Fortuin has chipped in with 49 & 30 in his three innings this season.

Lehan Botha came into the squad on the back of patchy form, but instantly hit the top score for Boland in their last two matches, scoring 42 against the Lions in his first game, and 52* against Western Province two days later.

Boland Team News

Boland are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

Titans Form

The Titans won their opener against KZN-Inland by nine runs after posting just 151/7 in Pietermaritzburg. Their next match saw them fold for 107 against the Warriors after being 44/6 in the ninth over.

Keagan Lion-Cachet top-scored for the Titans in both matches, kicking off with a powerful 35-ball 54 against KZN-Inland, following it up with a more circumspect 21-ball 25 as he attempted to rescue the innings against the Warriors with Dayyaan Gailem (16 off 9).

Andile Phehlukwayo is being tried as an opener, and he started well in the first match (16 off 15) but failed to fire in the second. He’s a powerful hitter who will be frustrated at his lack of batting opportunities over the years, so I’m fancying him to come good as he has nothing to lose… but potentially the selectors’ eyes to win if he comes off.

Titans Team News

The Titans are in dire need of their top-order making runs, and if they don’t get it right in Paarl then they should definitely look to ring the changes.

Verdict

Boland v Titans

I am backing Boland to win. I am also backing Lehan Botha to top score for Boland.

Keagan Lion-Cachet is a good bet to top score for the Titans.
