TIT Team News
The Titans have also not been at their best in the tournament so far. They have played six matches, winning two and losing three. One match ended as a tie. They are placed sixth on the points table but they can move up the ladder if they string together a few wins in coming games.
TIT Team Batting
Rivaldo Moonsamy has done well for the Titans, scoring 204 runs, including a fifty. Lhuan-dre-Pretorious batted well in the last game against the Western Province and scored 37 so he is in decent touch as well. Also, Neil Brand made 39 against the Western Province and can be backed to do well.

Junor Dala, Lizaad Williams and Tabraiz Shamsi will be main bowlers for the Titans. All the bowlers have played for South Africa before. Shamsi has bowled well, taking nine wickets but Dala and Williams have been disappointing. However, they are good bowlers and can bounce back in next game.

🏆 North West vs Titans Prediction
Both teams have been inconsistent but we would back Titans to win the game. The Titans have a strong bowling attack, with several of their bowlers having already played for South Africa and it is all about getting back their rhythm. Out of the three defeats, two of them were by 1 and 2 runs which show that Titans have been very competitive. Same cannot be said about North West. Titans are favourites for us.
