TIT Team News
After five games in this year’s tournament, Titans come into this match in sixth place after taking eight points with two wins and three defeats. There are only two teams below Titans in the league ahead of this game but a win over Western Province would see them move up at least one position.
TIT Team Batting
Needing 184 to win from 14 overs in their last game, Titans showed their frailties with the bat once more as they were only able to post 152/5. David Wiese could be pushed up the order for this game after an impressive 30 not out from 13 balls.
TIT Team Bowling
Titans’ bowlers were very disappointing against Dolphins in Match 18, taking only one wicket and leaking 27 boundaries from 14 overs. However, they have some very experienced and talented bowlers like David Wiese and Tabraiz Shamsi who will be determined to produce better in this game.
TIT Team Form
Titans won their opening two matches of the tournament but now come into this game after three successive defeats.

Western Province Team News & Playing 11
WPR Team News
After an excellent start to the season, a defeat against Lions in the Super Over of Match 17 seemed to have a negative effect on Western Province who went on to lose against Warriors by 8 wickets. However, they will see this fixture against Titans as a prime opportunity to get back on track.
WPR Team Batting
Western Province posted 149/7 in their last match and it turned out that even with 46 runs from 38 balls from George Linde in the middle order that that was not enough. In order to get back to winning ways, captain Kyle Verreynne, David Bedingham and Tony de Zorzi all need to step up with the bat.
WPR Team Bowling
Wayne Parnell and George Linde were the only wicket takers for Western Province in Match 19 so the likes of Kyle Simmonds, Beuran Hendricks and Mthiwekhaya Nabe will all need to put in stronger performances. Linde has impressed with his economy rate and accurate bowling throughout the tournament.
WPR Team Form
Although they won their first three games in the tournament, Western Province have not won either of their last two.

🏆 Titans vs Western Province Prediction
With sixth taking on fourth, this game will go a long way to determining if Titans have the ability to move up the table or if Western Province can reignite their top of the table ambitions. Western Province have been more impressive across the tournament with only one poor game so we are backing them to win this game.
