Cape Cobras will look to come back to winning ways when they meet Titans in the 27th match of Momentum ODD Cup. They have pretty lopsided in the tournament so far and will look to return to winning ways after losing 5 matches on the bounce. They are currently occupying the last position in the points table. However, they can stage a comeback only if they win the last two matches with bonus points.
There is no doubt about the fact that Cobras will look to come out all guns blazing. On the other hand, Titans who are on the verge of qualifying for the next stage won their previous clash against Lions and will look to build on that victory. They have a strong all-round unit who will look to upstage Cobras who have pretty ordinary in the last few outings.
Pitch Conditions and Toss
The surface at the Willowmoore Park in Benoni is expected to be a batting paradise. In the only match hosted by this venue, the team batting first registered a big score of 330 but the team batting 2nd chased it down. Hence the team winning the toss might be tempted to chase.
Probable Playing XI
Titans:
Theunis de Bruyn, Aiden Markram, Tony de Zorzi, Dean Elgar, Grant Thomson (C), Farhaan Behardien, Junior Dala, Imraan Manack, Rivaldo Moonsamy (WK), Matthew Arnold, Junior Dala

5 must-have players in the dream XI team
Zubayr Hamza, Pieter Malan, Aiden Markan, Thando Ntini, Dean Elgar
Dream XI Wicket-keepers
Rivaldo Moonsamy will be the wicket-keeper of our dream XI team. He has been in form with the bat and has scored 74 runs in the competition so far which is the highest by wicket-keepers from either team.
Dream XI Batsmen
Dean Elgar, Zubayr Hamza, Aiden Markram and Pieter Malan will be the four batsmen in our dream XI team. Elgar has been an integral part of the South African Test side and will look to continue his good work in the domestic limited-overs competition.
Zubayr Hamza has been the leading run-scorer in the tournament so far churning out 530 runs so far. He has looked in sensational touch all through the tournament and will look to continue the good work.
Markram looked in sublime touch in the previous game as he smashed a century against Lions and will look to put up another memorable performance today. Markram is a class act and another big knock might just be around the corner.
Pieter Malan has also been in good form. He has scored 284 runs in the tournament so far and will look to continue the good work. Malan has evolved as a player in the last few years and will look to keep up the good work.
Dream XI All-rounders
Jason Smith, George Linde and Grant Thompson will be the three all-rounders in our dream XI team. Smith has been in good all-round form and has chipped in with both bat and the ball. He will look to come out with a similar sort of a performance.
Meanwhile, both George Line and Grant Thompson have also done a great job for their respective sides. Linde has been a great power hitter and has already smashed 7 sixes in the tournament so far. Both these players will look to keep their reputations intact.
Dream XI Bowlers
Junior Dala, Imran Manack and Thando Ntini will be the three bowlers in our dream XI team. Dala is a promising customer and can hurry any batsmen with his pace. He will look to scalp out a few big players early on.
Imran Manack has bagged 10 wickets in the tournament so far and will look to bag a few later today. Meanwhile, son of Makhaya Ntini, Thando has been quite a sensation in the domestic circuit. He will look to be in the wickets column today.
Captain and Vice-captain
Zubayr Hamza will be the captain while Aiden Markram will be the vice-captain.
