Match Ended   
Knights Knights
124 (19.0/20)
151/6 (20.0/20)
Titans beat Knights by 27 runs
Right then! That is all we have from this game and from Super Saturday as well. Do not worry as the action in the CSA T20 Challenge continues on the 13th of February, Sunday with another doubleheader. In the first match, Highveld Lions will take on Western Province. That match begins at 1.30 pm IST (8 am GMT). The build-up will begin much sooner though. Do join us then. Till then take care and goodbye!
The skipper of Titans, Theunis de Bruyn says that they are winning games but they are not playing great cricket. He adds that he asked the bowlers to do something special today and they have delivered. He says that the spinners bowled well but overall they need to play better cricket.
Lizaad Williams is the BOWLER OF THE MATCH! Williams says that it's always nice to get a win and to contribute to that win and he is happy to have done that today. He adds that they bowled well in the Powerplay and did well to defend a below-par score. He mentions that he just looked to hit the top of off and was ready for the consequences.
Heinrich Klaasen is the BATTER OF THE MATCH! Klaasen says that a couple of wickets up front helped them a lot and overall it has been a good effort. He says that he is happy with the way he batted and hopes to continue in the same vein.
Time for the presentation...
Defending a below-par score, the Titans didn't get a wicket in the first three overs. Then Aaron Phangiso came in and got the first wicket, which brought two more and they had a stronghold on the match. Phangiso was brilliant throughout but in the middle overs, their bowlers were just a tad sluggish, allowing their opponents back into the contest. The bowler of the day, Lizaad Williams came back in at the death and pulled off a stunning catch off his own bowling to get rid of Behardien and then Shamsi, along with some neat work behind the stumps by de Kock ended any hopes of a comeback. In the end, it was a well-deserved victory for the titans.
From 120 for 5 to being bundled out for 124, that is some collapse from the Knights! Jacques Snyman was positive at the start and Patrick Kruger too looked good. Knights lost their way inside the Powerplay and a poor run-out did not help their confidence. Raynard van Tonder the culprit in the run-out stayed on and tried to build a partnership with Farhaan Behardien. Van Tonder then perished while looking to up the ante but Moshele provided a bit of momentum to the chase. Then came the cameo from Migael Pretorius and Behardien too started striking the ball well. Once Behardien fell, the Knights collapsed.
Well, it was a topsy-turvy chase to say the least. Knights started off fairly well but lost 3 wickets in quick succession and when Titans were in full command of the game, came a surge from Knights. But in the last 3 overs, the Titans were clinical and managed to kill the chase, handing their opponents a third defeat in a row. Titans now make their way into the top four with this win.

Junior Dala To Alfred Mothoa OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! It's all over! Just two overs before, Knights were right in the game but they have been bowled out here for 124! Courtesy a dramatic collapse! A length delivery on middle. Alfred Mothoa continues with his wild swings across the line. This time he gets a thick outside edge. The ball flies towards third man and Lizaad Williams there takes a good low catch. Lizaad Williams is not convinced though about his catch and asks umpires to go upstairs and replays confirm that he has taken a clean catch. So Titans win by 27 runs!
Is that a catch? The fielder, Lizaad Williams asks the umpires to go upstairs as he is not sure if he has taken it cleanly or not. The decision is sent upstairs and the soft signal is OUT. The players in the middle are shaking each other's hands and the replay shows that there is no conclusive evidence to overturn the on field decision. With this, Knights have been bundled out.

Tabraiz Shamsi To Nealan van Heerden OUT!
OUT! RUN OUT! Gregory Mahlokwana is gone and any hopes before this over has been put to rest. A fuller delivery on off. Nealan van Heerden drives it to covers and the batters run for a single. Ayabulela Gqamane fires in a throw at the batter's end and Gregory Mahlokwana running to the danger end is out of his crease.
Is that a run-out? Once again Quinton de Kock seems certain as the decision is sent upstairs. The batters push for a risky single and Ayabulela Gqamane fires in the throw towards the keeper. De Kock collects it well on the half-volley and whips off the bails in a flash. The replay shows that Gregory Mahlokwana is well short and he has to depart. OUT!
Nealan van Heerden is in at number 10.

Tabraiz Shamsi To Jason Raubenheimer OUT!
OUT! STUMPED! Tabraiz Shamsi has killed the chase here with the double-strike! Shamsi tosses this up around off. Jason Raubenheimer has no choice but to look for a big hit. He skips down the track and looks go downtown but misses. Quinton de Kock collects the ball and whips the bails off. The umpire takes it upstairs and the replays show that Jason Raubenheimer is out of his crease. So it is all falling apart now.
Is that stumped? Quinton de Kock seems certain that he has got his man but the umpires have gone upstairs. Shamsi's front foot seems fine and the replay shows that the back foot of Jason Raubenheimer is still in the air as the bails are whipped off and the third umpire signals it OUT.

OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Ohh...what a catch! You will not see a better reaction catch than that! Is that a match-winning catch? A full delivery on off. Farhaan Behardien drills it back to the bowler with utmost power. Lizaad Williams just puts his right hand out and snatches it out of thin air. No celebration from him and he just walks back as cool as you like but he has taken a big wicket here. Can Migael Pretorius now take the Knights home on his own?

Ayabulela Gqamane To Mangaliso Mosehle OUT!
OUT! TIMBER! That's the wicket Titans were looking for and the bowling change has worked wonders. Ayabulela Gqamane goes wider of the crease and angles in a length ball from outside off. The ball jags back in a long way. Mangaliso Mosehle is rooted to the crease as his feet don't move and he looks to drive on the up. The ball goes through the huge gap between bat and pad and hits the top of off. Knights lose their fifth and still 77 runs are required off 46 balls.

Junior Dala To Raynard van Tonder
Is that a drop catch? Yes, it is the second one of the innings! Back of a length, outside off. Raynard van Tonder cuts it to point. The fielder there was moving to his right but the ball goes just to his left and he fails to pouch it.

Lizaad Williams To Raynard van Tonder
Beaten! A wicket-maiden from Lizaad Williams! This is top bowling from Williams. A good-length ball, around off and just nipping back in a bit off the surface. Raynard van Tonder has a poke at it but gets beaten past the outside edge.
Farhaan Behardien is the next man in.

Lizaad Williams To Pite van Biljon OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! This is what pressure does to you! Pite van Biljon was getting bogged down and Lizaad Williams is duly rewarded now for his hard work. Fuller delivery, on off. Van Biljon seems to have had enough and tries to force it over mid on. He gets absolutely no timing on it and manages to chip it over mid on. Heinrich Klaasen takes a couple of steps backwards and hangs on to another catch. Knights are falling apart here.

Aaron Phangiso To Raynard van Tonder OUT!
OUT! RUN OUT! That is an absolute catastrophe! Raynard van Tonder has pressed the self-destruct button and has run his partner out. On off, this is pushed straight to cover. Van Tonder just goes for the single which is never there and doesn't seem to be bothered by his partner's call. Patrick Kruger too is ball watching as Ayabulela Gqamane throws the ball to Quinton de Kock who whips off the bails with ease. There is some confusion as to actually is out and the replay shows that van Tonder just about grounded his bat before Kruger who just could not believe what was happening. Kruger has to depart and he isn't one bit happy about that. The skipper, Pite van Biljon is the new man in.
There is some confusion about who is out here?  Someone is surely run out here. Replays roll in and they show that Patrick Kruger is late to put his bat down. So he has to walk back.

Aaron Phangiso To Jacques Snyman OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Jacques Snyman has thrown his wicket here! Tossed up, around off. Snyman skips down the track and gets to the pitch of the ball. For no reason, he just doesn't follow through on the shot and hits it straight down the throat of the fielder on the long off fence. Heinrich Klaasen doesn't have the gloves on today but won't miss a simple chance like that. Aaron Phangiso with a wicket off his first ball and Titans have the breakthrough.
Time for some spin now. Aaron Phangiso is into the attack now.
