The 2021 edition of the CSA T20 Challenge will see the Titans face the Knights at Kingsmead in Durban on Friday. Both teams will look to start their campaign on a winning note.
The Knights are the weaker side on paper as they hardly have any international or experienced players in their ranks.
The Titans, on the other hand, will head into today's CSA T20 Challenge fixture as clear favorites. They have the likes of Heinrich Klaasen, Aiden Markram, Dean Elgar, Lungi Ngidi, and Tabraiz Shamsi in their squad.
The Titans, who are one of the favorites to win the CSA T20 Challenge, are expected to beat the Knights.
