Pitch Report
As seen in previous games, a relatively high-scoring fixture beckons at SuperSport Park. The pacers might not get much swing early on, with the batters likely to enjoy the bounce off the surface. A change of pace and hitting hard lengths will be the way to go for the bowlers, with the pitch possibly slowing down as the match progresses. Wickets in hand will be key, with both teams preferring to bat first upon winning the toss.
Today’s TIT vs LIO Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Heinrich Klaasen: Heinrich Klaasen has been a revelation in the South African One-Day Cup this season, scoring 414 runs at a strike rate of 114.05. He is a good player of pace and spin, with his ability to shift gears at the time of need serving him well. While Rickelton is a decent option too, Klaasen should be a good addition to your TIT vs LIO Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Reeza Hendricks: Reeza Hendricks hasn't really fired for the Lions in the tournament. However, he is one of the better batters going around with some experience to fall back on. With Hendricks also likely to chip in with a few overs, he is one to watch out for in the final.
All-rounder
Neil Brand: Neil Brand has been the surprise package for the Titans, coming up with brilliant performances with both the bat and ball. Brand some provides much-needed balance and depth to the Titans side. With the conditions also serving him well, he is a decent option in your TIT vs LIO Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Bjorn Fortuin: Bjorn Fortuin has been impressive for the Lions, picking up wickets on a consistent basis in the middle overs. The left-armer is also a decent bet with the bat, which should hold him in good stead ahead of the summit clash. Although the Titans have a decent middle order, Fortuin could be backed to take a wicket or two.
