The Titans head into the match eager to reset their red-ball campaign after a difficult start

that has seen them go without a win in the 4-Day competition so far. Having wrapped up

their CSA T20 Challenge about three weeks ago, where they finished sixth on the log, the

team now shifts focus toward rebuilding momentum, strengthening key areas of play, and

climbing steadily up the standings.

Head Coach Rivash Gobind believes the recently concluded T20 Challenge played an

important role in lifting team spirit and sharpening competitive edge, “The T20 Challenge

was a good platform for the men to gain confidence. It injected great energy into the squad,

and we’re looking forward to carrying that into the 4-Day Series. Being back at home gives

us a valuable advantage, and we believe the conditions at SuperSport Park will suit the

brand of cricket we want to play,” said Gobind.

The Sky Blues will be boosted by the return of Simon Harmer, who re-joins the side after the

outbound test series in India, where he was named Player of the Series. His presence adds

immense experience and tactical skill to the bowling attack. Tsepo Ndwandwa also returns

to the squad, further strengthening the Titans’ options with ball in hand.

On the batting front, the Titans welcome a strong line-up that includes Rivaldo Moonsamy,

Lhuan-dré Pretorius, Keegan Petersen, Lesego Senokwane, and Neil Brand, who will be

central to anchoring the innings and setting the tone across the four days. Gobind expressed

confidence in the group selected for the final home match of the year, noting the balance

and depth within the squad and the enthusiasm to host the Dolphins in front of home

supporters.

SuperSport Park will open its gates at 10:00, and entry is free, giving fans every opportunity

to come out and support the Sky Blues in what promises to be an important and

competitive fixture.
