Titans, Dragons share points after rain prevents play

The captains of the Multiply Titans and Auto Investment Dragons shook hands and shared the points after their CSA T20 Challenge match at SuperSport Park was abandoned without a single ball delivered.

The match was declared a no-result and the two teams walked away with two points each.

The result means that the Dragons overtake the DP World Lions at the top of the log and the Titans retain their third-place slot.

The Titans are now five points ahead of fourth-placed Dafabet Warriors, who will be in action against Goldrush Boland Park on Wednesday.

Despite getting the buffer between them and the next side behind them, Mandla Mashimbyi’s side will be disappointed as they were hoping to pick up points and jump into the top two.

Keegan Petersen and his men would be equally disappointed. A victory would have given the Dragons a more substantial lead over the Lions.

As it stands, they lead the former league leaders by only a single point.

Russell Domingo’s Lions have an opportunity to reclaim top spot when they go up against World Sports Betting Western Province on Wednesday.

The Dragons’ next match will be on Saturday 19 October, against the Lions, while the Titans will also be in action on the 19th, against the Warriors.
