The Titans bowling line-up boasts the formidable presence of Protea Women's fast bowler Masabata Klaas, whose experience and skill are expected to pose a significant threat to the opposition.
Joining her is medium-pacer Eliz-Mari Marx, fresh from her debut for the Protea Women, and the return of Nicolien Janse van Rensburg, adding depth and variety to the bowling attack.
On the batting front, the Sky Blues are boosted by the inclusion of national player Anneke Bosch, whose explosive batting style and recent career-high score of 65 off 63 balls make her a formidable force at the crease.
Additionally, batting such as Katherine Prior, Tebogo Macheke and Amogelang Maphangula are included in the squad.
The team will be without Ghandi Jafta and Simone Lourens who are on national duty representing South Africa at the 13th Africa Games in Ghana.
Coach of the Titans expressed his anticipation ahead of the curtain-raiser, stating, "The team has shown exceptional resilience, and we are eager to showcase our talent on the big stage."
The T20 Challenge clash against Free State Women is scheduled to start at 2pm at SuperSport Park and the CSA Women’s One-Day Cup on Saturday, 9 March at 10am.
