Pitch Report

We could not find full venue averages for City Oval. Here are the last two T20 scores we could check at this ground:

Date	Match	Batting first	Chasing	Result
4 Oct 2026	Tuskers vs Boland	Boland 187/5	Tuskers 124 all out	Boland won by 63 runs
29 Oct 2025	Tuskers vs Titans	Titans 151/7	Tuskers 142 all out	Titans won by 9 runs

In both games, the team batting first won. Scores here have been a lot lower than what Titans got at Centurion. Something around 160 to 180 looks like a good first innings total. The Tuskers have been bowled out twice in this Pro20 Cup, so bowlers who bowl in the middle overs can pick up points. Bat first if you win the toss.

Weather Report

Pietermaritzburg on Tuesday looks dry. The forecast shows a high of about 28°C and a low of about 17°C, with only a 10% chance of rain. We should get a full 20 over game.

Probable Playing XIs

Titans: Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Sinethemba Qeshile, Dewald Brevis, Donovan Ferreira (c & wk), Leus du Plooy, Rivaldo Moonsamy, Dayyaan Galiem, Beyers Swanepoel, Aphiwe Mnyanda, Tabraiz Shamsi, Esosa Aihevba

Tuskers: Jack Lees, Malcolm Nofal, Gareth Dukes, Cameron Shekleton (c & wk), Chad Laycock, Michael Erlank, Bamanye Xenxe, Ziyaad Abrahams, Liyema Waqu, Parth Patel, Kagiso Rapulana

Final XIs come at the toss.

Top Fantasy Picks

Lhuan-dre Pretorius (Titans, batter): Scores of 188 not out against Knights, 27 off 17 against SA Emerging and 80 off 53 against Eastern Storm. He opens and bats long. The most reliable run scorer in this game.

Dewald Brevis (Titans, batter): 65 not out off 22 balls and then 83 off 26 balls with 11 sixes in his last two games. When he gets going, he can win you the contest by himself.

Donovan Ferreira (Titans, wicketkeeper): 38 not out off 16 balls and 1/31 from his full four overs against Eastern Storm. He keeps, bats in the middle and bowls. Points from three areas.

Dayyaan Galiem (Titans, all rounder): 2/21 in three overs against Eastern Storm, plus two catches in the same game. He bowls his overs every match and bats lower down.

Tabraiz Shamsi (Titans, bowler): 3/21 in four overs in the last game. At a ground where scores have been lower than Centurion, his spin can be even more useful.

Gareth Dukes (Tuskers, batter): 19 off 12, 27 off 17 and then 82 not out in the chase against Knights. He has scored in every game and also bowled two overs last time.

Cameron Shekleton (Tuskers, wicketkeeper): 50 against Rhinos and 39 against Boland, the Tuskers top scorer in both of those losses. He also took two stumpings against Knights.

Titans vs Tuskers Fantasy Team: Small Leagues

• Wicketkeepers: Donovan Ferreira, Cameron Shekleton
• Batters: Lhuan-dre Pretorius (C), Dewald Brevis, Sinethemba Qeshile, Gareth Dukes
• All rounders: Dayyaan Galiem (Vc), Malcolm Nofal
• Bowlers: Tabraiz Shamsi, Parth Patel, Liyema Waqu

Captain: Lhuan-dre Pretorius. He has 295 runs in his last three innings (188 not out, 27 and 80) and opens the batting, so he gets the most balls.

Vice captain: Dayyaan Galiem. An all rounder who took 2/21 and two catches last game, and he gives you bowling and batting points in one pick.

Titans vs Tuskers Fantasy Team: Grand Leagues

• Wicketkeepers: Donovan Ferreira, Cameron Shekleton
• Batters: Dewald Brevis (C), Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Gareth Dukes, Jack Lees, Rivaldo Moonsamy
• All rounders: Dayyaan Galiem (Vc), Bamanye Xenxe
• Bowlers: Tabraiz Shamsi, Esosa Aihevba

Captain: Dewald Brevis. 65 not out and 83 in his last two games, with 19 sixes between them. Fewer people may pick him over Pretorius as captain.

Vice captain: Dayyaan Galiem. An all rounder with 2/21 last time, and at a ground where scores have been lower, his overs can matter more.

Picks to make your team different: Jack Lees (40 off 23 vs Rhinos, 38 off 26 vs Knights), Rivaldo Moonsamy (28 not out off 17 vs SA Emerging), Bamanye Xenxe (17 and 1/27 in his last two games) and Esosa Aihevba (1/17 in two overs against Eastern Storm).

Match Prediction

Titans should win this game. They have won all five games, and Pretorius, Brevis and Ferreira scored 201 runs between them in the last game alone. The Tuskers did well to chase down 151 against Knights, but they were bowled out for 142 and 124 in their two games before that. The home pitch will make it closer than Titans’ big wins at Centurion, but Titans have more batting and Shamsi in the bowling.
