Here we start with the CSA T20 League 2021. The first fixture is between the Knights and the Titans.

With Chris Morris making history by being the most expensive buy in the history of IPL Auctions going for a whopping 16.25Cr to Rajasthan Royals, he'd be looking for a great season out here with the Titans!

The Titans are surely the better team on paper but the Knights have some underrated talented stars and can also do well collectively in a team.

It's the first T20 game of this season and predicting which players would do well is a bit difficult, so either invest less or play in GL.
Players like Faf Du Plessis and Quinton De Kock haven't been mentioned in the squads given in cricbuzz but if either of them do feature in the playing XI, they are very important picks.

Titans - Dean Elgar, Aiden Markram, Henry Davids, Grant Thompson, Theunis De Bruyn, Heinrich Klaassen(C)(Wk), Chris Morris, Dayyan Galliem, Tabraiz Shamsi, Lungi Ngidi, Simon Harmer

(Pre Toss)(9 players)
