The Titans returned to their home ground seeking a victory in the second Standard Bank Pro20 semi-final against the Cobras, after losing the away leg in Cape Town.

The Titans could not have gotten off to a worse start as they lost Davids off the first ball of the innings, soon van der Merwe was sent packing with the score on 9 for 2.

Behardien joined Jacques Rudolph at the wicket and they very quickly built a partnership. Rudolph anchored the partnership while Behardien pushed on, going to his half-century off just 22 balls. Behardien eventually fell for 69 off 42 balls.

Albie Morkel picked up where Behardien left off, smashing the Cobra’s bowlers all over SuperSport Park… Then the lights went out. A power failure halted the Titans innings for thirty minutes but as soon as the lights came back on so the Titans batsmen pressed on.

Morkel smashed 71* from just 38 balls, his half-century coming off 19 balls… the score eventually settling on a massive 222. The second highest total in domestic Pro20.

Needing 223 for victory seemed an unlikely task…. The Cobra’s batsmen had other idea’s. Herschelle Gibbs fell early giving the Titans fans hope but Levi, Vilas and Shah all powered past their half-centuries.

The Cobras never fell behind the run rate as they went about chasing down the highest run chase in Pro20 history. The Titian’s bowlers had no clue on the evening.

The victory secures a home final for the Cobras against the Warriors.
