Dolphins vs Titans Betting Tips
Titans to score high before 1st dismissal ( @Parimatch)
Titans have a strong batting order and performed very well in their campaign so far. However, opening order has not been their strong suit in the competition. The team experimented a lot for the opening order in their campaign but could not find the right fit as the openers lost their wickets very early in the initial games. The team posted the scores of 12, 23, 1 & 1 runs in the first four games before 1st dismissal. The opening order changed to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Joshua van Heerden and Steve Stolk later on and produced better results. The team posted the scores of 31, 50, 24, 10 & 66 runs before their first dismissals in the next five games. Pretorius, van Heerden and Stolk average at 21.83, 24.33 & 14.33 respectively in the current competition. In their last contest against Dolphins, the Titans scored 31 runs before their 1st dismissal. That said, the Titans are very likely to score high for the 1st wicket in the next game.
