TIT vs DOL Dream11 Team News:
Titans:
Titans will miss out on some of the star players including Aiden Markram but the team is still one of the strongest in the tournament and are favorites to win the trophy once again. In the previous edition, Zorzi was one of the stand-out performers for Titans and this year, in the absence of Markram, Elgar, he will be having extra responsibility. Farhaan Behardien is yet another player who will begin in the necessary experience to the otherwise young squad.
Dolphins
Though the defending champions Dolphins doesn’t have a lot of international players like Titans, the team is full of raw talent and has the players who are likely to make their debut soon for the national team. Roelofsen is one of them. The Dolphins batsman ended up as the leading run-scorer in the previous edition of the tournament. He had 588 runs from his 10 matches. Apart from Roelofsen, the team will be dependent on Erwee as well. Erwee can contribute both with bat and ball which is an added advantage. However, he will not play this match as he was with the national side which took on Sri Lanka recently.
