Welcome to SuperSport for the Final of the PRO20 Series between
Titans and Warriors
The final game of the South African season and a full-house at
SuperSport Park
Both teams coming off last over wins in the Semi-Finals should
entertain this big crowd for the next three hours

underdogs have a big task to restrict the hard hitting of Justin
Kemp and Gerald Dros

Robin Peterson and their find of the season, Johan Botha
The Titans have lots of pace in Dale Steyn, Ethy Mbhalati, Alfonso
Thomas and again Justin Kemp

for all the players and their wives/girlfriends
