Titans favoured by about 28 runs on paper
Titans are favoured, with an 81% win chance, and are stronger on paper by about 28 runs at Boland Park. That edge is all batting: their batting is rated 29.7 runs above Boland's and outweighs a bowling unit rated 2.2 runs worse. The projected first-innings totals point the same way: Titans 185, Boland 169, against a par score of 162.
Titans' top seven average 23.5 against left-arm pace since 2023, 21% below their 29.9 against all bowling, where the benchmark rises 1%; Boland's Akhona Mnyaka, in our predicted XI, is their left-arm pace option.
