Explosive half-centuries from Henry Davids and Martin van Jaarsveld, and brisk ones from Jacques Rudolph and Faf du Plessis, led Titans to victory by a comfortable margin against Lions at SuperSport Park.
Chasing 258, Titans made a terrific start with openers Davids and Rudolph smashing 139 off 17.5 overs, when Davids was dismissed for 81 off 58 balls. Roelof van der Merwe fell cheaply, and Rudolph went soon after for 54 off 52 balls, leaving Titans on 153 for 3 in the 21st over. There was no more success for Lions' bowlers, though, and all of them conceded at least six runs per over during their spells. Faf du Plessis remained unbeaten on 62 off 64 balls, while van Jaarsveld made 50 off 32 to complete a seven-wicket victory with 92 deliveries to spare.
Before the powerful batting performance, Titans' bowlers had impressed after their captain van Jaarsveld won the toss in Centurion. Five of the seven bowlers used took a wicket each and there were two run outs as well. They reduced Lions to 31 for 3 in 11 overs, depriving the innings of momentum at the start, and struck two more quick blows after a 60-run stand for the fourth wicket between Stephen Cook and Quinton de Kock. Once de Kock fell for 83 in the 41st over, Lions needed Jean Symes' 70 off 74 balls to reach 252 for 7.
