It is now down to the business end in the Momentum One Day cup as the four play-off spots have now been confirmed.
The Warriors survived a scare after losing for consecutive matches which left them with a must-win encounter with the WSB Cape Cobras in Port Elizabeth. The Titans had a poor start to their campaign losing their first three matches but the return of Proteas batsman, Aiden Markram provided the much-needed batting muscle to sway the results to their favor. Markram is averaging 131 runs from 3 innings at a strike-rate of 131.
Here are 5 things you might have missed in the MODC 2018/19 season
