TEAMS PREVIEW
Boland (Rocks) Preview
Boland's last completed game came in the CSA T20 Challenge 2025 final against Warriors, where the match ended in a tie before Warriors won the Super Over. Boland will now begin their 2026 campaign looking to build on their strong run from last season.
With the bat, Lehan Botha was Boland's leading run-scorer last season, accumulating 256 runs in eight matches. Jhedli van Briesies added 141 runs in nine matches, while Ferisco Adams contributed 167 runs. Botha and van Briesies will be important players in the batting lineup as Boland begin their new campaign.
The bowling attack was led by Imran Manack, who claimed 15 wickets in nine matches last season. Glenton Stuurman also impressed with 14 wickets, while Siyabonga Mahima picked up eight wickets. Their experience gives Boland plenty of options with the ball.
Boland will look to start the new season strongly after finishing at the top of the points table last season and reaching the final. Their balanced squad and experience from last year's campaign could be important as they begin their Pool B campaign against Knights.

Knights Preview
The Knights lost their opening CSA T20 Challenge 2026 match against Western Province by five wickets. After posting 168/7, they saw Western Province chase down the target of 169 in 19.4 overs.
With the bat, Jonathan Bird was the top scorer for Knights in their last game, making 41 runs off 26 balls. Ruan Haasbroek added 39 runs from 31 balls, while Emmanuel Motswiri remained unbeaten on 30 off 20 balls to help Knights post a competitive total.
The bowling attack was led by Tiaan van Vuuren, who took 1/28 in four overs. Jacques Snyman also picked up a wicket for 22 runs in three overs, while Dane Piedt finished with 1/33 from his four overs. Malusi Siboto claimed one wicket but conceded 36 runs in 3.4 overs.
Knights will be aiming for a better all-round performance in their second match of the tournament. Their batting showed enough depth in the previous game, but the bowling unit will need to be more effective against a Boland side beginning its campaign.
