"This is a hard ground to defend, hopefully we can restrict them. It's nice having guys who have played a lot of cricket, especially in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Wood-c98110 has missed out," said
North.
His counterpart, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Martin-van-Jaarsveld-c74944 looked calm, despite claiming, "We generally like to chase as well."

Same is the case for Titans’ duo of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AB-de-Villiers-c887, who has been ruled out of the competition due to a back injury.
