First Innings: Titans — 267/3 (20 Overs) The Record-Breaking Knock: 20-year-old South African batter Lhuan-dre Pretorius produced a historic performance, scoring an unbeaten 188 off 79 balls*. Eclipsing Chris Gayle: Pretorius broke Chris Gayle’s 13-year-old record for the highest individual score in men's T20 history (previously 175* for RCB in 2013). He hit 15 fours and 13 sixes at a strike rate of 237.97. Progression: Reached his 50 off 24 balls, brought up his 100 off 40 balls, and crossed 150 off 58 balls, narrowly missing out on a T20 double-century as overs ran out. Team Total: The Titans posted a mammoth 267/3, marking the second-highest total in CSA T20 Challenge history. Second Innings: Knights — 143 All Out (17.2 Overs) The Chase: Tasks with a massive required run rate from ball one, the Knights struggled to build partnerships against a disciplined Titans bowling attack. Collapsing Under Pressure: Knights lost wickets at regular intervals and were bundled out for just 143 runs in 17.2 overs, handing the Titans a commanding 124-run victory. Highest Individual T20 Score: Lhuan-dre Pretorius (188* vs. Knights, 2026) Previous Record: Chris Gayle (175* vs. Pune Warriors, 2013) Previous South African Record: Dewald Brevis (162 vs. Knights, 2022) Balls Faced Record: 79 balls (equals the record for most balls faced in a men's T20 match)
