The Cape Cobras will face the Highveld Lions in the South African One Day Cup final after a convincing three-wicket win over Titans in a play-off in Cape Town Sunday.

 

Cobras scored 245-7 in 46.3 overs to overhaul Titans  241-9 -- their second victory over the side in under a week.

 

Sent in to bat, Titans set a respectable target thanks to 107 from AB de Villiers, freshly returned from the Proteas  Test series victory over Australia.

 

Bowler Dale Steyn, also back from Australia, was deadly for Cobras, taking five wickets for 45 runs.

 

Cobras started their innings with a steady 38 from Richard Levi, then dropped back until a strong performance by the middle-order s Yaseen Vallie (60) and skipper Justin Ontong (82 not out).

 

Titans fought back notably through bowler Roelof van der Merwe, who took four wickets and conceded only 29 runs. 
The Cobras will face the Lions in the final on Friday.
