Predicting the results of the Cape Cobras is similar to guessing the lottery numbers.
There is simply no formula at the moment for the Cape franchise.
A handsome opening victory in Oudtshoorn was followed up a mediocre performance at Paarl against the Lions last Friday evening before Ashwell Prince’s team came back strongly on Sunday against the in-form Dolphins in Pietermaritzburg.

The victory on Sunday was built around Prince’s senior players contributing significantly.
Proteas batsman Zubayr Hamza struck his maiden List A century and fellow international Pieter Malan also struck a solid 71 off 81 balls.
Ahead of today’s 1.30pm clash with the Titans at Newlands, Hamza is looking to do the same, saying: “I think it comes down to having clear game plans in terms of going about a run-chase.
“Both games we won, we batted first and posted decent totals which got us over the line.
“When we chased, the scoreboard kind of dictated how we should play and we didn’t know how to go about it.
“We had a long hard chat about it after the game in Paarl.”
