The Knights head into the knockout match as the team that topped Pool B in Bloemfontein, while the reinforced Province were the runners-up in Pool A, that was played in Kimberley.

The Diamond Oval was a home ground of the Knights for a long time and they do know the field well.

The Knights assistant coach, JP Triegaardt, told OFM Sport that they have to be on the mark with their execution.

“There facilities here are really good. If you take a look at the two previous bubbles in Kimberley there were some really high scores.

“If you really miss your mark you will travel on a wicket like this. On a deck like this your execution becomes really crucial.

“We are really well prepared and we really just want to go out and play.

“It's a big game and each game massive for us, but I think we are well prepared.”

At 10:00 on Tuesday morning, SWD face the Titans, while the Knights lock-horns with Province at 14:30.
