BLOEMFONTEIN, South Africa, (CMC) – Darren Sammy’s appointment as Titans skipper did little to change their fortunes as they crashed to their fourth straight defeat in the South African Ram Slam Twenty20 League on Friday.

Sent in, they were held to 135 for six and Knights, with West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell on board, cantered to victory by eight wickets with 22 balls remaining at Chevrolet Park.
Sammy’s poor run of form continued as well, with the right-hander dismissed for two, as replaced captain Henry Davids top-scored with 45. He put on 70 for the first wicket with Theunis de Bruyn who got 38.
Russell went wicket-less in his four overs of seam which cost 26 runs.
Opener Reeza Hendricks then top-scored with an unbeaten 76 off 48 balls to carry Knights home, as Sammy sent down two ineffective overs for 14 runs.
At the New Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg, West Indies big-hitter Kieron Pollard failed with the bat as his Cape Cobras crashed to a 47-run loss to Lions, who were without opener Chris Gayle.
Pollard scored 13 from 16 balls as the Cobras were restricted to 94 for nine in pursuit of 142.
He had earlier taken two for 26 from his four overs.
In Port Elizabeth, West Indies one-day captain Dwayne Bravo also found himself on the losing side as Dolphins went down to Warriors by seven wickets off the last ball of the game.
Bravo managed just 21 from 25 balls in his side’s total of 142 for six, and took two for 20 from his overs as Warriors scraped home.
