Titans made it four wins from four games in the Ram Slam T20 Challenge after cruising to a seven-wicket victory over the Cobras at Centurion on Sunday.
Watch the highlights at the top of the screen to see how Titans stayed at the top of the table, thanks mainly to Aiden Markram's 51 not out off 36 balls and AB de Villiers' 37.
The Cobras' innings got off to the worst possible start with pinch-hitter Wayne Parnell dismissed by Dale Steyn (2-16) for two and Hashim Amla joined him back in the pavilion for 12.
Temba Bavuma and captain JP Duminy steadied the ship for a while, but when Bavuma departed for 27, wickets began to fall at regular intervals.
Duminy ground his way to 40 off 43 balls, but wickets continued to tumble at the other end and he eventually fell to Malusi Siboto (2-16) as the Cobras crawled to 119-9 from their 20 overs.
In reply, the Titans slipped to 13-2 with Vernon Philander (2-31) dismissing both Quinton de Kock and Henry Davids for ducks, but from that moment they never really looked in danger.
Markram and De Villiers recorded a partnership of 70 from 38 balls to take the Titans close, before the latter was caught by Duminy off the bowling Mthiwekhaya Nabe (1-23).
Needing another 37 runs for victory, Markram, alongside Farhaan Behardien (15 not out), saw his side home with 39 balls to spare, notching his sixth T20 fifty in the process.
The Ram Slam T20 Challenge action continues on Wednesday when Dolphins play Warriors (3.55pm, Sky Sports Cricket).
