South Africa's Titans posted a comfortable 39-run victory over Perth Scorchers in their opening Champions League Twenty20 match at Centurion.

The Titans reached 4 for 163 from their 20 overs with opener Jacques Rudolph impressing with a 59-ball 83, an innings that included three sixes and nine fours.

Fellow opener Henry Davids was also prominent on the scoreboard with 54, the pair having put on a 109-stand for the first wicket.

Nathan Rimmington was the most productive of the Scorchers' bowlers with figures of 2 for 20.

The Scorchers made little impact during their run chase, making 7 for 124.

All-rounder Mitchell Marsh played an almost lone hand with 52 from 41 deliveries.

Cornelius de Villiers proved a thorn in the side of the Scorchers' batting line-up, taking 3 for 16.
