The Titans crumbled in the match as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals.
The South African side lost the wickets of David Wiese, AB de Villiers and Roelof van der Merwe in quick succession to negate the flamboyant start given by Henry Davids and Heino Kuhn.
The Davids-Kuhn duo put up a 69-run partnership before Brisbane Heat gained an upper hand in the contest when they successfully dismissed both in just two overs.
Kuhn (31) was the first to be dismissed when he was caught by Daniel Christian off the bowling of Ben Cutting. Soon after, Titans skipper Davids (39) fell short of his crease and was run out.
Davids and Kuhn revived the Titans innings after they lost opener Jacques Rudolph early to Matthew Gale.
Rudolph (1) was caught by Chris Sabburg at cover point almost immediately after the match began post Brisbane Heat captain James Hopes winning the toss and deciding to bowl.
Earlier, rain delayed the toss of the match by one hour and therefore the mid-innings break will be reduced to 10 minutes. There will be no overs reduced.
Teams:
Brisbane Heat: James Hopes (Capt.), Joe Burns, Peter Forrest, Daniel Christian, Chris Lynn, Chris Hartley (wk), Ben Cutting, Chris Sabburg, Nathan Hauritz, Matthew Gale, Alister McDermott.
Titans: Henry Davids (Capt.), Jacques Rudolph, AB de Villiers, Farhaan Behardien, David Wiese, Roelof van der Merwe, Mangaliso Mosehle, Heino Kuhn, Morne Morkel, Marchant de Lange, Rowan Richards.
