The Dolphins is the new champions of Cricket South Africa\u2019s annual Cubs Week after keeping their unbeaten status with a 47-run victory over the Cape Cobras on the penultimate day of the tournament.<\/p>\n
The Dolphins will face the Warriors tomorrow in their final clash of the tournament in a match that has nothing more than pride at stake. Opening batsman Thamsanqa Khumalo (113) scored a century against the Cobras as his side managed 270\/7 in their allotted 50 overs.<\/p>\n
Andile Mogakane also produced an allround performance as he chipped in with a half-century (56) as well as picking up three wickets at the cost of only 18 runs. Yves Kamanzi (4\/29) was the pick of the bowlers for the Dolphins as the Cobras were restricted to 223.<\/p>\n
Ruben Terblanch\u00e9 (92) missed out on his century for the Cobras but continued his excellent form at the Cubs Week.<\/p>\n
The Warriors needed seven runs from the last over to secure a victory over the Lions at the Van der Stel grounds in Stellenbosch. Lions\u2019 allrounder Marco Jansen (1\/38) stepped up to the plate and only conceded two runs during the final over of the match.<\/p>\n
The Lions recorded 231\/7 in their allotted over thanks to contributions by Michael Copeland (57), Jansen (47) and Bryce Parsons (45). For the Warriors Matt Dewar (52) and Tristan Stubbs (51) recorded half-centuries but could not manage to convert their innings.<\/p>\n
Jandre Pretorius (97*) just missed out on his century as the Titans suffered yet another defeat against the Knights. Musa Twala (52) also contributed with his half-century as the Titans reached a competitive 217\/4 in a shortened match.<\/p>\n
It was however the heroics of Calvin Flanegan (83*) and Pheko Moletsane (30*) with the bat that helped the Knights home. They\u2019ve shared an unbeaten 98-run partnership over the fifth wicket.<\/p>\n
