PHOT: Frans Lombard<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Waterkloof<\/strong> bowlers flexed their muscles on home turf against Cornwall Hill<\/strong> in their group-stage encounter of the Titans A-League on Monday.<\/p>\n

The home visitors won the toss and elected to bowl first as they looked to make some early inroads on an already-used pitch.<\/p>\n

The decision brought on some early success as the home side found themselves in a pickle at 51\/4 in the 13th over.<\/p>\n

This was set up by a wonderful expedition of new-ball bowling from Tshepo Molete<\/strong> who claimed remarkable figures of 4\/43.<\/p>\n

However, a 73-run stand between Beukes van der Berg<\/strong> and Riley Miller<\/strong> steadied the ship and got the Klofie innings back on track.<\/p>\n

The Klofies’ regained momentum was halted when Miller had to depart with his score on 27 from 35 balls and Waterkloof kept on losing wickets.<\/p>\n

Van der Berg kept his composure amidst the chaos around him contributing an impressive 79 from 92 deliveries under severe pressure. The top-order batters’ contribution helped the home side reach a somewhat below-par score of 187 all out as Cornwall went into the break as the happier side.<\/p>\n

The tables were soon turned as the Klofie bowlers came out firing, claiming the first Cornwall wicket in only the second over.<\/p>\n

Evan Dixon<\/strong> tried valiantly with his 29 from 62 deliveries but even he could not withstand the severe onslaught launched by the home side’s bowling lineup.<\/p>\n

Franco Cronje<\/strong> led the Klofie attack with exceptional figures of 3\/13 in his outing with the ball. Cronje found support in his fired-up quick, Tristan Luus<\/strong>, who finished the day with breathtaking figures of 2\/4 in the nine overs he bowled, recording an economy rate of only 0,44.<\/p>\n

Marcus Bakker<\/strong> also got in on the act with equally impressive figures of 2\/9, also in nine overs as he too recorded an economy rate of only one run to the the over.<\/p>\n

The trio’s remarkable display with the ball, restricted the visitors to a meagre 84 all out, handing Waterkloof a handsome victory of 103 runs, keeping their hunt for the top spot among the Titan Teams alive.<\/p>\n

Summarised scorecard:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Waterkloof 187\/10<\/strong> (Beukes van der Berg 79, Riley Miller 27, GJ de Swardt 23; Tshepo Molete 5\/43, Jason Jansen 3\/42); Cornwall Hill College 84\/10<\/strong> (Evan Nixon 29; Franco Cronj\u00e9 3\/13, Tristan Luus 2\/4, Marcus Bakker 2\/9). Waterkloof won by 103 runs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
