They impressed in a victory over Ho\u00ebrskool Piet Potgieter<\/strong>, a dark horse title challenger, in their round-robin clash in Mokopane.<\/p>\n

A tremendous bowling display from their mainstay, Kamogelo Morema<\/strong>,\u00a0 who was well supported by Nyedi Photona,<\/strong> laid the platform for the visitor’s victory.<\/p>\n

Morema, who was a member of the 2023 Mohodi side that made history by becoming the first Hub team in South Africa to win a Premier League trophy, showed his experience as he returned a splendid 3\/4 from four overs.<\/p>\n

Photona stole the limelight with his opening spell, however. Maintaining a consistent line and length, he tore through the Piet Pot top order to capture 4\/21 from six overs. Only Piet Potgieter’s captain, Aeron Vaidyan<\/strong>, seemed comfortable at the crease as he top-scored with 30 runs from 33 deliveries, but his side slumped to a disappointing 103 all out.<\/p>\n

Mohodi’s other seasoned campaigner, Victor Sehata<\/strong>, then, shone with the bat. He played with confidence, tallying an unbeaten 58 from 62 deliveries at the top of the order to steer the Hub team to a much-needed five-wicket victory.<\/p>\n

Merensky Landbou Akademie’s<\/strong> head coach, Stebian van der Walt<\/strong>, would have enjoyed his team’s return to winning ways on Saturday, with the Plasies stamping their authority on proceedings in a convincing nine-wicket victory over Nkowankowa Boys Hub.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wicketkeeper\/batsman JP Botha<\/strong> was, once again, the star of the show. With Merensky needing only 79 to win, he paced his innings nicely, accelerating towards the end and signing off with a boundary to finish with an unbeaten 51 from just 34 deliveries.<\/p>\n

Luka Heinlein<\/strong> and Timothy Baker<\/strong> were again the standouts with the ball. Heinlein picked up 3\/18 in five overs, while Baker’s left-arm spin brought him a return of 3\/28.<\/p>\n

Ho\u00ebrskool Pietersburg<\/strong>, the only unbeaten side in the league, kept their clean record intact. The men from the Limpopo capital thrashed their old rivals, Ho\u00ebrskool Ben Vorster<\/strong>, by nine wickets. A good all-round bowling performance, led by young AJ Galloway’s<\/strong> 3\/7, restricted the Vossies to only 79 all out.<\/p>\n

Dian Gouws<\/strong> made light work of the small target, striking an unbeaten 47, while Nicholaas Oerlemans<\/strong> weighed in with 23 not out as the Pieties crossed the line in the tenth over.<\/p>\n
