Entertaining innings, by Keamogetswe Semenya<\/strong> and Righardt Joubert,<\/strong> saw the hosts thump the Badgers by a whopping 173 runs.<\/p>\n

Semenya, who is enjoying a good week, batted patiently once again, laying a solid foundation for those to follow with a well-played 81 runs.<\/p>\n

Joubert, a shining star in the middle order, dialled up the pressure with aggressive running between the wickets to notch his first half-century of the week, contributing 75.<\/p>\n

Vihan Pretorius<\/strong> was also in the runs again, making 33, to help his side to a healthy 269\/9 in their 50 overs.<\/p>\n

The Titans’ bowlers found their rhythm quickly, too. Rehaan Patel<\/strong> and Neoentle Makwela<\/strong> were equally impressive, with both snapping up figures of 4\/21, as the Badgers slid to a disappointing 77 all out.<\/p>\n

Daylenn Williams<\/strong> was the shining light for the side from the South Western Districts, enjoying a good outing with the ball as he picked up four wickets while conceding 55 runs in their losing effort.<\/p>\n

The Tuskers<\/strong>, after a defeat against Western Province, got back to winning ways with a narrow eight-run victory by the DLS Method over the high-flying Central Gauteng Lions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Akhil Bharath<\/strong> came to the party by tearing through the heart of the Lions’ batting line-up to finish with a sparkling 5\/20. He played a key role in keeping the Gauteng batsmen in check after Ombesa Matsha <\/strong>had given them a solid start by scoring 53.<\/p>\n

The Tuskers’ Obakeng Motsepa<\/strong> also deserves a pat on the back for his batting effort. In tough conditions, he stuck manfully to his task to record a crucial 51 runs, which helped his side place a tick in the win column.<\/p>\n

The other team from KwaZulu-Natal, the Dolphins<\/strong>, rolled to a five-wicket victory over Boland<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Western Cape side batted first but found the going tough, tallying 134 all out. Abriam Jacobs<\/strong> played well for 43, but leg-spinner Shiraz Perumal<\/strong> snared 3\/34, while David de Bruyn<\/strong>, Tristan Delvin<\/strong>, and Bonga Maphanga<\/strong> bagged two wickets apiece cheaply.<\/p>\n

In the Dolphins’ reply, Kyle McGough<\/strong> played the anchor innings, 57 not out, while his Westville Boys’ High<\/strong> team-mate, Tristan Delvin, finished on 34 not out, as the Dolphins recorded a convincing win.<\/p>\n

Ronan Meintjies<\/strong>, with 2\/8, and Dion Slabber<\/strong>, with 2\/20, were the pick of the Boland bowlers.<\/p>\n

Eastern Province’s Connor Parry<\/strong>, with a second half-century on the trot, was at the forefront of another EP victory, this time by a comfortable 53 runs on the DLS Method over Western Province<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Michael Kruiskamp<\/strong>, the spearhead of the Western Province bowling attack, was on song once more, knocking over 5\/31. His outstanding effort was well counter-balanced by Sulaymaan Gangat<\/strong>‘s off-spin, however, which brought him a decisive return of 4\/24.<\/p>\n

In the Gold Pool, Easterns<\/strong> were too strong for a fired-up North West side. The talented all-rounder from Kempton Park<\/strong>, Stephan Vermaak<\/strong> led the way, striking an unbeaten 79 to see his side to a big eight-wicket victory via the DLS Method.<\/p>\n

The Eastern Cape Iinyathi<\/strong> celebrated a comprehensive win over a wounded Mpumalanga<\/strong> team.<\/p>\n

Ambese Linda<\/strong> took it to the Mpumalanga bowlers and was rewarded with his team’s highest score of 58 as the Iinyathi totalled 201\/8. In the bowling department, Awonke Mgini <\/strong>led the Eastern Cape side, capturing 4\/18 to restrict Mpumalanga to a meagre 77 runs.<\/p>\n

Free State<\/strong>‘s Daniel Hattingh<\/strong> terrorised the Limpopo Impalas’ batsmen, claiming four scalps for only 23 runs as the Impalas<\/strong> struggled their way to only 90 all out. FG Botha<\/strong> was once again the main contributor with the bat for Free State, scoring 27,\u00a0 as his side bounded to an easy victory.<\/p>\n
