That's the end of the game and WESTERN PROVINCE wrap up a massive victory winning by 8 wickets. BOLAND was never in the game but that is more down to WESTERN PROVINCE's excellent performance than it was the former's poor effort. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said WESTERN PROVINCE proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

The new batsman is Wiets Steyn.
18.5 Robbie East to Wiets Steyn, 0, 107kph, R East runs his fingers across the seam and he finds a hint of swing from an off stump line. W Steyn cuts but can't time it properly. Not in the gap
18.6 Robbie East to Wiets Steyn, 0, 111kph, R East hits a good length outside off. Herschelle Meintjies drops a sitter and he is quick to cut off the single

Wiets Steyn 0 (2b 0x4 0x6) Gogga Adams 3-0-25-1
19.1 Gogga Adams to Mike Pollock, 1, 76kph, This one is bowled slightly flatter, slightly quicker. A big leggie now and it grips and spins into the batsman. Well-timed on-drive there. Can't get this past the fielder. One more
19.2 Gogga Adams to Wiets Steyn, 1, 79kph, This one is bowled slightly flatter, slightly quicker. A big leggie now and it grips and spins away from the batsman. W Steyn plays it gently through the off side. Can't get this past the fielder. One more
19.3 Gogga Adams to Mike Pollock, 1, 70kph, G Adams gives this one some air. The straight one now. M Pollock puts bat to ball but mistimes it. Easy single to be had there
19.4 Gogga Adams to Wiets Steyn, 1, 70kph, G Adams gives this one some air. Full length just outside off stump. That sped away like a tracer bullet. Fantastic leg glance. Easy single to be had there
19.5 Gogga Adams to Mike Pollock, 2, 74kph, G Adams tosses this one up to M Pollock. Full length outside off stump. Excellent timing from M Pollock as he plays an on-drive. The initial call is two - the batsmen make it quite easily in the end
19.6 Gogga Adams to Mike Pollock, 4, 70kph, G Adams gives this one some air. M Pollock plays an extravagant on-drive. Glorious timing. Excellent timing and placement. Four
Not the best of outings from G Adams. He'll want to forget this in a hurry.

0.3 Tshepo Mkize to Warren Carlitz, 1, 135kph, short length outside off stump. W Carlitz plays an extravagant late cut. Glorious timing. Sloppy fielding results in an extra run

0.3 Wiets Steyn to Faf de Klerk, 1, 135kph, good length on middle stump. Spanked through the leg side. Great leg glance. Misfields allowing the batsman to go through for the single
0.4 Wiets Steyn to Herschelle Meintjies, 1, 118kph, W Steyn pushes this through at no great pace. Short length just outside off stump. H Meintjies drives but can't time it properly. That is an excellent call by H Meintjies. One run
0.5 Wiets Steyn to Faf de Klerk, 0, 135kph, good and straight. Kevin Hall drops a sitter. The non-striker calls for a non-existent run. F de Klerk rightly sends him back

What a finish! A nail-biter to the very end. Well played to both teams, but in the end, there can be only one winner. LIONS will breathe a sigh of relief after today's match and will be hoping to be more authoritative in the next one. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said LIONS proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with TITANS claiming an impressive victory by 57 runs. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by TITANS and they will no doubt want to build on the foundation laid today. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. Seam and spin benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said TITANS proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

What a finish! A nail-biter to the very end. Well played to both teams, but in the end, there can be only one winner. TITANS will breathe a sigh of relief after today's match and will be hoping to be more authoritative in the next one. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. Swing and seam benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said TITANS proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

That's the end of the game and WESTERN PROVINCE wrap up a massive victory winning by 6 wickets. LIONS was never in the game but that is more down to WESTERN PROVINCE's excellent performance than it was the former's poor effort. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said WESTERN PROVINCE proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.
