JOHANNESBURG: The 2025/26 edition of the Hollywoodbets Pro Series got off to a thrilling start at the DP World Wanderers Stadium this weekend, as the DP World Lions Women and Hollywoodbets Dolphins Ladies shared the spoils in the season’s opening fixtures.

In the Hollywoodbets Pro50, Dolphins Ladies claimed a 12-run victory, thanks to a standout all-round performance.

Dolphins had set a competitive target of 247 after posting 246 all out in their allotted 50 overs. Nicole De Klerk led the charge with 80 off 73 balls whilst debutant, Micaela Andrews, impressed with the ball, returning figures of 4/35, to help restrict the hosts.

Lions fell just short in their chase, finishing 12 runs behind as the Dolphins secured an impressive opening win with SA U19 Women youngster, Fay Cowling (45) five runs short of a half century.

Madison Landsman (3/13 in 4.5 overs) and Raisibe Ntozakhe (3/53 in 10 overs) were the pick of the bowlers, keeping the Lions in the contest until the final overs.

The Hollywoodbets Pro20 clash followed on Sunday, and the Lions bounced back in fine fashion.

Dolphins were bowled out for 77 in 18.4 overs, with Ntozakhe once again leading from the front, producing an excellent spell of 4/16 in 3.5 overs. She was well supported by Relebohile Mkhize, who claimed 3/11 in four overs.

Chasing 78 for victory, the Lions made hard work of the target but eventually got over the line with three wickets in hand.

For the Dolphins, Jade De Figueiredo (2/15 in 3 overs) and Zintle Mali (2/14 in 3 overs) tried to keep their team in the game, but the Lions held their nerve to close out a well-fought win.

With the opening weekend complete, both sides will take plenty of positives from their performances as the Hollywoodbets Pro Series season gains momentum.
