JOHANNESBURG: Reigning CSA 4-Day Series Champions, DP World Lions, secured a home final with a commanding eight-wicket victory (DLS Method) over Momentum Multiply Titans in the CSA T20 Challenge semi-final on Wednesday.

Opting to field first after winning the toss at the DP World Wanderers, the Lions efficiently restricted the Titans to 131/9.

Jack Lees led the Titans’ batting with an unbeaten 64* off 43 deliveries, receiving sole support from Rivaldo Moonsamy (24) in the dominant Lions’ bowling attack.

Young sensation, Nqaba Peter, earned bowler of the match with figures of 4/18 in four overs, further establishing his presence in the competition.

Codi Yusuf claimed two wickets, contributing to the Lions’ strong bowling performance as everyone chipped in to restrain their neighbouring rivals.

Chasing a target of 132, the Lions faced an early setback with the loss of Reeza Hendricks. However, Rassie van der Dussen’s unbeaten 73*, along with contributions from Ryan Rickelton (38) and Temba Bavuma (19*), ensured a smooth chase as the hosts reached 134/2 in 14.4 overs.

Vintcent van der Bijl (born 1948) – 13 internationals, 24.83 average, 50 high score, 61 wickets, 20.20 average, 5-25 best, four five-wicket innings: At the time of his retirement in the early ’80s, he was the most prolific bowler in South African domestic cricket. He topped the annual Currie Cup wicket tally for about a decade. Broken down to a five-Test series, he would have grabbed 23-24 wickets per series. He had outstanding consistency. He had the same imposing physique and bowling style as the Windies’ Joel Garner. His high batting average is courtesy of ten not outs in 16 innings.

  1. The Rugby World Cup 1995 was held in South Africa: South Africans take a lot of pride in their rugby team, popularly called ‘The Springsbook.’ As the FIFA World Cup, South Africa was the first African country to host the Rugby World Cup tournament in 1995. The event became more successful as South Africa won the finale against New Zealand. The team was incredible enough to win the IRB Rugby World Cup two more times in 2007 and again in 2019.

  2. The biggest event in cricket is the World Cup, which is organized by the International Cricket Council (ICC). It was founded in 1909 as the Imperial Cricket Conference. The three founding countries include England, South Africa, and Australia.
