JOHANNESBURG: Dafabet Warriors continued their winning streak in the Cricket South Africa (CSA) 1 Day Cup after thumping AET Tuskers by eight wickets at the Dafabet St George’s Park.

Warriors opted for the ball first to sink their visitors to 130 all out in honest under 35 overs.

Nealan van Heerden was the chief destroyer, with a five-wicket haul that saw off Dilivio Rigaard (8), Malcom Nofal (3), Kyle Nipper (28), Keith Dudgeon for none, Simangaliso Nhlebela with two runs.

JP King’s unbeaten half century (68 off 64) took the Warriors home after losing only the two wickets of Jordan Hermann (39), and Sinethemba Qeshile (17).

Meanwhile, Western Province kept their CSA 1 Day Cup final hopes alive with a 45-run victory against the Hollywoodbets Dolphins in Durban.

The visitors opted to bat first, with a rocky start that saw their line-up dismissed at regular intervals.

Division 2’s SA Emerging Players, Valentine Kitime (50) and Abdullah Bayoumy (54) scored crucial half centuries as Western Province ended the innings on 302/8.

George Linde’s half ton (55 off 47) was also crucial in taking the visitors to a respectable target.

Okuhle Cele (4/55) was the pick of the bowlers for the hosts after registering the wickets of Jonathan Bird (10), Tony de Zorzi (32), Kyle Verreynne (19) and the all-important Linde wicket.

Dolphins’ chase was set up nicely by Jon-Jon Smuts (94) and Marques Ackerman (72) who stood for 143 runs in their opening stand.

Their demise saw a regular descend of wickets, with Dane Paterson (4/38), and Mihlali Mpongwana (3/32) at the forefront of the visitor’s attack to restrict the hosts to 257 all out.

In Division 2, the ITEC Knights maintained their unbeaten streak with a 106-run win (via DLS Method) against Northern Cape Heat in Bloemfontein.

Shaun Pollock: Shaun Pollock came around the scene when South Africa’s bowling lineup was led by Allan Donald. He came and made a frightening duo with the legend and then eventually surpassed his record to become Proteas best bowler ever.
Pollock is South Africa’s leading wicket-taker in all the formats as he has 823 wickets to his name. He is also the 7th highest wicket-taker in the world in all formats.

Pollock was chosen as the Wisden cricketer of the year for 2013.

  1. Sport Trivia: Who was the first SA cricketer to take a hat trick in Test cricket? Answer: Geoff Griffin in the second test match against England at Lords in June 1960 — he dismissed Mike Smith, caught by the wicket-keeper, then bowled Peter Walker and Freddy Trueman. England went on to win the game by an innings and 73 runs. He never played another test match after that, due to his continually being called no-ball for alleged throwing.
