JOHANNESBURG: The DP World Lions will host the 2025/26 1Day Cup final at the DP World Wanderers on Sunday, 29 March at 10h00. This, after securing a 34-run victory over Goldrush Boland to finish top of the standings on Saturday.

An unbeaten 91 off 78 balls from Delano Potgieter guided the Lions to a competitive total of 242/7 in their allotted 50 overs, supported by valuable contributions throughout the batting line-up.

Despite a spirited effort from the hosts, including Yves Kamanzi’s four-wicket haul and half-centuries from Gavin Kaplan (72) and Jhedli van Briesies (55), Boland were unable to contain the visitors in Paarl.

The Lions’ bowlers then combined effectively to dismiss Boland for 208, with Reeza Hendricks leading the way with 3/33, while Nqaba Peter and Fortuin claimed two wickets apiece.

Meanwhile in Gqeberha, the Dafabet Warriors fell just short of claiming top spot, despite securing a five-wicket victory over the Moothee Ram Tuskers earlier on Saturday.

Their chances depended on the Lions’ result going their way, but the Gqeberha-based side finished second on the log, just one point behind the Lions.

Leading wicket-taker Gideon Peters starred with the ball, claiming 4/32 to help bowl the Tuskers out for 197.

In reply, Sinethemba Qeshile’s unbeaten 55, alongside Modiri Litheko’s 49, and Patrick Kruger (34*) ensured the Warriors chased down the target comfortably, reaching 200 in under 36 overs.

The Warriors will now host Qualifier 1 against Momentum Multiply Titans at the Dafabet St George’s Park on Wednesday, 25 March.

On Sunday, the Titans entered their final fixture against the NWU North West Dragons needing a win to secure their place in the qualifier, and duly delivered with a commanding eight-wicket victory via the DLS method in a rain-affected encounter at SuperSport Park.

Elsewhere, the Hollywoodbets Dolphins secured a narrow one-wicket victory over World Sports Betting Western Province in Durban.
