Well Done to the Warriors for the Pro20 Weekend
Full marks for Chevrolet Warriors in Standard Bank Pro20 weekend
The Chevrolet Warriors made it two out of two during this past weekend's Standard Bank Pro20 matches against the Diamond Eagles and the Nashua Dolphins.
Taking on the Diamond Eagles at Buffalo Park in East London on Friday, the Chevrolet Warriors continued their winning streak in East London when they took victory in the last over to win by three runs. It was by no means an easy game for either side, but excellent bowling by the Warriors' Rusty Theron secured the deal for the Warriors.
Winning the toss and electing to bat first, the Chevrolet Warriors were in trouble on 1/1 after Jon Jon Smuts was caught off the bowling of Jandre Coetzee in the first over. Another solid batting performance by Colin Ingram helped the Warriors to 149/7 in their 20 overs. Ingram who has been in superb form throughout the MTN40 series knocked 61 off 49 balls, while former Proteas spinner Nicky Boje added a useful 32 off 20 balls to the Warriors' total. Setting the Eagles a total of 150 to win, the Chevrolet Warriors had defending to do with ball in hand.
Dolphins captain Imraan Khan did his best to play attacking cricket and scored 45 off 31 runs, but the lack of a solid and consistent partnership hampered the Dolphins' run chase. The Chevrolet Warriors' bowlers were on target with Ntini, Theron, Boje and Lyall Meyer each picking up two wickets. In the end, the Dolphins could only reach 139/8, resulting in the Chevrolet Warriors winning their second Standard Bank Pro20 match by 23 runs.
