Knights Maintain Pressure During Morning Session
The Knights’ bowling line-up effectively stifled the‍ Hollywoodbets Dolphins’ batting efforts during the early part of their CSA 4-Day Series match at Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein. As the players broke for lunch on Thursday, the Dolphins had managed a score of 85/1.
At that point, Tshepang Dithole was unbeaten on 33 runs while Slade van Staden contributed a steady 20 runs. The visitors won the toss and decided to take first strike but faced immediate challenges when captain Sarel Erwee (23) was dismissed in the sixteenth over by Malusi Siboto. Attempting to drive a length ball, he edged it into Gihahn Cloete’s hands behind the stumps after forming a solid opening partnership of 43 runs with Dithole.
Dithole and Van Staden then took on the responsibility to stabilize their innings with a resilient second-wicket partnership of 42 runs, demonstrating patience against an attack featuring three pacers along with spinner Dane Piedt.
Malusi Siboto stood out as the most effective bowler for the Knights during this session, claiming one wicket while conceding just seven runs across five overs. He received excellent support from Aaron Phangiso who bowled two uninterrupted maiden overs without giving away any points. Meanwhile, Piedt endured some difficulty conceding 29 runs over his eleven-over spell.
Team Lineups:Knights: Jacques Snyman, Lesego Senokwane, Gihahn Cloete (wk), Patrick Botha, Dian Forrester, Aubrey Swanepoel, Aaron Phangiso, Tiaan van Vuuren, Matthew Pollard (c), Dane Piedt (c), Malusi Siboto.Dolphins: Sarel Erwee (c), Tshepang Dithole (wk), Slade van Staden; Bryce Parsons; Jason Smith; Romashan Pillay; Jon-Jon Smuts; Andile Simelane; Prenelan Subrayen; Daryn Dupavillon; Okuhle Cele.Hendricks Leads Lions Strongly
The DP World Lions entered lunch at DP World Wanderers with a solid score of 74/1 against Dafabet Warriors in their CSA 4-Day Series encounter on Thursday. Captain Dominic Hendricks played an instrumental role with an unbeaten count of 46 alongside Muhammad Manack who supported him steadfastly on 14 at lunch.
This season has marked an impressive start for Hendricks following his incredible performance where he scored a magnificent tally of 161 in his previous outing against WSB Western Province—propelling them to an imposing total of 403/6d and securing victory by a margin of ten wickets. Near lunchtime here today he found himself merely four runs short from notching up what would be his fifty-second half-century across first-class cricket.
Younger teammate Manack has also showcased promise early in this season’s matches—after achieving his inaugural first-class fifty during last week’s game versus Western Province and now eyeing another milestone as they built upon their unbroken second-wicket pairing worth sixty-nine contending after Joshua Richards’ departure in over six.
Beyers Swanepoel emerged as top bowler for Warriors taking one wicket but ensuring only five additional runs crossed under batsman efficiency within ten overs. Fellow bowlers Patrick Kruger limited opponents effectively by giving away nine throughout four overs followed closely by Duanne Olivier yielding twenty-one from nine sessions pitched thereafter revealing competitive tension between both sides unfolded throughout playtime today thus far!
