Another round of this tournament has been cometed with some thrilling games over the weekend.
The most thrilling game was Boland's game against the North West that went down to a super over. Chasing 182, the North West looked like they were letting it slip away from them but Dwaine Pretorius' 51 ball 74 got them back on track. With 8 needed in the final over, it went down to (and beyond) the line. A 4 off the final ball brought on the super over. As things go it was a bit of a damp squib. The North West scored a 6 but then lost 2 wickets in succession to bring an end to proceedings. Boland won it in three balls.
Western Province beat the Lions in today's morning match to make it three wins in three to top the table.
The Warriors' Tristan Stubbs is having a decent competition. After scores of 51 and 21 in the first two matches he got 80* against the Dolphins yesterday to put him 26 points clear as the highest run scorer. All rounder Jason Smith has the most wickets with 6 for the Dolphins.
Games continue through the week with third placed Dolphins versus fourth placed Titans the Premier fixture tomorrow.
