Chevrolet Warriors have a tough day.

By

Chevrolet Warriors currently playing against the Chevrolet Knights battled to make a breakthrough in their Supersport game in Kimberley today.  Warriors winning the toss put the Knights in to bat, but the second wicket partnership of 157 runs by Rilee Russouw and Dean Elgar set up the day for the Knights. JJ Smuts eventually making the breakthrough by removing Elgar for 70 Runs in the 50th over. Wickets then fell at  regular intervals and Knights finishing  day one on 281/6. Rilee Russouw eventually going out on  122 caught by Thyssen of the bowling of Theron.

Warriors bowlings figures: Birch 17 overs, 2 maidens, 56 for 3,  Basheer Walters, 13/3/52/1, Reece Williams 9/0/46/0, Rusty Theron 17/4/47/1, Justin Kreusch 7/1/28/0, JJ Smuts 16/4/41/1 and Bennett 1/0/4/0   
  Knights batters scored:    Hendricks 12 off 20 balls, D Elgar 70/150, R Russouw 122/196, R Bailey 19/34, A McClaren 0/18, M van Wyk 14/12,  R McLaren not out 22 /47 and J van der Wath  not out on 3 off 13 balls.

Warriors need to strike early on day two and get the last 4 wickets cheaply, so that they can get in and bat for the whole day and put up a score as good as the Knights. The batters need to settle down and bat upfront and put together big partnerships to secure an advantage taking them into the second innings, where hopefully the bowlers will do there part in securing Warriors their first win.  

In the other games, Lions 363/3 at the end of days play vs Cape Cobras. Dolphins 275/8 vs Titans
