The CSA One-Day Cup 2022/23 in Division 1 has dished up a mixed (disappointing?) bag for the Dafabet Warriors who showed signs of brilliance when they beat then log leaders, Western Province, only to lose against the Gbets Rocks from Boland in their last outing which plunged them to the bottom of the log.

On Wednesday 21 December 2022, the Warriors played against present log leaders, DP World Lions, after the Lions won their match against Western Province.

The following teams have been eliminated from the competition: Titans, Knights, Dolphins and Warriors.

Today this young team play to salvage pride and for experience. The toss was won by the DP World Lions who elected to send the Warriors in to bat first.

Openers Wihan Lubbe and Jordan Hermann got off to a sparkling start hitting a run rate of 10.5 in the second over.

But Olivier put paid to Lubbe’s run spree after being caught by Delport. Lubbe walked on 13 runs after 12 minutes, 10 balls, 5 dots and 2 fours. In next was Diego Rosier.

At the close of 5 overs the Dafbet Warirors were on 33/1 with a 6.6 run rate. Lubbe (out for 13), Hermann (7), Rosier (10) and 3 Extras. Olivier was on 12/1 after 3 overs and former home boy, Magala was on 21/0 after 2 overs.

A blow to the Warriors in the 6th over as Hermann retired on 8, after an ankle injury, only to be replaced with Tristan Stubbs. Hermann does have the option to come on and bat again should he recover.

10 Overs down and the Warriors were on 60/1 with a 6.o run rate. Rosier (17) and Stubbs (14) with 8 extras. WP Bowlers – Olivier was on 17/1 after 5 overs, Magala on 36/0 after 4 oevrs and Sipamla on 6/0 after 1 over.

Teams:

Dafabet Warriors: Mathew Breetzke, Wihan Lubbe, Diego Rosier, Lesiba Ngoepe, Sinethemba Qeshile, Beyers Swanepoel, Akhona Mnyaka, Glenton Stuurman, Ziyaad Abrahams, Jordan Hermann, Tristan Stubbs.

DP World Lions: Cameron Delport, Ryan Rickelton, Reeza Hendricks, Wiaan Mulder, Dominic Hendricks, Connor Esterhuizen, Sisanda Magala, Bjorn Fortuin, Malusi Siboto, Lutho Sipamla, Duanne Olivier.
