The Warriors won that game by one wicket.

Hermann now plays for the Warriors and posted his highest One Day game score for the Warriors today against the Gbets Rocks – 150 run out.

Hermann’s previous highest score for the Warriors was 187 not out in the second innings of a four day game against Boland (Gbets Rocks) on 10 November 2022 in Paarl.

After a fine performance and win against Western Province last week the Warriors faced ‘close to the bottom of the log’ Gbets Rocks from Boland at St Georges Park, Gqeberha on 18 December 2022.

Teams:

Rocks (Playing XI): Janneman Malan, Valintine Kitime, Clyde Fortuin(w), Leus du Plooy, Christiaan Jonker, Michael Copeland, Ferisco Adams(c), Shaun von Berg, Hardus Viljoen, Bamanye Xenxe, Achille Cloete

Warriors (Playing XI): Wihan Lubbe, Jordan Hermann, Diego Rosier(c), Tristan Stubbs, Matthew Breetzke, Sinethemba Qeshile(w), Lesiba Ngoepe, Glenton Stuurman, Tiaan van Vuuren, Akhona Mnyaka, Ziyaad Abrahams

The Warriors lost the toss to the Rocks and batted first posting a total of 319/5 in their allotted 50 overs.

Warriors Innings:

  • W Lubbe: 69 – run out (Cloete)
  • J Hermann: 150 – run out (Xenxe)

The Gbets Rocks came back from lunch to chase 320 in their allotted 50 overs and opened with danger man Janneman Malan who posted 58 before being caught out by Mnyaka off the bowling of Stubbs.

And then the game of cat and mouse continued as the Rocks chased the Warriors run rate – always staying just a tad behind the target set.

Until the 43rd over when the partnership between Von Berg and Viljoen blew up with Von Berg batting with insolence and equalling the run rate required for a win. 33 balls were enough for these two batsmen to reach their 50 partnership.

And the shit hit the fan for the Warriors in the 45th over as the Rocks rocked the park with sixes and fours allowing Viljoen (batting at number 9) to reach 40. Warriors up the creek without a paddle as the required run rate dropped to 4.

Some redemption for the Warriors as they dismissed Viljoen paving the way for the Rocks number 10, Xenxe to face his first ball from Abrahams.

With 4 overs remaining the Gbets Rocks needed 19 runs to win with one wicket in hand.

Von Berg and Xenxe settled into ‘wicket guarding’ mode as they blocked and parried each ball whilst the Warriors kept to the same pace and length from their bowlers – no great shakes from the home team as they marched inexorably towards a very ‘egg on the face’ loss.

With 2 overs left the Rocks needed 7 runs from 12 balls for the win. A change of pace and bowlers was needed desperately by the Warriors but Stuurman came in for his 10th over to be klapped by Von Berg for a six and a four to clinch the game for the Gbets Rocks.

Gbets Rocks won by two wickets after posting 323/8 in reply to the Warriors 319/5.
