Historic Win from GBets Warriors

By

On Friday 26 November 2021 the Gbet Warriors closed a historic win in their 4 day game as they beat WP by an Innings and 114 Runs at St Georges Park, Gqeberha.

24 Wickets fell in the second day as the Warriors dominated play.

The Warriors went in first to bat and were all bowled out for 366. The last wicket to fall was Ndwandwa after a superb 22 minutes at the crease – 20 runs from 24 balls, 20 dots, 3 fours and 1 six.

On Day two we saw a cracking start for the Warriors against WP as van Vuuren clean bowled Kaplan for 4 runs putting WP on 10/1 as the teams went to lunch. WP were chasing a 356 deficit.

The Warriors bowlers went on a punishing regime dominating the WP batsmen and forcing them to an all out total of 79.

The Warriors put WP back into bat and deja vu set in as van Vuuren took first blood with Kaplan falling after 6 runs.

The chase was on.

Stand out for WP was Basheer Walters with his 52 runs off of 44 balls only to be sent back to the changing rooms after the most magnifocent catch of the day from Lubbe almost on the boundary off of the bowling of Ngoepe.

6 minutes later it was all over as Jacobs sent Waqu home for a duck after another magnificent catch by Lubbe.

WP finished on 173/10.
