JOHANNESBURG: The Cricket South Africa (CSA) Four-Day Domestic Series action continues, with five matches taking place across Division One and Division Two teams from 10-13 November 2022. All matches are streamed live on the CSA YouTube page and ball-by-ball action is available on the CSA App.

In Paarl, Janneman Malan struck 132 runs from 207 balls to help the Gbets Rocks set a competitive lead against the Dafabet Warriors. Malan had the support of Stiaan van Zyl who recorded a run-a-ball 91 as Rocks were bowled out with 332 runs.

Glenton Stuurman registered a five-wicket haul for the visitors, including the dismissal of Malan.

Beuran Hendricks grabbed two quick wickets to dismiss Dean Elgar and Sibonelo Makhanya for none and the Momentum Multiply Titans went to stumps on 1 /2 at SuperSport Park. Earlier, half centuries from Kyle Verreynne (87) and Mihlali Mpongwana (77) helped guide the Six Gun Grill Western Province to a first innings score of 328/10.

Meanwhile, the North West Dragons were on 94/1 when rain stopped play in Bloemfontein. The ITEC Knights had opted to bowl first when Gerald Coetzee’s first ball dismissed opener, Wesley Marshall without any runs. Grant Mokoena (78*), anchored the innings with the support of Shaylen Pillay.

In Division 2, the Northern Cape will look to continue from where they left off this past weekend as they take on Eastern Cape Iinyathi in Kimberly. Rivaldo Moonsamy powered an unbeaten ton of 138* and a half century from Ernest Kemm (56) saw the Heat end the day on 242/3.

In Polokwane, Limpopo Impalas are currently on 87/5, trailing the Mpumalanga Rhinos by 143 runs.

Cricket came to South Africa during the Napoleonic Wars and with the British forces occupying South Africa. The first match recorded was in 1808 in Cape Town between two service teams, for a prize of one thousand rix-dollars.

The oldest cricket club in South Africa is the Port Elizabeth Cricket Club, founded in 1843. Few clubs in the world can boast such a long existence. The first championship was held in Port Elizabeth (now Gqeberha) in 1876 for the “champion bat.” Competing teams were Cape Town, Grahamstown, King Williams Town, and Port Elizabeth (now Gqeberha). It was won by King Williams Town and the year after that too.
