Only one match was completed the past weekend in the SWD Cricket Board Premier League competition. Sussex caused a major upset when they defeated the highly rated team of NMMU by 8 wickets at D’Almeida. Godfrey Plaatjies (7/18) was the hero when he took a hat trick in the NMMU innings – which were bowled out for only 39. Reaven Plaatjies (3/21) was also in good form with the ball. Sussex (40/2) bagged full match points.
Wet conditions had the final say in most the fixtures – including the Twenty20 competition preliminary round matches scheduled to be played at Rooirivier-rift on Sunday. Thembalethu who won both their T20 matches secured a place in the quarter final’s.
The CSA Women’s league fixture that was scheduled to be played between SWD and EasternProvince on Sunday was also abandoned without a ball being bowled due to wet conditions.
