Boksburg back to winning ways thanks to Duckworth-Lewis method
The Boksburg Cricket Club claimed an all-important away win against United in their Eastern Cricket Premier League match on Sunday, February 5.
The local side put itself in a good position to claim the win after posting 165 after 49.3 overs of their batting innings, with Jarrod James top-scoring with an imposing 73.
Boksburg’s batting order otherwise faltered apart from James’ heroics with the other double-digit scorers all scoring less than 20 runs.
The home side won by 17 runs via the Duckworth-Lewis method.
In the bowling stakes, Chris Opperman produced numbers of 3/11 but it was United’s James de Nyschen who stole the bowling show. The bowler took 5/34 but unfortunately still ended on the losing side.
United finished their batting innings on 80/5 after 26 overs. They conceded the loss of all of Ryan Bond, Lodie Greef, Andie Johnson, Anthony Kruger and Matthew Stander.
Dillen Grause and Reynardt de Lange finished on unbeaten eight and one respectively. – @SabeloBoksburg
