GALLERY and VIDEO: Vryheid Cricket Club – Mighty Mr X an indestructible force on the field
Wicket Wasps started off well with a remarkable opening partnership between Tiaan Naudè (79) and Juan Booyens (65). The team was, however, eventually dismissed for only 185 runs in the 26th over.
A close call for Wicket Wasps' opening batsman, Juan Booyens, as the ball just slips through the fingers of Mr X's always animated Clifford Dougherty at slip, much to the disbelief of bowler, Johan Pollard and wicket keeper, Duvan Grobbelaar.

The other match was played in Dumbe, where the Gladiators batted first and were bowled out for 109 in the 26th over, thanks to competent and efficient bowling from Zane Holiday (7-0-27-4) and Rupert Beneke (8-1-42-3). Thulani Zondo (33) and Leon Zwane (22) were the top run scorers for Gladiators.
Dumbe made easy work of reaching the target without losing either of their opening batsmen, Charl Beneke (58) and Marcel Hinze (54). They passed the target in the 13th over, winning by 10 wickets.
