Dolphins crowned champions
The club's Nick Tatham said, "The Dolphins were the form team through the competition as they won seven of their ten games during the group stages of the competition to finish on the top of the log with a guaranteed home semi-final and a home final."
Following the halted Momentum One Day Cup due to the spread of the Coronavirus, Cricket South Africa has decided to award the Hollywoodbets Dolphins with the 50 over competition title while Hollywoodbets KZN Coastal will share the three-Day Provincial Cup title.
The club’s Nick Tatham said, “The Dolphins were the form team through the competition as they won seven of their ten games during the group stages of the competition to finish on the top of the log with a guaranteed home semi-final and a home final. The top performer with the bat for the Dolphins was Grant Roelofsen who finished the competition as the leading run scorer with 588 runs at an average of 65.33 and a top score of 147 not out. From a bowling front, Keshav Maharaj was the pick of the bowlers with sixteen wickets in just seven matches at an average of 14 runs per wicket.”
It was an impressive effort from the side who was led admirably by Keshav Maharaj, and in his absence Prenelan Subrayen.
“The side picked up two bonus point wins, both against the VKB Knights and will now boast two 50 over trophies in three seasons. Hollywoodbets KZN Coastal also repeated the feat they achieved two seasons ago when they won the three-Day Provincial Cup title. This season they will share the trophy with Easterns but the side once again proved their worth in red ball cricket,” he added.
